Although global connectivity is one of the main requirements for futuregenerations of wireless networks driven by the United Nation's SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs), telecommunication (telecom) providers areeconomically discouraged from investing in sparsely populated areas, such asrural and remote ones. Novel affordable and sustainable paradigms are thusindispensable to enhance the cellular infrastructure in such areas and bridgethe digital divide when compared with urban ones. We investigate the use ofwind turbine-mounted base stations (WTBSs) as a cost-effective solution forregions with high wind energy potential, since it could replace or evenoutperform current solutions requiring additional cell towers (CTs),satellites, or aerial base stations (ABSs). Indeed, conveniently installingbase station (BS) equipment on wind generators would allow the transceivers toreach sufficient altitudes and easily establish line-of-sight (LoS) channelswithin large areas. We also propose insightful simulation results for realisticcase studies based on data sets for wind speed and population densities as wellas wind turbines' (WTs') and CTs' locations within specific French, Argentine,and Ethiopian exurban regions. By doing this, we hope to prove the feasibilityand the effectiveness of this solution and stimulate its implementation.
