I think this is a good place to start looking.
http://www.freenetworks.org/

You can start a local community effort with an embedded Power Over
Ethernet (POE) system in a weather proof box which fits on roofs or
balconies, gets its power from your PC Ethernet port, and does peer
sharing back to friendly wired unlimited access node(s). Sometimes
these are local businesses letting you in after hours.

Have fun.
