Inexpensive off the shelf wifi has persons creating outdoor networks with out researching what makes a good network and with dis- regard for the fact they are using shared spectrum. The only good thing that could come out of it is used wifi goods on the cheap. “the 5.7GHz band which doesn’t have any power restrictions”, ? I would be very surprised to learn that there is a radio service, unlicensed or licensed that has no power restrictions.

I live in a rural area, too far out for DSL and the cable system stops a mile away. My internet access is through a WISP that uses the Motorola Canopy. I’m pleased with the service and glad I have a choice over dial-up, albeit twice the money. The nearly 100x increase in speed takes the edge off the pain.
