<description><![CDATA[EPS posted : Hm, the problem is that as wireless starts to catch up with DSL and DOCSIS 1.1, new wireline technologies like DOCSIS 3, VDSL, and BPON/GPON will continue to make wireline superior in capacity.<br><br>The question is if we're reaching the point where that capacity becomes irrelevant, and wireless' always-on and wider coverage areas give it the advantage- this is already happening with phone service, since people are willing to put up with the lower sound quality (which isn't even always the case) of a cell phone and drop landlines altogether for telephone...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[anon posted : Does anoyone else find it ironic that OTA, radio, wireless or whatever term you prefer was, up until maybe 10 years ago considered an obselete technology from the perspective of TV and radio stations when compared to landline technologies? Cable, DSL and equivalents for a long time were (and in some cases, still are) considered to be the way of the future - this was a result of the content they delivered, Internet, better (arguable) programming etc. - now wireless is back in the forefront because it can deliver the same content. Truth is, it always could except the FCC smokes way too much crack. <br><br>Clearly wireless communication is superior in so many ways. I just think it's funny that the same technology that is associated with OTA and crappy/limited programming is now back in the forefront of communications. Wireless P2P and P2MP links can reach full duplex speeds of 800+ Mbps (bundle 'em and you have redundant fiber-like links, minus the expense of laying a fiber ring).<br><br>The more things change, the more they stay the same... ]]></description>
