well let's start a DILUGnet! the 802.11 wireless stuff can go up to 10km
with the right aerials. And if you can get someone to sponsor an internet
gateway, then you have your (sorta) nice bandwidth, (ie 1Mb/s peak).

we just need a string of people each within a couple of thousand feet of the
next, and willing to spend ~£600 each on a card and large aerial!! 

:)
