Most of the Navajo population is concentrated in communities of various sizes and the land is very vast. If you can get it from town to town (and I've run some long distance wireless in similar terrain, it's not not really that difficult), you could easily have the "population centers" under a cloud within a year, theoretically, but the hard part would be keeping the perceived difficulty, the lack of local contractors and the idea of federal money (rules) from keeping the price from going through the roof.

@yawnster: If you can manage to cover 27,000 square miles with a "couple of repeaters" then I urge you to get into metro wifi immediately. You'll make a killing!
