yes, particularly where you can install a base station/central hub in an area and get data from your things for "free"... Much less costly over a 10 year timespan than putting a SIM card in a SCADA device with quad band cellular modem, which will probably be at minimum $10/mo per active SIM in bulk (from a T-Mobile MVNO reseller) plus data billed by usage, figure another $4 to $5 per month for a tiny amount of data.
