Providing Ways to Finance a Network Project

Agility Solutions Founders Hal Hayden and Bill MacNamarra found a niche over a year ago and began a company to provide consulting and funding to the new wireless broadband industry, with a specific focus on equipment financing for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs). A bonus for those of us in the metropolitan wireless networking space is that Hal and Bill have spent the better part of a year sorting through the nearly 2000 WISPs and are now in a great position to help cities align with a reputable, local private sector provider for their metropolitan wireless network projects. Contact Hal Hayden or Bill McNamarra for more information.
