This product is designed as a fixed broadband solution delivered wirelessly. It’s available to about 30 million households in the United States.
What makes this interesting is that it is designed to replace existing cable data solutions - which typically have an order of magnitude more data transfer than mobile. The price point is hyper competitive - and usually cheaper than cable (I pay $75/mo for Charter/Spectrum and they give me 100mbit down/12mbit up). In other words, for 30 million households, they now have options other than their cable company or DSL.
Even at my home, my phone often gets more than 100mbit over LTE (I just used Speedtest and got 147/52), but that traffic may get throttled when I go over 75gb/mo and tethering almost certainly will.
