Not deployed yet, aside from simply the substantial service....
I believe I met two or three others WISPS that had some frequency/spectrum -
one or two in vegas and at least one on the boat....

I am curious if any one of the users here have any frequency deployed. I
know Jay has some in Alabama.

Then, most WISP operations use unlicensed freqencies?

What type of equipment does Clear/OpenRange use that allows a
connection using one of those 1"x3" USB things?

None that I know of. Those are the companies like Clear and
OpenRange. That model doesn't seem to financially or operationally/technically
work.
Most if not all the Wisps here install equipment on vertical space
(grain leg, building, tower) and install a CPE on the customer roof. From the
CPE side, a lot like satellite. Low profile but it is there.

How do the companies that have a dongle do it? Are they using
something other than a WISP?

Rich,
Given current gear, FCC regulations and available spectrum,
outside of
reselling cellular you are not going to going to find anything
you will
be able to reliable allow the customer to self-install. Trust
me, there
are smarter minds than mine that have been trying to figure that
one out
since this industry started.
As Jay mentioned, Clearwire is probably the closest business
model to
what you are looking for, and even with their deep pockets and
licensed
spectrum they are having a tough time making it work. And I
think it is
precisely because they are choosing to go the route that you are
looking
for.
If they took their spectrum and equipment and used it as
traditional,
professionally installed fixed wireless setup they would probably
have a
working business model. Sure their return on investment would be
higher
due to the installer cost, but if they took a dish-network model
to
getting installs done they would only be looking at 3-6 months
break
even on the install cost and considering the amount of money that
has
already been poured into the business I would think that would be
a drop
in the bucket.
