Ironically, ISTM that would probably be good for WISPs. If the FCC decides that 10 Mbps is the baseline and areas that don't get it become eligible for USF subsidies, areas with WISP unsubsidized competitors are among those likely to be hit by subsidized new entrants (usually ILECs). 4 Mbps isn't spectacular but other than HD video, it is adequate for most applications. Some 5 GHz systems can of course go faster than 10 Mbps, but it would be a real crunch on 900 MHz and TVWS networks, low frequencies needed in wooded areas.
