LoRa's much lower energy, maybe? I can see cell networks if it's plugged in. Or maybe cell radios are cheap enough that you could put one in and fire it up once a day to squirt out data on how to better sell your kids sugary cereals...
LoRaWAN on the Helium network could be a lot cheaper than a cell network, but coverage is spotty.
