There are 3 WISP towers within a couple miles of my house and I can't get a signal from any of them.  You would need a huge number of APs to get decent coverage, but that badly eats into the bottom line (considering the lack of population density).

do you know what freqs those WiSPs are using? Are you LOS or NLOS to any 
of those towers? 900 mHz might be something they need to try. Also, one 
thing we did was use customers locations as a repeater site.
