<p>I second the concerns regarding the stability of a WISP network. However, it can be done correctly in a fashion that works. I'm currently a customer of a WISP and I use voip all the time without quality issues. We're using Canopy equipment and I go Office -> Tower 1 -> Tower 2 -> Tower 3 -> Wireless link to backhaul. Believe it or not it works very well using either ULAW or G729.</p><p> </p><p>Darren Wiebe</p><p>darren@aleph-com.net </p><blockquote>Thu Jan 31 2008 09:33:08 AM MST from Nitzan Kon to john.mason.jr@cox.net, Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion <br />Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Starting a VOIP Business<br /><br />I was thinking the exact same thing.
