My version of this same story goes as follows:
After the COO/head of sales promised the world to a water utility, we walked
out of the meeting and he said to me:" I sure hope you can invent all that
crap we just sold them". I did. Created my own version of X.25/ethernet
mashup to do it.

I don't know about this 50 Mbps no data cap $50/mo using 4G LTE. These guys
are subject to the same laws of physics we are.
Personally I think it's the lesson I got around 25 years ago when I was the
engineering leg of the stool along with the sales and marketing legs,
standing in front of a big customer, and they were saying "we can do that".
As the guy who would have to do that, I knew there was no f'ing way we could
do that.
The lecture I got was promise what the customer wants to hear, then it's
just a game of "managing expectations". Which means gradually backtracking
from all the lies you told. The disgusting thing is that it often works.
You get the customer pregnant and by the time they figure it out, they don't
have other options, plus nobody wants to admit they got snookered.
Another way to put it is having more customers than you can serve is a good
problem to have. Yet another is fake it until you make it. Or call it a
market test, like you couldn't do the math and figure out that you were
lying.

I filled it out -- they said not available.... looks like a bait and switch.
