[ NNSquad ] The Story of Medicine Bow

[Matt Larsen - Lists <lists@manageisp.com>]

I recently started a new blog site that will be highlighting the stories 
of Wireless ISPs around the US, along with equipment reviews, opinion 
pieces on broadband policy and some occasional rants and raves.   The 
site is called Wireless Cowboys and you can find it at 
http://www.wirelesscowboys.com/.   For those of you that don't know me, 
I run a WISP in rural Nebraska and Wyoming and the WISP Directory site 
http://www.wispdirectory.com.   My college degree is in journalism and 
this is my attempt to reactivate my writing skills outside of the 
wireless mailling lists.

I have loaded some of my previous postings, but today is the unofficial 
kickoff of the site and I have a long, eight part story about the 
struggles of a small town in Wyoming to get broadband service and how 
they finally got it.   It is an eye opener for people who are not 
directly involved in the WISP industry and a reflection of the everyday 
struggles that WISPs face.

Parts I and II of the story have been posted on the site.

My intention is to feature more articles about WISPs in the future.   If 
you have a WISP story that you would like to share with the world, 
please contact me at wirelesscowboy -at- vistabeam.com.
