What is a WISP?

A WISP, or Wireless Internet Service Provider, refers to a company that provides internet access to customers through wireless technology. This often involves using radio signals to transmit internet data over a geographic area, particularly in locations where traditional wired connections may be difficult or impossible to deploy. WISPs are beneficial in rural or underserved areas, offering connectivity without the infrastructure demands of wired services like DSL or cable.

In contrast, options such as Wide Interface Service Provider or Wired Internet Service Protocol do not accurately describe the concept of a WISP and do not correspond to recognized terms within networking or internet service provision. Similarly, while "Web Internet Service Provider" may sound plausible, it does not specifically reference the wireless aspect that distinguishes WISPs from traditional service providers. Therefore, the correct designation is indeed a Wireless Internet Service Provider, which encapsulates the service provided effectively.
