But, such interesting news!
Vodafone, Audi and Nokia are jointly working to bring 4G data connectivity on the Moon by 2019. Quote:
Vodafone’s network will be used to set up the Moon’s first 4G network, connecting two Audi Lunar Quattro rovers to a base station in the Autonomous Landing and Navigation Module (ALINA).

Found some info on this on Audi's website: http://www.audi.com/en/innovation/mttm.html Quote:
The Audi lunar quattro vehicles will be playing a key role in this spectacular mission – driven by the legendary quattro drive. They have been perfected in every respect for exploring the ‘eighth continent’: built using lightweight construction and equipped with quattro technology, driven by a powerful, solar-supplied e-tron engine
