I have two 50 mile 45Meg link. Expensive (about 10k per end), but after the initial cost I pay nothing else.
I have a 17 mile backhual link cost less 5k. While there are some ocean fiber concting the a few continents, most T1 links around the world are done by satelite. We have one hop going from Ashland Kentucky to Honolulu via satelite. As far as security goes, anything one puts on the internet is wide open to security problems. It will not matter if it is wireless or hardwired (or fiber). I can actually read your ethernet traffic with a tick tracer, right through the jacket. It takes a whole lot more effort for one to get to a wireless WEP key than it dose to peek in with a sniffer.
