I expect this is a push toward eliminating wired Internet service entirely. Why spend the money installing/upgrading thousands of miles of old wire/fiber in an area, when a fast-swap cargo container + 100’ antenna can service the same area?

There’s a reason Google stopped rolling out its much-lauded gigabit fiber networks - likely that wireless is poised to overtake in speed and be profoundly cheaper to upgrade.

Many years ago. My friend had bought a really cool large mountain house. He is a techie geek, so he installed Ethernet ports in all the rooms and he had an Ethernet patch panel in the utility room. Really nice. Just over one year later, Wi-Fi came out. Totally obsoleted all the work he had done throughout that beautiful large house.
