I remember around the time JAB/Rise was taking off there was a flurry of other WISPs that took off and then crashed and burned rather suddenly. I think at least one of them used WiMAX equipment that was somewhat popular with apartment dwellers because they had indoor modems. I also seem to remember equipment vendors left holding the bag, and surplus equipment showing up on eBay. I think one of them approached us about M&A but they were offering stock claiming that was better than cash because it would go up in value (yeah, right).
Anyone remember the names of these companies, I'm drawing a blank. Also any recollection of what went wrong and lessons learned that might apply to the current rush to deploy broadand.
