But little by little, wireless technologies are emerging that could quicken the spread of broadband access.
Wireless technologies have definite limitations, but so do their wired alternatives.
Between cable modems, DSL and fixed-wireless, it's pick your poison. No one's going to be 100 percent happy with what they're using. Different broadband systems probably will coexist for the next few years by targeting the markets best-suited to their technological strengths and by filling service gaps left by other systems. But it will take time. There is going to be something north of 50 million households that cannot get any broadband for the next few years, so it's a huge market for us.
