end users are still going to want their own router/firewall. That's my point, I don't see how you can have that on-prem firewall while having a remote radio that's useful.
I would adamantly oppose anyone I know passing their firewall off to the upstream vendor. I run an MSP and I would offer a customer to drop my services if they were to buy into something like this on the business side. So I really only see this sort of concept for campus networks where the end users are 'part' of the entity.
