Therefore, I can't see this venture as competing against the cable companies fixed infrastructure.

I don't think that was ever the point.
A 4Mbps wireless service is its own animal, and competes directly with HSDPA and EVDO. Comcast & Time Warner clearly just want to bang heads with ma bell.
I agree that that wasn't the point, but I'll bet many here were hoping a new wireless venture would be a new competitor to local cable and dsl providers.

That is actually a very good point. People were touting WiMAX as the 3rd great broadband hope ...

C'mon Karl, you know that Broadband by Blimp, or Zepplin, or Orbital Space Platforms is clearly the broadband path of the future!

FTTT is much better, installation is as simple as putting a weight on a reel of corrosion resistant Cat5 or fiber and flushing it down the toilet.
