Heheh, and you can have some fun doing it!  I was once going to give my 
neighbours a direct cat5 connection <vbg>

At the other end though...  At least one company went bust in 
Christchurch trying to do a radio network on the cheap, Walker Wireless 
took over the mess and dumped all the gear (I think they run with Wave 
Wireless from Lucent).  Radionet also use Lucent gear here which is 
adequate, mind you, they have their problems too.
