Technology, Applied

There are several zip-code-sized cell-dead areas in my city. I drive through one or two of them every day. Apparently it's a huge technical challenge for my cell company to cover the city properly.
 
Oddly, and much to my wonderment, I just read that Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in one of the remotest areas of the world, now gets a signal, all the way to the top.
 
Anything seem funny about that?
