Long distance wi-fi

Are there any consumer antennas that would be able to pick up a hotspot about a mile away? Is this possible on a government/commercial scale (huge radio towers, etc)?

[spoiler]Yes[spoiler]

[spoiler]Yes, it is[spoiler]

[spoiler]Yes, it is [spoiler] But you cant afford it. I read an article about it ages ago.

I'm pretty sure you can use HAM radio to broadcast internetz!

Yeah, it's definitely possible. You want a high gain antenna on one end, like a grid dish, Cantenna, or Yagi. Suitable antennas can be purchased for less than $100 USD. Mount it on a tv antenna mast, tree, whatever lets you properly aim it.

Here's a nice phallic looking one

amateur radio's (as that poster referred to them HAM radios) don't do that stuff. 
the antennae can, but you dont need gov't stuff to do that but you need a license.
