I looked into this a few years ago when I was entertaining the idea of bringing better-than-dsl speeds to a rural town. Here is what I learned:

Getting high speed internet to a rural location is a mix of cool tech, line-of-site, politics, roof rights, friendly farmers, and chasing whoever controls the nearest fiber. Oh, and $$$$$ MONEY $$$$$

Routers and network:

  - http://ubnt.com 
  - http://mikrotik.com 

Both sites have user forums that discuss not only the hardware but also all of the above.

line-of-sight between what and what? can't internet be accessed through satellites? how much money may i expect to offer to the project?

based on your questions, I recommend you hire a professional to implement your project. As for money, how can you ask that question if the goals, location and scope of your project have not been defined?

"I want to build a WISP covering an entire multi-county area in Montana with 200Mbps+ last mile services"

or

"I want to build a single point to point link with $95 ubnt radios 3km to service an island"

totally different things.
