To add to what Mike said, there is no stipulation that there be a road, house, or anything else for that matter in the deployment section of the 477. It is simply where you can provide service and as he pointed out, that is very loosely defined. As there is no hard standard for what providing service really means, and no standard for confirming what is reported, it can easily be taken advantage of. If you are not using this to your own advantage, then I suppose that is your choice., but I know a lot of wisps who would rather not have govt money competing with them, or alternatively, would like to gt some of that money for themselves.
