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.

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.

Levin said 4G wireless rollouts in 2010 or 2012 could represent a significant change in the competitive landscape. “That is a far more significant competitive threat than I think people realize,” he said, adding that, for wireline providers feeling the sting of wireless substitution, “The worst, in wireless, is yet to come.”
