Maineville, OH | Not for long distance runs. Wireless is a decent lower bandwidth solution. But for long hauls, nothing can substitute fiber.

The technology of wireless is still in its infancy. What you will have in the future will be way beyond what we have now. And much easier and faster to deploy.
WIMAX coming down the road soon is just one example. |

Actually the reverse is probably true... Of course it depends on they way you look at telecommunications.
Fibre can provide bandwidth above 100Gbps... Wireless on the other hand is far from that.
And then you have the spectrum issues. As wireless becomes more pervasive, you have to consider spectrum crowding, a problem that fibre does not have.

I agree that a wired service is more dependable, take this example for instance ; imagine your stomach is no longer connected to your esophagus, and food that you intake is broken down into tiny particles and transferred through space and time. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY VIRUSES YOU COULD GET?! =D
