As we've seen time and time again, attempting to change or repeal the amendment will forever be a will-o'-the-wisp.2. A person or thing that is or seems to be fleeting, intangible, or illusory. The president's stance on the issue has been something of a will-o'-the wisp, seeming to change or disappear entirely as the political climate dictates. The linebacker has been a will-o'-the-wisp all evening, appearing seemingly out of nowhere to deliver bone-rattling tackles.will o' the wispAn unattainable goal. Will o' the wisp is one of the names of the marsh gas phenomenon that causes lights suddenly to appear and disappear over swampy ground (ignis fatuus is another term). Trying to catch a will o' the wisp is impossible, much like trying to catch lightning in a bottle, and so the phrase came to mean anything that can't be done.See also: will, wispwisp
wisp a flock of birds, esp snipe Wisp["An Experiment with a Self-Compiling Compiler for a SimpleList-Processing Language", M.V. Wilkes, Ann Rev AutomaticProgramming 4:1-48. (1964)].WISP(Wireless ISP) An Internet service provider (ISP) that transmits wireless. Using WiMAX and other radio technologies, WISPs generally provide "last mile" connectivity directly to homes and businesses where DSL and cable services are not available.
Mobile Wireless
Carriers such as AT&T, Verizon and Sprint are technically "mobile WISPs;" however, they are generally called "cellular carriers" or "mobile carriers."
Fixed Wireless
In contrast, "fixed wireless WISPs" mount antennas on tall buildings with line of sight to their customers or to other antennas that relay the signals around obstacles. WISPs became popular in rural and outlying areas, because they were the only high-speed Internet connection available; however, they are increasingly being deployed in urban areas competing with the giant ISPs.
Companies use WISPs for regular Internet access as well as for backup in case their wired connection fails. See WiMAX, ISP, fixed wireless, Clearwire, WISPr and 802.11.
