Yes, but it isn't practical or effective. You would be re-inventing 802.11 very poorly.
1) You could use the given technique to create the MOdulation side of a modem[1]. You would have to solve the receiver and DEModulation side. Not likely to be do-able with a bare Raspberry Pi so you will end up adding a receiver and probably a demodulator (software demodulation is theoretically within the grasp of a Raspberry Pi).

2) Your data rate would be dependent on how well you implement your modem. Assuming you limit yourself to audio range frequency modulation (i.e. 10-3000Hz), you will have a hard time exceeding 300 baud using frequency shift keying (e.g. modulate with two tones, one indicating '0' and the other indicating '1'). If you use phase shift keying, you may achieve 2400 baud, but (a) I really doubt that a Raspberry Pi can do phase shift keying, (b) demodulating PSK is much more difficult that frequency shifting, and (c) in my limited experience, attempting phase shift modulation on top of a FM carrier doesn't work for crap (FM can be viewed as a type of phase shift modulation, so you end up phase shift modulating a phase shift modulator which doesn't demodulate + demodulate reliably into your baseband signal).

Higher data rates over phone lines encode multiple bits per baud (signaling unit), making the encoding and decoding tasks go through the roof if done in software. Getting to e.g. 56Kbaud of the end-of-the-road phone modem is impossible - 56Kbaud only worked when the phone company digitized the phone audio, and rather iffy even then.

- viraptor 14y agoThis is something I've been wondering about after seeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P17LPYnAAg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P17LPYnAAg - they seem to be able to use a signal relay that works on a long range with both the control and video channels. So it's possible with some equipment, but not sure if it's custom built or off the shelf.
- scoot 14y agoIt's already possible[1], but legislation varies by country. Line-of-sight, 50m from buildings and people (other than the operator and those under the operators control) and a 150m height limit are common to reduce the risk to commercial aviation, and of property damage or injury.
