IMO, as the future unravels, satellites (wireless) will be the primary method for accessing the internet worldwide. I certainly don't envision the third world laying wire infrastructure. China's ascent to major power will maximize the effect.
Will it be effective? Eventually, it should be very effective. Technology and competition will continue to exploit every possibility for improvement. Witness the move from copper to fiber or vacuum tubes to silicon chip to probably glass cubes next. I believe the telecom/internet engine will create tremendous opportunities for years to come. Some years down the road, when we all look back at pivotal changes in society at the end of the 20th century, wireless communication will stand out in the same way that advent of wired communication stood out at the beginning of the century.

As far as <"AOL everywhere except cable">, don't be too fast to rule that out. I still think AOL and T will work something out.
