I don't think it's worth it. Small-package customers won't pay enough for a cellular backup (considering the costs if some of them do 5-20GB of Netflix over the weekend). For larger package customers it's usually cheaper for you to install a redundant link to a second tower or even pay a competitor for backup service instead of going cellular.
