We are in the western suburbs of Chicago - Lisle -
and unfortunately can't get DSL or cable broadband access.
We are mostly too far from the serving CO - Naperville -
and the local cable system was never setup for data.

Therefore, we have been investigating wireless access
using the technology from Nokia(2.4Ghz)  or Motorola (5Ghz)

Our village technology group is researching various ideas,
and hopes to act as a broker to bring a W-ISP into our area.

After the technology meeting last night,
I did a little surfing looking for info on Canopy,
along with the Motorola site,
<http://www.motorola.com/canopy/>
and a reseller site -
<http://www.ecommwireless.com/canopy.html>

There are quite a few items on the web,
and some threads in newsgroups -

Here is the local Chicago WISP mentioned in the above article.
<http://www.awb.us/>
I think the most interesting part,
is that they are up and running,
and have a real web page with actual customer pricing, etc....
and lastly,
here is the site for the Elgin Fox Valley group -
which again, is up and running with Canopy -
