I belive that there's already an ADSL line in every bus stop, or at least
the illuminated sign ones. Carrying a handfull of characters per minute.
Bet Brighton and Hove Bus didn't pay for them, bet the council did. Maybe
they could let us (I'm with Dave in PierToPier group) or SCIP put access
points on them, I could do it for 9 times the market rate or a few pints +
hardware whichever is cheaper.
