anon posted : that can be done by using LTE @home stations/modems like Clear. They could also route Voice over LTE/IP and be done with it. the voice on sat could be a back-up especially otherwise there will be a noticeable delay in just using a dish for voice.

anon posted : they don't have to totally use the sat for Internet. They can easily create a LTE network for that just as Clear does using a home base modem.
