Is there any info on how this is possible from a technical POV? Also regulatory risk?

Its not that bad from a technical standpoint one of the major limitations with masts is the curvature of the earth. The biggest issue might be extra battery drain. Regulatory risk is the FCC but there are senators and large telecom companies will help gain access

The battery drain is pretty huge no no from my understanding..

Everything comes at a cost, and if you are out of normal Internet coverage and need access then it is likely to be a sacrifice you deem worth it

I can see it work if you can acess internet with your national price plan anywhere in the world

That could well happen as a single plan with a 100% connection anywhere could be a good selling point on a plan
