Why not just use cell phones?
Unlimited calls for $15 a month is commonplace, 50 kbit/s will be more than enough for a few commands, the software for it is already there, and there's no range limitation as long as you have 2G service.

Two used burner phones are much, much cheaper than $141.
You could even use it for FPV. It won't be pretty but it will be reliable.
See pic related. VP8 encoding, 21 kbit/s, 24 fps.
If you'd use real 3G data, then it would obviously be good, but that's expensive.
