Re: Maybe said by JPL:I'm sorry, but wireless will never fully replace good old fashioned linear TV and internet service. There just isn't enough wireless bandwidth to make that possible. Think about how many homes there are in the US (100 Million+). Add to that all the hotel rooms, bars, restaurants, etc. that also offer TV service. Now, multiply THAT by the average number of TVs per unit (let's round that down and call it 2). So now you're at what 250 Million TVs... I would LOVE to see someone realistically make the case that it would be possible to use wireless to replace all that. And I haven't even touched on internet usage yet. OTA?
Though I don't see wireless, at least not in it's current state, being able to support all Internet access. At least not at the speeds that people will want. |
