That could be a historical concept, depending exactly on where you live. Some of
us mericans who formerly had no access to real broadband except via
prohibitively
expensive, high latency satellite dish now have broadband provided wirelessly.
All
the big cablecos have been slowly rolling it out. The areas covered are limited,
with limited overlap among providers. The targets so far have been mostly areas
unserved by traditional cable, but there is overlap. Maybe you should check with
T-Mobile:

It is my understanding that there are (or at least have been, and I know
of no reason for this to have changed) some apartment buildings, et
cetera, in which there is a provision of the tenancy agreement (or
whatever else applies) requiring that Internet service be exclusively
through the provider chosen by the management of the apartment building.
(The question of motivations for doing this, on the part of both the
management and the provider, I leave un-discussed for at least the time
being.)
If that is correct, and if Pocket resides in such an environment, then
it is possible that even if wireless "high-speed" Internet access could
in a technical sense work in that area it might be prohibited in a
contractual sense.
You are exactly correct
wireless "high-speed" Internet access is prohibited as stated in the
agreement (made in the year 1995)between city council and time warner
who was bought out by charter/spectrum
This is the way
