I read an article a few weeks ago that claimed that phone wireless will over the next several years completely replace cable. The claim was that the average phone subscription will include unlimited wireless anyway so why get internet from cable? And the phone companies will apparently provide the same content as cable.
Here in Grand Junction, the city council is being told by various people that phone wireless won't be where it's at and the community will be able to survive only if every residence in town has buried fiber optic running all the way to the premises. This would put the city in hock for something like $70,000,000. So far, only the two farthest Left of the council members are buying into it.
