I'm using Xtratyme wireless in Minnesota. Their strategy is to partner with local businesses (mosty farm co-ops and grain elevators) to provide service. For the most part, their access points are located on grain elevators and water towers in small towns.
Here is a coverage map. I'm paying $39.99 a month, I'm allowed to run servers (if I'm respectful of bandwidth), and I'm getting a/29 network routed to me.
Damnit. They're [mostly] not telephone poles!
The telephone stuff if buried.
I hate it when people look up and say "wow, those are some big telephone wires" when in reality it's a 69kV distribution line...
I believe that only the risers are shielded
(bundles of 25 pairs). So if a bunch of people are doing this, and they happen to be in the same bundle, then there may be issues.

Just blank little boxes for me.....
