If wireless is too expensive or not possible due to the technology/laws,
you might think about renting dark fiber from a non-RBOC type
company.  Also there is companies like Cogent who will sell you a 100Mb
connection for $1000/month.  

In a large metropolitan area like Chicago, you should be able to pay much
less than the monthly cost of a T3.

YMMV.

hey all,

we've got a client that wants some crazy stuff, and i need either
suggestions or confirmation that this is impossible/too expensive.

client needs 45Mbps pushed over 20 miles... and he wants it wireless. the
kicker is that they don't want a T3 because it is "too expensive" and it
would take too long to get installed. it doesn't need to be constant, but he
wants to move of 2.5GB within 45 minutes. this is in the chicago area, if
that helps any. so, i don't know, satellite?
