All: If the zip codes are in the database, I can do mileage calculations based on the need. I can calculate who/how many WISPs are providing coverage within 25 miles of a certain zip code. I can do this quickly and efficiently if the database is updated and would even be able to respond to the opportunity with "Based on our current database, XX% of your requested zip codes fall within 25 miles of a WISP." This opportunity can turn into some major cash for a temporary internet connection.
