Let's Leave Wireless Broadband to Wireless Devices
[Commentary] The reality of today's technology is that wireless is having enough trouble trying to keep up with the increasing demands of mobile applications and devices. It is a myth that some day we'll live in a world without wires, that all of our broadband connectivity will eventually be delivered over the air. The simple, undeniable reality of wireless is that its capacity constraints are due to clear technological limitations. For one, wireless spectrum is artificially limited, which restricts the throughput and overall capacity that you can get wirelessly. If we were able to get lots more spectrum that would relieve some of these issues but not all. Fiber, on the other hand, can always have enough capacity and can easily be upgraded to meet any level of demand whenever its needed. It's the only broadband technology that can do this, too. So let's stop trying to lump wireless and wireline broadband together and start realizing that they're complementary not competitive.
