[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2812842, member: 29706"] 1.5 miles line of sight is nothing for shooting a WiFi connection, and if they have crappy service or dial up you guys could band together and set something up together. 100 feet is pretty up there so you would need a stable tower but once you are above the trees you would also have a point where likely quite a few others would be able to have line of sight as well or you could get internet through one of the local WISP's. If you could get access with a local WISP then negotiate that they can use the tower as a repeater if they provide you with free internet. They get to expand their coverage for a minimal cost if they do and worst thing they can do is say no. If later on they come in and want to do as you suggested just make sure that you get free internet and they pay you each month as well. Not to mention that if you have a 100 foot tower you could use it for anything else you wanted as well, zip line above the trees to the neighbor's place or to the bug out vehicle?:bolt: [/QUOTE]
