hmmm ... an ISP I consulted at tried deployment of a non FCC
type certified 802.11 solution a few years ago, but I was
uneasy with their casual attitude, and certainly did not
understand the business model. Goodness, that was late
2000. They are gone now.
Another I worked with used the Motorola kit which is duly
licensed, but it seemed too fragile around lightning and
again, they are now gone.

I assume you mean the non-connectivity part. That is the
anchor which makes the case for using a local, rather than a
national 'rackshack'

As the customer is always right, we offer whatever the
customer wants on the colo side of the shop; the Windows boxes
are in migration into virtual instances, so we can move them
between datacenters, after a local week long power outage
exposed problems in one 'data hotel's backup power
implementation.
For hysterical, historical reasons, billing is in Optigold
(OS/X), but we batch post process invoice images, etc into
well-named PDFs, and then out to the site, and back onto Linux
hardware. An ancient Sun running SunOS 2.4 <?> was still
doing DNS and the cutomer provisioning code (written back in
1994 <?>) in perl 4 until a re-write earlier this year.
Linux everywhere else (CentOS actually) of course.
