HEHE that wud be kewl what I want is to get funding for our wireless link throughout the entire Caribbean, I'm talking from MIA down to the lesser Antilles, we did a mapping of it a few years back and it is possible using some PtP ATM 5.8 radios doing about. We did a 600 mile set of links in euro once and its 14ms from side to side :)

How about Los Rocos?  I'd be surprised but we take business partners
there at least 2-3 times a year... talk about bragging..  Show VP of
Halliburton or Hanover that we are still connected on an island you with
a runway that is the beach..  and has no phone service :)...
