I don't have to own a car to walk down a road or highway, but I have to
pay for commercial service to use a cell phone (except for 911).
I respect your point of view, but think it's a bit of a stretch to
classify cellular as an "essential service" that trumps local control. 
That's a slippery slope that could lead to government mandated
"affordable cellular" and cellular easements on private property.
Shall we classify broadband Internet as an essential service while we're
at it?  ;)
