One day dial up and broadband will go the way of the Edsel and the 8 track tape.

One day dial up and broadband will go the way of the Edsel and the 8 track tape.Dialup and DSL will likely be supplanted by 802.16a. It provides 70 megabits/sec at distances up to 30 miles. It solves the problem of loop loss over large distances from the central office.
802.11g will probably overtake 802.11b over time. The security issues with current 802.11x networks that run open or with weak WEP protocols will likely go away as more people adopt the WPA security stacks.

Those dial-up squawking sounds will someday be as quaint as the Ah-OOOO-ga horn on a Model T.
