There is a co-op which exists here in the DFW area among several wisps. The marketing name is Cirra Networks and they operate the coop side under Wispops.com. Officially we are members, but don't participate in the buying because we buy enough volume on our own to get preferred pricing from our vendors. They seem to do a pretty good job with what they are doing, and it isn't just buying. They offer other service like shared call center, common marketing, etc. The website for wispops isn't much, but if you contact them, they can describe a lot more about what they do. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a few other members.
