Doesn't work that way. Those entities are called commercial, educational
etc. As a rule, only a wisp would be called a wisp on the books.
All customers are classified.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Admits Mistakes In Measuring Broadband Competition
12000, 6000, 2000, or whatever number of WISPs is mainly hard to quantify
because there are LOTS of 2 and 3 customer private wireless networks,
where a business will buy a T1, DSL or whatever, and share it wirelessly
with a few nearby business, within or without the terms of service
agreements. Those guys may have bought their equipment from vendor X, and
most likely didn't tell anyone (not even the FCC or the RUS) about their
venture. This adds a new "customer" to Electrocomm's roll's and one of
12000 "wisps" in the mix of some of these speculative counts.
Another customer of WISP equipment that is not a WISP might be the
colleges and universities. Many colleges use wireless backhauls and
hotspots on campus. Does that make them a WISP?
University of Houston Victoria Campus has some wireless stuff in their
network for their campus. If they have 1000 students who use it, does that
make them a 1000 subscriber wisp? I doubt that they filed a 477. If they
bought from Smartbridges, Hutton, Electrocomm, or whoever Marlon might
have probed, then they are on his radar, but not necessarily a real
privately held, public-serving WISP.
