And what level of support do they include with that plan?
And how much do they pay, to get someone to help it work reliably?

And how much do local ISP's pay, that want to share use of the WIFI network?
What value can the local ISP add, that will justify

Well he won;t be getting RUS loans, if you are protesting as you should be,
as RUS loans are for unserved areas, and you obviously are serving it
already.
Competing against Clearwire is no different
I had a quick interesting conversation with Mobile Pro at WCA. And he
brought up a good point about, why should we discourage investment in this
industry. I say, if someone thinks they can make mesh work, good for them,
I'll even help them if I can to find ways for it to work better, as long as
We have Clearwire in some of the area we serve. I think we have lost one

I just wanted to send out my personal thanks to Butch Evans for taking
the positive step of asking how to advertise on the WISPA lists and then
