WISPA appears to be American WISP-centric Ralph. How many members are based outside the USA?
What does WISPA do for non-American WISPs other than run a very good public mailing list that provides some decent discussion on the business in general terms? Please take a look at the WISPA web site and list 1 thing on it that is of specific benefit for a WISP outside the US? What percentage of WISPA membership dues are spent on efforts to influence the FCC? I'm not saying any of this is bad, just that the value equation is not the same if you are not based in the US.
