For Sure. I know I would switch in a hearbeat, if there was an equivalent service that costs equal or less.

And just imagine the possibilities. once you can get your ISP internet anywhere, you won't even need a data plan on your phone anymore (just hook it up to your ISP). In this case i would be willing to pay a bit extra for that.

It will not cost equal. It will be far more. Shotwell has hinted at this recently.

The steaklink receiver is not small (about the size of a pizza), last I heard it's similar to a satellite television dish. You won't be getting this on your phone.
