So, 5.8GHz or 2.4GHz or 900MHz, or what? Are the 40s (MHz) still available?

I wonder how this beats the curvature of the earth, or is it being bounced of the ionosphere, or penetrating through the earth?

It is either a lost work of Tesla or a bad version of this Douglas Rushkoff novel...

Amateur, not unlicensed:

While the 40M band beats the curvature of the earth quite reliably, I would expect that they are doing something in the UHF band if they plan on deploying this in licensed cell-phone frequencies.

Also the amateur band lets them transmit at much higher power than the ISM bands:
