The cell network is radically different from the internet. 1. You need a SIM card to connect to the cell network. There is no cell-network equivalent of "free wifi". 2. If you have a (paid) internet connection you can net anyone connect to it with their own hardware. You can't share a cell network connection that way. 3. The internet is packet-switched. The cell network is (mostly) connection-based. 4. The cell network lacks broadcast and multicast protocols. 5. Cell network connections are always peer-to-peer. You can't have a "server" on the cell network. The concept doesn't even make sense. I could go on and on.
