What's wrong with aviationweather.gov? That's what I use on my cell
phone and I've never had a problem. Maybe you're using a 1980's cell
phone?

In the air, you are not supposed to use a cell phone, though.

Could someone set up a WiFi type of system, and get fellow Hams to make a
network of internet enabled ham band links?

That would be pretty cool, even it was just in your local area. To do it on
a wide scale would be a pretty large task, and no doubt, someone would want
to get their regulations on it.
