“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.
Perfect example. Even now, all his in-home wiring provides faster & secure networking ... but the stark raging convenience of wireless completely overwhelms that.
Even now, I look around my house seeing telephone drops everywhere. Haven’t used them for the 10 years we’ve lived here. Would be nice to have a “wired home phone”, but with smartphones in pockets there’s just no point.
