Re: I Live in the middle of a "no broadband" Islan
If you have a direct line of sight with a house/apartment that can get DSL, wireless signals do travel through windows. Knock on a few doors... say "I'll pay for your Internet access if you allow me to shoot it wirelessly to my place."
Do a Hijack. I did and I'm loving every minute of it. ...as long as it's not against the user agreement for the DSL provider.
Have a meeting with some of the other tenants and set up a wireless mesh network.
Some times you gotta stand up and cut the red tape out of your way.
