Since not everyone can see the Hilton or the Silver Legacy, I'd be
interested in suggestions for other locations we could use. A current
possibility is the Sierra Pacific building near Meadowood Mall, but I
realize that may not work too well for South Meadows. The idea
location will itself have line of sight visibility to the Hilton or
Legacy. Suggestions?

I've never had the need to.
The problem with DSL in Sparks isn't the ISPs, it's the telcos. In my
area, I'm far enough from the CO (~14k') that I'll be lucky to get a
128K downstream connection on a typical DSL line--and forget about the
3-6Mbps service they're advertising.
Heck, if I could get even 256K upstream from someone else, I'd have
ditched Charter a long time ago. I took a look at Clearwire recently,
but found that:
1. Their rates are about the same as Charter, for half the speed.
2. Their TOS isn't any better than Charter's.
Both GBIS and Pyramid need to buy their local loops from the telcos, so
once again the small fry are at the mercy of the monopolies. *sigh*
