Sorry, it appears the Great Lakes Cruiser September 2003 link in the first post was 'lost in translation' at some point after 06.

It's very neat to have fast broadband Island-wide in the middle of Lake Michigan, and it's been much more robust and reliable than I had hoped even when any local low-latency broadband was thought to be on the horizon some years ago.
