National Broadband Plan: Discussion

I will give a very practical example from my constituency, where there is an older person who has no interest in connecting to the fibre network. This person is on the fibre network and a commercial business that requires broadband is within 400 m of him or her, by line of sight. It is technically possible to put a point-to-point connection from the back door of that older person's house to the front door of the commercial premises. Is it possible for that older person to buy a 500 Mbps contract with Eir or some other provider and then provide a wireless connection to his or her premises?
