Re: Won't do any good in the Hills of WV.

100-miles at 10 GHz isn't realistic. The practical limit at 10 GHz is on the order of 12-miles, even if you use 8' diameter parabolic high-gain antennas at each end. The problem is attenuation when moisture or rainfall is present. See this thread for a more detailed explanation (»Back to technical reality...).

Yes I agree in some geographical regions it is like that.
However out here in the rocky mountain front range area it is always very arid and with 14K ft. mountains to have one end is always a plus. The rocky mountain microwave group has made contacts on 10Ghz beyond 100mi. The point being that the 5Ghz band is doable in most areas as long as they have line of site to the providers antenna. Yes reflections would present problems in some installations, but it would be the provider who would make sure this is corrected in any installation. So it would be very expensive to the provider to customize each and every installation. They would have to do a survey of each potential customer site and then go from there. Similar to DTV
