I own a WISP operation in Mt. Vernon, Illinois called Mt. Vernon. Net, Inc. http://www.mvn.net/. We were the first broadband in our town in 1999. We are not just Wi-Fi either. We use several different technologies from several suppliers including WiMax. That's right. We have WiMax in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. We serve the networking and Internet needs of residents, businesses, local government, the local high school and the area community college. I have 15 megabit through the air feeding my houise right now. I have a fiber optic backhaul connection to St. Louis where I interconnect with Level 3. I can upgrade it to 1 gigabit if needed. I just thought you might want to know about me and the 2600 plus other WISPs in the US who are serving the broadband needs of over 2 million people. Most of the time we bring it to them in places nobody else serves. WISPs are the true 3rd pipe pf broadband in this country. Please contact WISPA http://www.wispa.org if you need any more data for any further articles about broadband in the future. We will be glad to give you more insights.
