Wireless Internet from the top of the Empire State Building

Either it's some sort of mind-control experiment or they're really serious about wireless Internet, but TowerStream says they're going to put a giant tower on top of the Empire State Building so they can cover Manhattan with wireless broadband (insert obvious King Kong reference here). They say they're using WiMax (which is like a long-distance version of WiFi), or at least what will pass for WiMax when the actual standard gets ratified next year and people start making equipment for it.
