I think wireless would be great too, but still have limitations to a point, pending on area as well. Even once say Verizon is all 4G by the end of next year.
As long as there is still data caps and throttling, wireless will not go anywhere sadly.

I just wonder how long the smart grid will take to roll out. EPB laid down fiber for the smart grid but later on decided to get into the internet/tv business. If the smart grid is pushed, everyone pulling power from the grid will eventually have a data connection.
I still think it would have been awesome if Obama's stimulus package was all grant/load money for smart grid, 4g and high speed internet. I think it would be on the same level/catagory of what Eisenhower did for America with the Eisenhower Interstate System.
