It is my understanding that there are (or at least have been, and I know
of no reason for this to have changed) some apartment buildings, et
cetera, in which there is a provision of the tenancy agreement (or
whatever else applies) requiring that Internet service be exclusively
through the provider chosen by the management of the apartment building.

(The question of motivations for doing this, on the part of both the
management and the provider, I leave un-discussed for at least the time
being.)

If that is correct, and if Pocket resides in such an environment, then
it is possible that even if wireless "high-speed" Internet access could
in a technical sense work in that area it might be prohibited in a
contractual sense.
