Hey, as a WISP employee myself, thanks. It is really frustrating sometimes that potential customers have been trained that the duopoly the article mentioned is reality.
In truth, there is a vibrant, resourceful, and outspoken group of entrepreneurs out to take all of the incumbents marbles. But, like the article says, we have to fight at every turn for access that telco's and cable co's take for granted.
- chc 15y agoIt is a reality in most places. I've looked for smaller ISPs in several areas where I've lived, and there is nothing. It's basically AT&T or Cox/Time-Warner or jump in the lake.
- nitrogen 15y agoI'd love to support an independent ISP, but there is none serving my area with 50+mbit/s speeds.
- magamiako 15y agoExcept wireless ISPs don't come close to the offerings of a copper connection, let alone the connectivity provided by a fiber connection. Harp all you want about how "awesome" wireless is, but until it can push 40ms across the US and back consistently at high bandwidths, you're screwed.
