There are many routers available already that support a 3G dongle. 7Mb is not an unreasonable connection speed with a good connection.
This would not work. The radio interference would mess up everyone's telephone connections and any broadband connections if the mast is too close.
Certainly you can locate more 4G hotspots on existing towers and also build more towers to close any existing not-spots.
Unfortunately everything costs more money.

Re: Sky will be looking to run trials of fibre-optic broadband
Speed is one thing, download limits are another. With most mobile broadband only offering a couple of GB's per month at best I can't see it replacing landline BB anytime soon. Coverage is another, unless I stand next to the window I can't get any reception at all in my place.
There simply aren't any of those around here at all I think we're all connected directly to the exchange which is only a few streets away. I'm not sure how BT's proposed fibre upgrade to the exchange in 2012 is going to work out TBH...
