The best case transmission speed is 6 MBps, in most cases you'll get a
fraction of that. Also, unless you wire the cells with copper or fiber,
you have to route remote traffic through your cell. It's very useful to
provide public access to your DSL, though.
It's largely a connectivity cloud and routing matrix for urban areas,
particularly once successor technologies (55 MBps and up) will come
online.
