I question this approach, UNLESS this network is going to be 2-way. And if it is going to be 2-way, I ask, why would the cellcos be willing to allow access from their phones?

they are the customers phones - the telcos only provide the wireless bandwidth, and will finance the phone in return for a long term contract.

What happens if Apple, Google (Motorola), or Microsoft finance the devices, which have programmable SIMs that allow you to buy bits from any carrier?
