ok, fair enough :)

the local folk have been pimping the idea that: "hey, just run a
4g/lte/g5 cell service inside your building/business, backhaul over
cable-modem/etc and jam on..."
of course there's 'someone' who sells the cellular + backhaul kit,
this is only workable on <700mhz?> frequencies (maybe 'band 3' ?? or
something) and so far hasn't really taken off as near as I can tell.

again, it SOUNDS like an interesting business model... :)
