>McGrath said in the territory he serves in Texas he’s received a number of requests from parents looking for a completely different connection for their children.

Or just get a modem with parental control? Considering that he used that as an example of how WISPs can stay relevant even with more fiber... I'm not convinced.

Also, I always imagined WISPs to be very local and only for very remote communities. But they mentionned some providers having up to hundreds of thousands of clients in a single state. How bad does the service get at that point? Even wired docsis 3.1 can be pretty horrible in terms of reliability, latency, congestion, etc so I'd guess the congestion issue is even worse for wireless internet?
