You could cut that T1 expense by quite a bit using long-haul wifi.

Or by starting his own phone company! He could also save on the rent by just overthrowing the government and giving the house he lives in to himself. Why didn't I think of this before!?

Don't think my landlord would approve - he lives 400ft away. On the upside, I ran a buried ethernet cable down to his house, so he helps pay for the T1.

Looked into that before getting the T1 - mountains make it difficult to get direct line-of-sight to almost anything, and I'm surrounded by national park, so it's difficult to build towers to relay a signal. Video is a big part of my business, so having a dedicated upload pipe is also useful.

Check out valemount networks, they specialize in that sort of thing.
