Wifi Distance Record!

I read this story in Engadget and cnet this morning. Ermanno Pietrosemoli has managed to send a wifi signal 382 Kilometers! Wow! Pietrosemoli was able to achieve 3 megabits up and down using technology from Intel and some off the shelf parts. There is an interview with Pietrosemoli here. He could be the ultimate Bill!
