I've been putting some thought into how to best identify WISPs across the
country. Here are the methods that strike me as possibilities assuming that
the orgs were willing to cooperate.
1) WISPA member list
2) Part-15.org member list
3) WiNOG list
4) Any state lists generated due to state level reporting, taxation or
registration
5) thelist.com (difficult to use... too many national vaporware providers
claiming to provide in every area code)
6) onelasvegas.com (shows about 188 providers in Illinois alone)
7) http://www.dslreports.com/isplist?t=wireless (shows about 1,150 Wireless
providers)
8) Part 15 WISP locator (478 wireless providers listed)
9) vendors (if any are willing/able to give out client info - doubtful)
10) each other - if each WISP within WISPA were to identify all of the WISPs
that he knows about, that would go a long ways towards mapping out the
nations WISP population.
Realize that their is danger in collecting names because the list could be
misused to solicit. On the other hand, a comprehensive list could also be
used for legitimate reasons such as to inform of government regulation and
to cross-promote each other's services. If every wireless ISP filed a form
477, the government would get a very clear picture of how many hundreds of
thousands of miles of coverage WISPs provide this nation!

I agree with Brian - a Pew Internet study would give the most respected

Best,
You could probably get a University marketing professor to do it.
Cost? Not much more than $500.
