Wimax...banda ancha for the hinterland

At the risk of this being of no interest to anyone...

There seem to be advances in broadband for obscure parts of the province. That's good news for the Yanq in that more and more of my time is being spent with the "girls".

My homebase during my ever more frequent visits is 16 clicks from downtown nowhere. No phonelines, no powerlines, no connections except for a cell phone.

I've sketched out planes for various outlandish towers that might be able to connect with a wireless repeater at the nearest available broadband point...but I think my future is with WiMax.
US chip manufacturer Intel, Argentine broadband access solutions provider Ertach and Argentine PC manufacturer BGH have launched a mobile wireless broadband service for rural areas in the Buenos Aires province, the companies said in a statement.
I've been trying to follow the advent of this tech for sometime in addition to what is happening in other remote areas of the world that are aggressively pursuing connectivity.

If anybody is a gurú in this regard, I'd love to hear from you.
