I have young friends that live in a far remote community in northern Ontario (Canada for those geographically challenged)that would be beyond thrilled if WiMax actually worked and they were able to get internet access at home rather than huddling over 1 public computer at the public school that has internet access, which receives it via satellite. Would WiMax one day be the solution for them? Is it now? If it is, how can we implement it?
This is some great advice, exactly the type of stuff I was looking for. THANKS!
I will try two or three set ups before getting it right. Hopefully one will work!

For those of you that are still asking why!
I have always read really smart replies on most of the interesting stuff; I guess today I am stuck with a bunch of monkeys and a few great people. Anyhow, 7G maximum budget, I know I can do it for like 500, but that is not the point, if I said I have 7G I was thinking someone here would say, you should get this:
Cn300r colubris access point
or
Enterasys RoamAbout AP3000 which supports multiple radio cards.
I was trying to get some high end solutions, of course anyone can go to their local electronic shop and get over the counter crap!
I have looked at potentially getting something like this to test around:
H300-2000 Hawking Technology - WU250 - 11Mbps 802.11b USB Adapter
T156-1072 TRENDnet - 11/22Mbps Wireless Broadband Router
T156-1018 TRENDnet 6 DBI Wireless Directional Indoor Antenna
Also, I am thinking of supplying everyone with cards! Yes, for free, but they remain in the building. Legalities, I have thought of it, my brother who is a lawyer has drafted an agreement between me and the user. Might save me, might not.
It is odd, how a nice gesture now days can get flame beyond recognition just because everyone is so used to being selfish!
I have recieved some nice posts, thanks. greatly appreciated.
By the way... I am not broke, so really, 7G is not a whole lot of money. The people in the building also are prety well off, we are like a community, I guess... The landlord is a really hot chick too, maybe I can get her to help me install my access points!
I really didnt want to talk abuout this since some cryingpants above made a big deal out of it. She was worth close to 35Million. I got that money because I attended the funeral, everyone that attended got at least 7g. She is the one that bought me my first computer and I know she would love it if spent it in technology and everyone can enjoy something that she has left behind as part of her legacy.
Anyhow, I know that I dont have to use the whole 7G but if I can buy everything top of the line and make sure it is as zero fault tolerance as it can be, I will be happy.
If this offends you, sure, cry, but dont post.
I don't need to use to pay bills or buy a house, thanks for the idea, I want to build something in memory of her and more importantly in memory of what I will remember her for. She introduced me to technology!
I could not possible agree more with you!
All prisons!!
They have so much spare time that they must commit crime inside the prisons to maintain themselves occupied.
