I've thought the same thing. As a small operator, one can have a quicker response to customer needs and be able to put a face to the company. We need to use whatever edge we can to compete, identify their weaknesses as well as ours and build these into our strengths. An organization such as WISPA could be the start of such a thing, to join the independent operators so that we could have a much stronger voice.

"WISPs might seriously want to consider forming cooperatives in which a group of WISPs within a geographic region enter into a joint venture to expand overall capacity. Then that joint venture can apply for stimulus money." You could also save in upstream costs if you provided interconnects with your neighbors so local trafic goes between you not upstream via internet provider as more of you connect you should save more.
