    What part of the country are you moving to?
    I've thought about this myself here and you can make a start
    by finding what's your closest town with a form of access.
    Doing a deal to get some of that out to your base station
    is the second next step.
    (The next step is finding out if you have a market,
    and who you can share costs with)

    Wireless point to point links with at least 10k range are available for an equipment cost of about 800 euro for both ends.
    A license for this kind of link is meant to be about a tenner.

    You could try it in unlicensed spectrum,
    but your clients won't thank you if your link is sporadic!

    A WISP HOWTO for IOFFL would be a great thing to put together.

    it all depends on where you are.
    however you can get two way satellite everywhere - if you can afford it and have can throttle downstream connections.

    another option is to get one way satellite and use the 180 hour dial up as the back end.
