In some areas of the Country back in that era they used Microwave to  transmit
Porno Movies. It was a subscription thing just like Cable.
And Ironicly they are going back. Not strictly for transmitting Porno but
they are trying to set up Laser Internet Service. The advnatage being the  much
higher speed then Dial Up and Even DSL or Modem service.
It of course will be a situation that "IF" you have to ask How Much you  cannot
afford it. Kinda like the Hughes Interent Sat system.
