This same model, i.e. a 3G or 4G connection shared in a local WiFi,
is what IMO would also make sense for rural communities which are
currently unserved by broadband. Even if it means erecting a tower
up on a hill nearby to get that 3G/4G service.
Even WITHOUT a broadband connection, adding WiFi to a car makes great
sense, ESPECIALLY if the vehicle can have enough local cache to act
as a server. When you pull into your driveway the car can connect to
the home's broadband connection and servers. It would be trivially
easy to moved cached content to the vehicle where it could be
consumed on demand by phones, tablets, or screens connected directly
to the server.
AND, if we moved to a true data broadcast system, the vehicle to be
programmed to capture desired content into the local cache.
The addition of a 4G broadband connection would be useful, but could
be an option.
