What are the numbers people have on start-up cost (equipment and installation of base stations), operations cost, and effective coverage range, plus downstream and upstream rates with recent WiMAX hardware especially w/r/t to operations by WISPs in fairly small cities?
Are you in the US? I believe you would need to purchase a license for the spectrum, which Clearwire and Sprint own in most regions. But you might be able to lease from them.
If someone else already owns the license for the spectrum in a particular region you would need to lease from them. I dont know specific costs, but my guess is very expensive.
Here is a listing of deployed WiMAX networks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deployed_WiMAX_networks
