    Some communities weren’t large enough to get isps to come out and lay infrastructure. Being that the church was typically at the centre, these churches found a community project in setting up these mini wisps. The ones I heard of were selling more or less at cost, to locals only. I presume they are still like that, but don’t know for sure.

      WIPS programs are great, I worked related to tower installations and supported these programs. I also know the shit ton of money people make for letting someone install an antenna on your property, great business…. I hope they pay their taxes.
