Seeing that you mentioned Verizon in your second paragraph, I'll say that the $5 rate + $5 in taxes (sarcasm about "unfees " intended) should be available in at least the CA/NV SBC-(stud)-serviced areas.
Heck, isn't FIOS coming to your Verizon-served SoCal neighborhood "Real Soon Now"?
Up here in Sonoma County (60 Mi North of SFO) there are two companies that provide broadband over a VHF or UHF radio link.
One, Broadlink, has a handful of towers that serve the Central part of the County. A point in their favor, is that they primarily transport Sonic.net ISP services.
The other, RDS (IIRC), is aggressively trying to provide service to every corner of the county where the see a decent potential market. They claim that they also have some 900 MHz hardware that can do 768K symetrical twenty miles or more from their tower.
What I need to do, is get rich enough to order me my very own "big dunb pipe" --- A DS3 with an SLA guaranteeing restoral of service in time to be dealt into the very next hand. I have a process I should be able to patent --
"A procedure for autologous recycling of the by-products resulting from the digital cleaning of the passages that serve olfactory sensors."
I dare anyone to provide the "prior artwork" needed to deny issuance!
