Right now, HAMs in the US can run personal/private GSM as long as they do it in that little overlapping part of 900mhz band that euro GSM shares with an amateur band...

Do I understand that one could also run a personal/private LTE in this 5.8ghz band ?

Pretty sure the answer is no, because all the signalling to negotiate the use of LTE-U happens over licensed LTE frequencies - so unless you're a ham that happens to be able to transmit in one of those bands, no dice.
