There wouldn't be any need to. In a typical WISP setup, you wouldn't care so much about how much bandwidth they use on the local network, all you care about is how much of your hardwired Internet connection they utilize. Therefore, you can put a box doing traffic shaping at the edge of the network and accomplish it at the "CO".
