No it's static only to your LAN (local area network) not the WAN and has no impact on the dynamic public IP address assigned by T-Mobile. Getting the correct local channels will be hit or miss - Hulu Live relies on unreliable IP based geolocation services unless your device has GPS services. In reality, your IP address says nothing about your location and these services are taking a wild guess - some are wilder than others. At the time I tried Hulu live I had no problem with local channels since I was using my phone (Samsung Galaxy) and Samsung Dex to stream to the TV via HDMI. using the Hulu app which relied on the phone's GPS.
Not sure if that's still the case, it's been awhile. I currently use YouTube TV which is a bit more flexible in establishing your proper location if wanting to stream directly from your TV.
