Here in Australia, and I believe in the U.S. too, it is permissable
to use point-to-point microwave systems.  For example, one large bank
in Sydney connects its down-town site to a back-up site 10kms away
using a 34 Mbit/s microwave system.  Companies like NEC make to systems,
and I see no reason why you couldn't connect two remote LAN bridges
using this technique.  Of course the systems aren't cheap.
