Not sure why not.  Have you had a look at the M5?  Sure you might want 
someone like me to sort out configuring them for you, but really, stuff 
just bolts to the side of the roof as long as you have clear line of site.

This is stuff that all you guys out there should know about and be 
playing with.

Farmers in Nelson are now running their own fibre over those distances 
cause the stuff really isn't complex and no one from town wants to drive 
out to fix your stuff.

You could wait for RRB funding to sort it self out, but that's going to 
give you a really crap 5mbit service, were as this stuff does 100mbit 
(give or take some over head).

Feel free to drop me more details off list.

Happy to just get 1's & 0's pumping.
