I forwarded the initial message in this thread to a Bahamian friend, and he suggested folks might look into this neighborhood wireless solution by motorola:

www.motorola.com/canopy

range is either up to 2 miles or up to 10 miles depending on setup.

You might want to ask around at the neighbors and see what the interest

worth the cost of setting up your own Community Access Point.

And if there was a nearby school, you might be able to get them involved

Jeremy,

We had actually looked at that last year, but because of the location, the T1 charges were a bit high. Add to that the relatively sparse population up there, and it was hard to justify.
