Wireless. Interesting observation. I have often considered trying to startup a wireless isp or wireless mesh network to provide fast net for cheap. But the wireless tech has never scaled well and the speeds have never kept pace with wired.
Even the latest MM wave hardware rolling out would be ok for now but tomorrow? Who knows how much of an upgrade path you will have in terms of speed and capacity.
Wireless doesn’t need to be gigabit to the home. 200mb/s would do a few streams of 4K and then handle most of everything else you need. Throw in caching and I don’t think you would need to offer gigabit speeds.
If you did you couldn’t support many folks per station.
I wish wireless was a silver bullet but it’s shaky at best imo.
It’s clearly the ONLY option for breaking the back of the incumbents. Especially if you only rely on private building access and bypass street lights and utility poles.
