10-15 years? ROFL!
Do you realize how long 10 years is? 15 years?

Yeah, 5GB wireless cap is a total threat to the 250GB cap Comcast has. Sure!

FiOS, as I have stated, VZ will not overbuild into AT&T territory so many people will never get to see FiOS.

Whatever you say friend, whatever you say!

If we are talking about who has a more "future proof" strategy, 10-15 years is NOT that long. Yeah, its easier for cable companies to milk their copper in 2009, and they are taking more phone subscribers from the telco than the telco is taking video subscribers. Eventually, its all going to be an IP core and at that point Fiber to the Home and LTE broadband wireless will clearly be superior to cable's Fiber to the node strategy... whether or not you want to admit it, cable is eventually going to have to upgrade their networks...

Never said they wouldn't!
You need to realize, what was once "Unlimited" wireless is a shambles now.
LTE won't be any different.
ANY of the true wireless services will be severely limited and within 10 years, we may very well see the likes of comcast extend that last mile of fiber.

Wireless has a lot of issues that will need to be overcome before it will ever be a serious threat to any hardline service.

It'll be sooner or that or we'll be picking on them like we are AT&T...

Wireless will never compete with wired on speed. Physics wont allow it. The only chance is the wireless provides enough speed so that the wired advantage is not needed.
