CAWnet meeting are spotty at best. The web site had to change locations 
and for a while the Email list was down. The list is back up, but the 
website isn't. Ma and Pa WISPs have been selling their equipment as 
cable and DSL expands into their turfs. Part 15 Wisps can't compete with 
cable and DSL. Hams wouldn't have to compete, but could work in 
parallel. It's technically doable, cheap and fairly easy, why hasn't it 
happened?
