Pfft! Good luck.

The people who control access to the Mt. Lofty towers are tight-ass
bastards who give space to nobody. Just talk to Simon Hackett :-)

I thought about it once. I'd really like a Microwave link between my
bedroom and the server room, but it'd have to be bounced off the Mt.
Lofty towers. 

That costs heaps. I'm not prepared to pay for it for my home. Anyway,
not having broadband at home gives me one less excuse to get out and
go for a bicycle ride :-)

The long and the short of it? You gotta have a full-to-overflowing
wallet before they'll even think about it.

Sad, eh?
