AnandTech.com and would love to see if it is plausible.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Ok, here is the deal. I have a freind that lives
about 5.7 miles away from me and almost has a line of sight. He would probably
have to put an antenae on his house to get a line of sight to mine. At my house,
I have no options for high speed internet access, at all, but at his house, he
can get cable. I got to thinking, and I came up with an idea. What if I could
get ahold of some wireless networking equipment that I could use to network to
his house, then he could get cable, we could split the monthly bill, and I would
have cable access at my house.<BR><BR>Here is my question: What equipment could
I use to do this? I found some stuff on cisco's site, but it costs about $8000.
The speed does not have to be supper fast, but I would like to have something at
least the speed of ISDN.<BR><BR>I want to know what other people have to say
abhout this, so shoot. "</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this plausible. Is there any technology
out there that uses public spectrum over a 6 mile distance
?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
