Thanks for the pointer, I am reading up right now.
I still don't think it's viable, after you spend the $10k and other install costs, plus rental of roof space and the actual pipe to the internet it's going to take 3 or 4 years for the savings to kick in (compared to $500/mo for the carrier provided T1). By then there could be DSL or another technology available to him locally at a much cheaper price.
Don't forget increasing RF congestion and legislation changes also. There's no guarantee that the link would still work reliably in 4 years time.
