Hi Rich,
WISPA General List is actually a Global List.
It would go a long ways for relevant folks to reply back to you if you
at least share what part of the world ? / State or City if in the US.
My personal reaction after reading the first two paragraphs was to
suggest that you should consider some other business other than being a
WISP.
However after reading the last two paragraphs, it sounds like you may be
the Business / Funding guy, looking for a Technical Partner to build a
business together.
The only reason I am saying this is because this is a tough business to
be in if you are not going to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.
Regards and Good Luck.

Hello,
I operate in the custom software development industry and am
considering setting up a WISP as a new business investment. I know
very little about the industry and am hoping that some of you will not
mind giving me some feedback. In exchange, I'll be glad to answer any
software development questions you may have that I can answer or that
I can get an answer for.
I'm a business person. I'm not interested in learning the low-level
details about wireless hardware or protocals above and beyond what I
need to run the business. I have no desire to ever
install/troubleshoot/repair the equipment myself.
What I want to do is own the service and run the business. My first
thoughts are I want a setup that makes it easiest for the customer to
start using the service. If there is a particular hardware setup that
lets me mail a dongle (small device that would plug into a USB port)
to the customer and viola they're up and running, great! Also, I am
wondering if operating in a licensed spectrum will provide me with
some protection from frequency overload.
I am interested in finding people who may be able to help me analyze a
territory for potential profitability and engineer a setup. So, if it
doesn't violate mailing list rules, feel free to respond with your
contact information so that I can contact you to find out what it
would cost for your services.
I know I have a lot to learn and want to stick with high-level
information so that I can quickly determine if this is a good
opportunity for me.
Thanks,
Rich
