National amateur telescope?

I had a think, and wondered what is stopping all interested parties of amateur astronomers like us raising the funds to buy a real kick arse telescope and locate it at a real kick arse location?

I'm thinking of something like this?...

It could also be hooked up for remote axis through the net, and subscribed users could book in advance, and even pay a nominal fee to use the scope online, or in person.

It would also make a great focal piece (pun) for astronomy camps.

Its all possible, and would be well worth the expense wouldn't it?
