I was curious about the same thing not so long ago, and after doing some
poking around (talking to some people familiar with cellular technology)
the only obstacle to modem communications that they could come up with was
the slight break in transmission when switching from one transciever to
another (i.e. changing from one ``cell'' to another).  This, of course,
implies moving around, if the cellular phone was stationary, it would
avoid this problem.
