The truth of the matter is pretty easy to cipher looking at the past with anyone being able to resale DSL..etc, but now the Telco's are not having to allow DSL to be resold over their lines. Things change, politicians change, policy changes - - nothing is forever!
This shared wireless access/ network made available to be resold crap has to be put off till we see what happens with the spectrum yet to be auctioned. If the RBOCs fall in here and buy up/run the price out of range for the local WISPs that will put a whole new spin on everything. The rest of my comments are with held at this point in time on the grounds I may incriminate myself!
