If you don't own the signalling layer or even rights of way you're pretty much limited to the wireless bandwidth in the cell, and pure line-of-sight (plus severe weather influence) for high-bandwidth connections. You can use DTN tricks with physical layer delivery, but it's more like Usenet/uucp with days-long propagation times for posts. You want to annoy the right kind of people, you launch a microsat constellation with global reach. You can't really jam a phased array tracking a tiny fast bird overhead.
