Any way xxGhz wireless can replace wires?

I read where they are sending messages short distances using 40ghz radio, maybe even higher frequencies.

I guess fibre-optic cable provides the greatest bandwidth, but until every cable company can switch over to that for its entire network, they will use old-fashioned wires.

Would it be practical to get rid of a lot of the cable strung along poles, by having a small relay transceiver, running at xxGhz, on a pole every x feet, relaying a signal to the next transceiver?

No. Wires and/or fibers can coexist meaning you can have hundreds of them in a bundle. There is not enough spectrum for that many radios to coexist.

Latency would also be terrible.

Also you need to power these radios, and when you look at going above 10ghz, you start to loose your links when it rains.
