DIY Wireless ISP

Anyone interested in putting together a Wireless ISP

Comcast and Verizon have pretty much done what there going to do. There are way to many areas that are left unserved and underserved.

Im just looking to see if interest is out there and who want to finish what the big guys forgot to.

That's a hefty undertaking, isn't it?

I think its very Do able

So many people are with out basic highspeed internet that they are willing to try something new to get off dialup or the $50 month for 5GB of data I cant see why not with so many options with unlicensed frequencies and a little college try that a Rural WISP couldnt be may available.

My thought was to see where the greatest need was and work from there. As we all know If you live in Waldorf or La Plata for the most part you have options but areas like Fulkner, Ironsides and such really don't.

And I know those of you who use a Mifi or 3g/4g card cant be happy with the speed and data you get for you money.
