So the wireless hotspot feeds the cafe, the block, the neighborhood. How do you get the bandwidth to the hotspot? Point-to-point 802.16a standard has been devised for high bandwidth and high numbers of users.

This has been my puzzle since I started devising this free wireless idea. Closest fiber is 4 long blocks away, tens of thousands of dollars in fees to bring the cable over to the community building. Thanks to Sam Churchill as usual for giving me links to a new solution.
