I live in a small town of about 7000 called Blackwell, Oklahoma. We did this 2 years ago. My dad, his friend and computer technician and myself set up a wireless link to Ponca, a city in which Mike hosted his websites and such. This link pointed to Blackwell, a town about 12 miles away straight point-to-point. This then shot over to my house, about 2 miles out of Blackwell. This was a great thing. I still use it.
Then we have this lame company called "Get Real Cable" whose headquarters is in a community thrift shop and it looks like they have the Very Large Array of satellites in their back yard. They have cable internet service. But seriously, there are a lot of people out there without high speed internet. High speed internet is great.
