NewsThe challenge with Wireless Infrastructure on
New Public Interest Group Formed for National Broadband Initiative

Interesting thoughts.

 The challenge I see with a Universal/Open Wireless approach as the primary delivery vehicle is the different class of service that it offers to users.

 Looking down the road at the new class of services that are coming online on the internet - things like telepresence, two-way HDTV service, broadcast HD IPTV - they are all enormous consumers of bandwidth.  As the price of employee travel rises - this will be the type of service people will want at home.  For those of us with Cable or FTTH/N - not an issue.

When is any current wireless solution going to offer anything close to this level of bandwidth?  Anyone stuck at the other end of a wireless universal approach is going to be a second class citizen for a very long time.
