Matt, I wanted to once again offer my praise for your fine 8 part story. Finally, a read that reflects the true essance of what the WISP industry is all about.
We might not get broadband to the remaining 24 million unserved American homes overnight. But our Industry really does make an impact at 1-50 homes one day at a time. We have 2 million subs to prove it. I've always said, we can do it alone if we have to, but we could do so much more with just a LITTLE help. I dont think many regulators really understand what that means yet, "a little help". I expecially like your closing paragraphs that spells it out.... Something similar to Guarantees for a lot of $10k projects would go a lot further, than these few $multi-million projects. I personally think your story deserves to be picked up by a major magazine or newspaper. In my opinion, every individual in government policy should read it, before they pass judgement on our industry. I think the fact that your story is told from the perspective of rural America will help people more easilly visualize the issues. But the reality is there are a lot of Urban and Suburban Cowboys out there to. Although the challenge are a bit different, they have similar impact. But some of the most important points apply to us all. For example, the fact that WISP's effort are so quickly discounted as second best early in the process, but at the end of the day, we have a lot to offer and the ones comming to the table with a real solution. A small town is relevent to us, so we get it done. I hope everyone passes the link around.
