If the building is concrete you will do okay, (standard brick) but if there's steel re-enforcement, forget it. Although I would still try, I have seen it defy all logic in one case. Is there a third point you could setup to relay off of that you can both see?
Having worked for a private semi-large ISP. I can see how this wouldn't be a problem. There they are probably getting 100mbs for around $2000.00 mo. or, that is if they are a CLEC, (there are other charges for co-location etc.) but the bandwith just by itself is small, it's all the other stuff that makes the monthly charges go up.
The short answer is yes, but it would be incredibly hard to have every household. I'm sure there would be some places so dense that it couldn't be done too. You would have to have many cells of operation, using narrow beam antenna's both horizontal and verticle polarity and many many AP units. (For just one site) The big hangup on 802.11b is that there are 11 channels but only 3 of those channels do NOT overlap. So you have to be carefull how set it up.
Actually they would hear us, granted even though the earth is a big pollutant of radio, tv. Those signals once they've traveled to even the nearest stars with plants, even the biggest Radio Shack antenna isn't going to be usefull, even if we used the same type of gathering methods here, we would not pick it up. However, we would pick singals from the military, mainly radar. NORAD's multiple radar installations give out enough narrow beam radio to be picked up as far as 50 light years away. Granted there are no messages, but could be easly be detected as not natural.

Your allowed more for bridging. Including power output, can output up to 2 watts for a bridge, but only 100 mw for AP units.
