Divide cost of carrier licence by amount of interested users who see it as 
a necessity.

Ask them if they would all mind paying that much, plus bandwidth, etc etc.
Now, if all those people who want wireless internet for all dont want to 
pony up the cash for a carriers licence, thats a pretty reasonably "No, 
Sorry", imho anyway.

and if a carrier licence isnt needed, and somebody wants to set up a 
wireless-internet bridge with some method of public access themselves, 
whose to say no?

Are there any legal problems with a single person 
PPTP/VPN/PPPOwhatever'ing into their home lan, to use their own private 
internet connection? I'm guessing not. Thats how i'd see most people who 
want/need to access the internet doing it.
