I'm not sure I can agree with you unless you specify the distance
between the fixed points and whether you can rig masts for additional
range due to LOS issues.
If you have LOS, then point to point wireless communications is much
less expensive, both in the short run (setup costs) and long run
(maintenance costs). If you're looking at distances of several hundred
miles and can use solar/battery powered relays, then you're still going
to be less expensive over running cable between the two fixed points.
