I'm no expert in the matter, but why invest in fiber optics when the future is going to be wireless?
Also, this is another reason I'm a happy RCN customer.
Being fully wireless is like having perfect communism, impossible to achieve.
You have to have some wires somewhere attached to routers and transmitters in order to allow personal wireless service. Cable companies will have to eventually come up with a better way to send information into people's homes that doesn't require coaxial cables. Perhaps fiber optics are the future. Perhaps they'll use super-enforced CAT 5 cables.
