   The demand looks to me to be fairly small, unlikely to be more than the
   current cellular systems, or modest upgrades thereof, can handle.  Few
   people actually have much of a need for mobile phone service, barring
   emergencies...

If it becomes available cheap, there will be demand.  Lots.
Remember how it was said (back in the days of Univac) that a dozen computers
would suffice for the computing needs of the whole planet ?
