| Maybe america should stop tryiing to be the most wired.
And be the least wired. AKA all wireless, I recall seeing that verizon was working on getting 60m down to it wireless costumers, maybe every1 should. Then they would not have to pay to run wires everywhere, they could just put up a tower where ever the main internet "hubs" are. Easier to maintain from a certain point of view, you do not have to look for a break in the miles of wiring just on the tower, or in the stuff going to said tower. |

Easier to maintain from a certain point of view, you do not have to look for a break in the miles of wiring just on the tower, or in the stuff going to said tower. I think that is what will end up happening. The main reason this country is less 'wired' than some European locales is the sheer size of the place. There are some (many) areas of this country that are so remote that bears outnumber people 10 to 1. Places like that will never be wired, nor should they. Even in semi rural areas, it doesnt necessarily make sense to spend millions of dollars to provide access. With new wireless technologies slowly becoming viable (LTE, Wimax, etc.) I suspect that within the next 20 years we will see a shift from wired connections (cable, DSL, fiber) to wireless in all but the urban centers and surrounding areas.

Is all of Russia wired ? Wireless is the way to go in Rural areas. LTE is going to really bring the internet to everyone. |

you too are both correct, IMHO. We need more wireless for 2 reasons. 1: easier to deploy just put up a tower and not run miles of lines, but still get service to people maybe 12mi away if you do it right. 2: less outages due to broken lines, some1 digin a hole for road work ect. will not be able to cut the lines and take out service for a lot of people. |

Yes, and at a minimum of $60 a month capped at 5gb, it's even more profitable. |

As long as Verizon insists on capping usage at 5 GB a month and then charging $256 per GB then 60 Mbps down is useless. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | You do know you can get verizon with out a cap, right?
And after the 60m comes out the cap will most likely be uped. Maybe even done away with to gt costumer from other WISPs, like FiOS did with wired. |

Except that wireless doesn't really work either
The big problem with wireless is that the technologies currently in wide use require a line of sight between the user and the access point. If you have line of sight, it works great. And if there is no line of sight, it doesn't work at all. 
Big problem #1 is trees. Lotsa trees. We need 1 mile links that work through a full mile of trees.
Big problem #2 is hills. And other terrain.

Pleasant Hill, MO | not all some can be, cell phones don't need a direct LoS(well mine doesn't anyway) they make antennas to increase the power of the signal, so some times you can still get it. |

I'm still with Alltel for the moment, and they have no cap. If you have a different one, I'd be interested to know who.

what about high latency? is there a form of wireless tech that has a low latency like any wired method (fiber, cable, twisted pair)?? last i knew even 3g had over 150ms latency |

latency can be very low if even today's wireless technologies are used and the network is built right. I'm sure some of the WISPs on this board doesnt have 200+ms in their latency to start off with.
Anyone want to comment on their network's latency if you own a WISP. SuperDog? |
