I need to revisit this. Today it is Wi-Fi that is coming to threaten the incumbent. Both vendor and operator incumbent.

Those WiFi bitstreams still must ultimately pass through all those same control handles, unless someone deploys an open-access bypass network. The access points that are put in place by the monopoly bottleneck owner (as a veiled strategy that has a public face of furthering growth of new technology, but has the likely covert intent of preventing bypass of their network from outside the CO) are probably responding to that threat.

Here in Africa Google is at it.
Google interconnecting the ISPs and ISPs are connecting users.

This bypasses the mobile operators.

the GSMA doing what the telco did. You remember they kill to live and live to kill.


Now there's another 5-7 years before 5G happens, if it ever happens (I doubt it). The GSMA killed WiMAX, but they can't kill Wi-Fi.

Meanwhile, even Facebook is doing WiGig... So Wi-Fi is happening. It's not about telco standards any more - that's a dying process.
