I think you are confusing two very different things.  The RF modems I know
about -- admittedly it's an area I don't know a lot about -- are for use
over coaxial cable and the like.  RF does not imply radio.  Radio modems
do exist, but the radio spectrum is a scarce resource and I don't know of
any general-use band that would be available for such a purpose.  (Before
you ask, use of the amateur-radio bands for commercial purposes is strictly
forbidden.)
