I dunno... 802.16 (WiMAX) might fit the bill till 802.22 (WhiteSpace) takes over--presuming it ever gets off the ground. If nothing else, one or both may replace dial-up access entirely (for those still on dial-up, especially if it's "free" ...here's hopin'), so it doesn't have to be anywhere near as fast as wired (just orders of magnitude faster than dial-up). Mostly, we just need more options than our local telco and our local cableco--aka the devil you know and the devil you don't know.
