LTE networks usually operate between 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz, a region of the radiofrequency spectrum that partially overlaps with frequencies reserved for radio astronomy. Having such radio signals coming from the moon could potentially interfere with observations.
Commercial space flight doesn't give a fuck about astronomers, just ask StarLink.

“For permanent deployment we’ll have to pick a different frequency band,” Klein says. “We already have a list of candidate frequencies to consider.”
Maybe they can make it less interfering
They finally decided to "Finnish" the Moon.
Funny thing, it's just a box full of Nokia 3110's. The batteries last just fine all the way through the lunar night.

The major world powers that could achieve this have had... Other priorities, unfortunately.
