There are something like seven higher forms of transmission. There may be more but no one has ever needed to invent them. To our level of physics the only constraints are the Uncertainty Principle and the speed of light. The Uncertainty Principle constrains computation to a max 10^50 bps. Computation also constrains transmission purely within mechanics. Within this constraint the next higher form of transmission is neutrino waves. We won't get into that until the 22nd century. Within electromagnetics there is still undeveloped optical, time domain, and even good old radio which has one more play before it's silenced forever. Time domain is built around em pulse truncation. Matter is transparent to it and without a certain receiver the signal is indistinguishable from background noise. Thus, it isn't public and it is Shaolin. Originally developed for military usage it is now under intense development. By undeveloped optical I mean basically all the potential available hiding in the characteristics of the quantum eigenvalues of the em spectrum. There's so much there that the transmission density is only limited by the extremely crude waveguides we have. Solid fiber is in the same category as copper wire. It's a wonder that light can get down them at all. The first improvement is to make the fiber hollow. This is being done now. The next improvement is to create a semiconductor cylindrical shell whose function is to manage the vacuum conducted optical beam much like elementary particle accelerators do. These two improvements should take wire densities to 1000 Ter. Our society is too primitive to use any density greater than this. Radio will make a comeback in a way that has mostly scientific uses. Your interest deals with communications and the bulk of that into the 25nd century will be handled optically. It will last so long because it is so compatible with nature's furies. It too, like neutrino waves, will give way to the new physics which has the ability to send information far above the velocity of light on the order of c^4. Doesn't this violate Special Relativity? No. Em energy is delimited to the paths of matter. Magnetic and electric fields have too much inertia which they receive from the continuum. You have to escape the connectedness of the continuum to transcend the matter-field Planck coupling. A note on bandwidth: Bandwidth will never be a constraint. The only constraint that people blame on bandwidth is the constraint of incentive. If there is no incentive to increase bandwidth, then there will be a dearth of it.
