- bcrl 6y agoWISPs are usually bottlenecked by the amount of unlicensed spectrum available. Geography can also makes operating a WISP difficult. Hilly and heavily treed terrain is poorly served by wireless, as are high density residential neighbourhoods. As one academic put it: investment in wireless merely delays investment in fibre.
