Isn't this how some broadband services are distributed in the British
Isles, Finalnd and the Netherlands? How has it worked there? Keith
Willshaw reported that ham ops do not seem to have been adversely
affected. Are they using the same frequency régime?

There was an article in IT Week back in August about the UK
trials. They are being carried out in a number of locations including
Crieff and Campbeltown in the north of Scotland and Winchester
in Southern England. A spokesman was quoted as saying

"We have worked with the Radiocommunications Agency and have had
no reports of interference during the trials in Scotland, as we comply with
all current interference legislation."

They report that while there were some early problems with
radiated RF these have been overcome. They are offering a 1 mb service
for £30 per month which is quite competitve with ADSL.
