“And then we can do a hybrid model” congratulations you just invented an ISP.
“Then we’ll string wires on poles” congratulations you just invented an ISP again.
Actually, you've invented a cooperative.
Actually, you've just made internet access a utility.
Seriously, you seem really oblivious, the issue isn't technology, we basically have magic at this point, the issue is breaking the economic model.
Ok, I still don’t understand how you’ve magically invented access to the Internet Protocol network, but without an Internet Service Provider. Yes, I’ve taken direct action to enable the creation of several WISP networks in the communities I care about. Can you come up with more useless strawmen or do you just want to keep feeling special?
Edit: upon further review it seems like you think infrastructure just magically maintains itself???
This commoditizes wisps, they aren't only in places with LoS, or with special hardware, while still using unlicensed band.
And megaisps have 2 barriers that preserve their market position:
Capital costs
Right of way access they got mostly in the 70s and 80s if not from the original bell rollout
And weren't you the one who particularly said 'last mile'? That's exactly what this is.
