  • Great Info for a New ISP

    We are a newish native owned WISP in rural Allendale, SC (Redfi Broadband) and this Podcast has given so much insight for us. Binged listened to the episodes. I’D love to hear more interviews with WISP and those who are running hybrid solutions to hear how they did it especially on a budget! Great job guys.
