Again Scott, that is why we used "Primarily" so as not to exclude non-US based organizations.
A WISP is a Community based, Wireless Internet Service Provider that operates using terrestrial-based radio technology, primarily governed by FCC Part 15 regulations; to transport and sell fixed wireless broadband access or related Internet Protocol derived services to end users.

I will ask again, what do the regulations have to do with anything? What about non-US, especially Canadian and Mexican organizations? Why are we excluding them? Why exclude wholesalers and others that only provide middle mile transport? I dropped the word "wireless" intentionally as it is redundant or makes a circular definition. How about: A WISP is a Community based Internet Service Provider that operates using terrestrial-based radio technology to transport and sell fixed wireless broadband access or related Internet Protocol derived services to end users and/or other service providers.
