While some of the big companies like Facebook, Google and Microsoft got
some press about their wireless experiments during the post-hurricane
recovery, the FCC hasn't heard about the experience of wireless ISPs
during the recovery.
Were there any wireless ISPs in south-Texas, south-Florida, Puerto Rico or
U.S. Virigin Islands? How did they survive, or able to speed recovery
efforts? Were there resources they needed?
WISPs don't normally report in the FCC DIRS or NORS disaster reporting
systems, so WISPs are a blank spot.
