Reinventing the Internet: How wireless networks could become the workhorses of the web

[Commentary] Let’s face it: today the Internet is wireless. We need the mobile data those networks provide to be cheap -- dirt cheap.

The price of mobility can’t remain $15-$20 a month for a gigabit of data, otherwise we’re not making the Internet mobile at all. We’re just creating an expensive toy that the majority of people can only access on a limited basis.

We can build that wireless network, but there are two problems we need to solve. The first is a problem of physics, which the wireless industry can work out in the labs. The second is a problem of political will.
