OK Matt, being a creative person, you can then suggest the use of DSL
for the backhaul...

How do you raise the antennas above the trees without building really
tall poles? Trees around here are 60-70ft.
City-owned fiber only exists in places with enough density that there
aren't any trees to begin with. Residential areas generally have lots of
trees and no reason for fiber runs.
900Mhz won't get you much throughput; certainly not enough to offer an
alternative to DSL.

Then the 5 GHz backhaul network must have antennas that are raised
above the trees. Another option is to backhaul with city-owned fiber.
Backhauling on 900 MHz is a possible third option. All it takes is rf
knowledge, creativity, and cooperation.

A multi-band mesh node does the backhaul on 5 GHz (sometimes with
more than one 5 GHz radio). This reduces (but certainly doesn't
eliminate) the 2.4 GHz self-interference and
other-network-interference level.
You can't use 5 Ghz to go through trees here in Atlanta, so that
won't help you. Multi-band mesh nodes simple don't work here.
