It is wireless internet that is sent using microwaves.  All I know, and I am 
THE most cyber-challenged person in the world, is that there is a tower on 
the hill at the end of the valley that the guy who owns The Dairy Store put 
up and you can get internet service for $30/mo.  It costs $99 to have him 
come out and install the antenae on your house and do whatever the heck he 
has to do for your computer to talk to it.

I've heard that the Coast Guard uses it but that's about all I know.

The guy up the hill from us came down and asked if he could cut a couple of 
limbs off one of our oak trees so he could "get a sight line" to the tower." 
We said sure and then saw him a couple of months later and he just raved and 
must have thanked me about a dozen times.

So, that's on my doable wishlist.
