Infact its not all that different from femto cell base stations. You'll still need a license to transmit on that frequency, and you still need a reliable backhaul to dump the data on.

It's different from the MIMO employed in Wifi or "normal" LTE. They do not create a cell per user, neither does a femto cell base station (it only creates a small cell, not a personal cell).

The other, other thing is that inverse square law still applies. along with propagation loss, and the like.

wireless power is literally a waste.
