Nope. 350 gigabyte in a month is an average of 1 megabit/s over the
entire month.

How many 10 megabit/s (actual traffic) users can there be per cell at the
same time? 5? 10? How many people in your area share the cell? This just
won't work in the long run considering the cost of the base stations.
In order for this to scale, the bases much become much smaller and cheaper
and serve fewer people, and then we're down to Wifi APs that we already
have, but they still need fiber/CAT6 to them.
