I was sorta playing "whatif" games, about the 10kms, as was the guy who
first proposed the scenario.

I still think we are seeing the beginning of an "explosion" of commercial
wireless that is probably going to end up with every Starbux, MacDonalds,
Hungry-Jacks, whatever forming (exclusive) aliances with different wireless
ISPs, resulting in wireless, wireless, everywhere, but nowhere you can link
(appologies to the Ancient Mariner).
