Yep, that would be them - formerly known as Poplar PCS. Came into our area, tied up RUS funds, waited until the last minute to put equipment on water towers, offered marketing through a local Office Supply company, then nothing. First tests with their stuff wasn't impressive according to a friend of mine. They put out coverage maps that were not accurate; may have had grand plans for what they wanted to cover but it didn't work - especially not here in our area. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned. I've got enough noise in the area without them bringing stuff in as well.
What irritated me about them getting funding was that there were already three broadband providers in our area here - the local LEC and two WISP's. I really don't understand how they pulled it off, but they did - and pretty well eliminated any possibility of some of us other "realistic" WISPs from obtaining funds. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this position - they got what, something like $75million to spread over a bunch of different counties? Man, what I could do with just a small piece of that! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 12:04 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Crossroads Are these the guys that filed for RUS money all over hell and never did anything? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Blake Bowers" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 10:28 AM To: <[email protected]> Cc: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: [WISPA] Crossroads > Just got my notice of bankruptcy for Crossroads.
