My idea was similar -- a box containing a transceiver and wireless link with an antenna on top. All you would need to provide is power (could be solar) and wireless signal (could be 3G). The box could be placed on the roof of your house, a nearby tall building, or a mountain peak. Think terrestrial satellite.
