Also, I'm (slowly) trying to get the pieces in place to build an ISP. It won't be 100 Mbps symmetric. It won't be uncapped (though for $100 or so per month the plan is that anything less than 1TB per month is fair game...and for $50 enough usage will be given that 90% of folks won't be throttled or charged). However it will be better than the competition, and it won't be asking for subsidies directly (my bandwidth provider might be subsidized via USF...we'll see). The plan is to sell a level of connectivity that I'd be happy using for my own (power user) activities, which is saying something. But your regulation wouldn't allow me to even get started. How's that fair?
LTE 4 may not be able to, but LTE is not finished developing.. it is likely the next speed bump in this evolution will be able to handle 100mbits per customer easily up/down. Also the handset technology is not there yet either.. handsets barely run 20 megabits without chewing up the battery in 30 minutes-- so there are alot of technology hurdles which need to be solved simultaneously for this to work. Also the way the market is overcharging for current bandwidth, it's not likely you will see them be chomping at the bit to replace LTE4 anytime soon-- cellcos like to milk technologies for as long as the consumer keeps paying what they demand.. and the market is saturated with plenty of apathetic customers on both pre & post paid accounts.
