I have a cousin who's moving from town back out to the boonies -- the real boonies, where the phone lines don't reach.

He's also bright enough that he could read the amateur radio operator training material one night and pass his exam the next, then get onto a packet network -- but he'll be wanting to run a business, which is strictly against the provisions of the license.

How many km should the link be ?
