   MVNO = Mobile Virtual Network Operator, a reseller that uses someone   
   else's network. Mint uses T-Mobile so there's no point in using one to   
   back up the other.

   No ISP will let you take a /29 with you. The smallest chunk that can   
   be routed separately is /24. Even if you have your own IPs, no mobile   
   carrier I know of will let you use your own addresses.   
      
   WISPs that provide fixed wireless are different from mobile carriers,   
   different technology, different business model.  If there's one in   
   your area, call them up and see what they offer.
