Big Apple, Nap of the Americas, and Seattle are cheap and useful. Not that we are members of any of them.

We have other ISPs buying transit and voice from us that put us in markets without a wireless footprint. Chicago is on our radar, but thus far none of the ISPs we have talked to have pulled the trigger. -Matt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
