Obviously you can operate at a mile if you up the wattage, but then that's illegal, and if it weren't, there would be pirates, jammers, who knows what else. If you're just talking about the occasional mile span to cross a river or something, I think you might be able to span it with one of those green laser pens, suitably modulated to carry everyone's conversations. It would have to be kept precisely aimed, there'd need to be a low frequency filter to filter out vibrations, there must be line of site, and creating a man in the middle attack would be just a matter of intercepting and retransmitting the green light.
