Welcome to WISP Centric

You might be wondering who we are.  The WISP Centric Group started with the WISP Directory website back in mid-2002.  By mid-2004, the Directory site expanded into the four current WISP Centric sites:

• Start a WISP - a resource for both new and established WISPs that offers a collaborative environment in a "question and answer"-type format.  Each piece of content is organized in various categories for easy retrieval purposes.  One to two pieces of content are added to the site daily.  The site also includes a discussion forum as well as an image/drawing gallery.

• WISP Directory - a global directory of WISPs and related organizations.  The site receives one to two submittals per day and allows end-user reviews and rating.  WISPs are welcome to submit their organizations to the Directory at no charge.

• WISP Classifieds - A categorized resource where WISPs may submit their private-party ads at no charge.  The site also includes a location for industry employment opportunities.
  

We believe in collaborative environments which is why you'll see most of our sites allow user input and interaction.  We believe the only way the WISP industry will advance is with continuous growth and adaption.  We believe this is possible with the help of our site visitors. 

The time spent on this site is pretty much volunteered.  We're extremely thankful and grateful to those that have provided us with input, criticism, advice, etc. over the years and look forward to our continued existance.  If you would like to volunteer to help run the site, please don't hesitate to drop us a line.

We additionally believe in partnering with groups and organizations that share our vision of advancing the community.  Feel free to contact us if you represent an organization that may offer a synergous relationship with WISP Centric.

Our founder

Kory Mohr, WISP Centric's founder, ran Frontier Broadband in Richmond, Virginia prior to selling it to his business partners in 2001.  Kory learned a lot from colleagues, friends and counterparts and wanted to continue to provide a way for WISPs to collaborate and discuss their operations with others within the industry.  The WISP Centric Group is his way of saying "thanks" to those that helped him when he needed it.

Kory also moderated the WISP forum on BroadbandReports.com from '99 to '03.  You'll find lots of experience there from both seasoned WISP veterans and newly established organizations as well.  Kory also ran the former Richmond Free Wireless free network.
