Re: ROI
said by sousademiami  :I think fiber may likely become obsolete in 15 years or less because of wireless services. If 4G delivers on it's promise, it could be the end of landline services of any kind, TV, Phone, Internet, etc. That is what I was thinking, but wireless is still very susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Fiber is not. |

Fiber is not. I've seen 4G. It's a rival for last-generation DSL, and kicks-ass when mobile. It's great, but unfortunately it's not going to take us far into the future.

That would likely be acceptable for consumer applications, I'm not saying that business customers would make the switch. But for home use, having interference once in a while would be a small price to pay for greatly reduced cost.

We need to get out of this 1950's "residential class" and "business class" paradigm.
