Re: BUT - Levin does see 4G as being disruptive....

Wireless is an attractive alternative to wired broadband were mobility is important and rural areas.

In more populated locals there is not enough channel capacity to deliver really high speed (i.e. multi megabit per customer).

Regardless: even with wireless a given area will have limited broadband competition because first-mile deployment cost is high relative to revenue potential.

Re: BUT - Levin does see 4G as being disruptive....

Correct on all three counts.

In order to get much wireless bandwidth per customer you have to be way up in the GHz so you have room for lots of channels. 700 MHz, white spaces, don't make me laugh. This also means it will take a lot of towers to get much coverage.

These physical constraints mean wireless will always be some compromise between cost and limitation, and wired will always be cheaper and less limited.
