That's what I'm going to go for. I was just hoping for something else
to do in the interim, like tweaking RTS/CTS values or something.

Wind resistance should be fairly easy to deal with. Just more radios,
closer together, with smaller antennas :-).

MT radios with the squelch function.
BIG antennas and JUST enough TX power to get your system 10 to 15 dB over
the noise levels.
Cross polarize as much as you can.
Move one end? Even if you have to make two or three hops, but pointing into
a new direction might help.

With the things that are coming, I'm starting to wounder just how the
bandwidth/pricing model is going to have to change.
This is likely not a big deal for you urban guys, but out here in the
rural areas, bandwidth ain't cheap.
A T1, 1.54Mb/s, costs me $700/month.
On my fiber, 1Mb/s costs me
I've got the same issues here. I'm getting rid of my expensive T1's
and bringing in bandwidth from 30 miles away. If the usages keeps
growing, I'll employ one of the options you mention below.

Do you think you could do the same thing from Chicago or Detroit? You
should be able to get something in the $30~50/Mb range, maybe better if
you can shoot off of a carrier hotel roof or something.

1 meg is $200. How much is 5, 10, 50, 100? Depending on the provider you
could see a sharp drop in the pricing.
Either rates will have to go up, your customers will just be unhappy with
available options, or you'll have to go big. MANY industries have adopted the
catch phrase, Go big or go
I think it comes down to not allowing that 5% of customers that are
going to do the video streaming / movie watching / etc. over the
internet to use your network. There is another 95% of people that just
want to email and surf. Those are the customers you want. Send the
others to cable or your

Instead of turning the customers down you could explain to them you're
losing money and up their rates. If they won't work with you then
explain you can't do business with them. You'll find people are more
willing to work with you then you might expect.

I am certain you can do much better than that.
And you don't even have to be in Chicago or Detroit.

There's certainly much cheaper bandwidth in those cities, but unless you're
1, maybe 2 fiber hops away and are buying 50 megs+, it isn't worth it. The
number of Wireless hops vary.
Once you hit say 100 megs or 150 megs, it's a different ball game.

Take GigE on fiber from them. Then use whatever microwave you can get to
haul it to wherever you need to go.
There is a huge price break when you go 100 mbps burstable on a GigE.
You can wholesale enough on your way out of town to pay for the whole thing.
But you must meet the tier 1/2 provider

Recently, I learned that American Fiber Systems has InterCity Fiber
Ring that connects Las Vegas, Reno/Carson City, Boise and Salt Lake on
a fully redundant OC-192 capacity backbone.
They aren't cheap on the low end at $2000/month for 5 meg burstable to
