Voice Service Pointless

I would hope that cable companies would not bother with wireless voice, as that market has been saturated in the USA for a very long time now.

Wireless broadband is going to be very interesting. The main danger for cable companies is that if they deploy this in their existing service areas, they end up competing against their own wired offerings. I wonder if they will deploy to unserved or underserved areas first?

that just flat ain't gonna happen.

I would like to think they would use this capability to serve hard to wire communities, to complement their wired services. Unfortunately, I can have no good feelings at all about this, since it is highly likely they have as much interest in establishing a presence to deter competition as anything else.

quite simply, the incumbents want to control the world of content distribution and telecom and are just covering all the bases.
