It's the spring of 2001 and I'm the proud owner of a 128Kbit ISDN Internet connection at a cost of $300/month. I learn that in the nearest town I could buy an SDSL connection for around $1/kbit, or less than half my present cost. Or double my current speed for the same price. Around this time the first IEEE802.11b is on the market and I hear from a friend that it can be used over long distances to deliver connectivity. I remember Bob Cringley was posting about how easy if was to build your own long range wireless connection.
So I began to wonder what it would take to build my own wireless network to span the 10 mile distance to town (and deal with the small matter of the medium sized mountain in the way too).
