yes, as I said, a oneweb terminal could be acquired by a local WISP and used as the primary uplink to serve a remote area. With the local ISP doing distribution of network services by point to multipoint unlicensed band wireless fiber, whatever is practical and financially possible.
The capital equipment cost for a oneweb terminal is much too great for anyone except maybe a very wealthy person with a private island. It's a big set of two motorized tracking antennas in radomes with their own RF chains.
> Also remote northern towns I believe still have network connections and I doubt a wisp will help much
in many cases these are connected by existing geostationary satellite links which are at minimum 492ms, and the $ per dedicated Mbps cost is quite bad. If oneweb can beat the geostationary operators on $/Mbps ratio, they will win a lot of business. Just as o3b beat the geostationary operators for high capacity links into places like pacific nation islands with no submarine fiber.
