ARIN has informed me that they are not changing their interpretation
of wireless not being residential service.  Residential services must
have wires, despite the logical architectures (CMTS = GGSN = BRAS)
and commercial relationships (B2C) being highly similar.  And, the
fact that the majority of wireless services are consumed in the home.
Wireless services (GSM, CDMA, LTE, ...) are treated like enterprise
networks from ARIN policy perspective.
