Current wireless technologies have no problem with the rural aspect, just the hills and foliage. Get on a tall enough tower in a remote enough area, you can have quite a range on your wireless coverage. I'm not sure of the cost of a cell tower setup, but the cost outfitting a tower for WISP use on 3 bands is under $10k. --Mike
Currently, the cost of a typical cellular Node-B is around 10k in sterling. Plus you have various infrastructure elements that don't exist in 802.world, RNCs, BSCs, and softswitches. And they cost serious money. Whereas the 802 technologies are natively IP and Ethernet, and the "business layer" stuff is basically the AAA and Diameter kit you already have.
