This article is confused. You should see that as soon as an author makes a statement asserting that:

equipment and to a fact of nature: Unlike copper, glass doesn't rust.

Copper rusts? So much for the Bronze Age. It devolved into the Iron Age.

As for the validity of this quote:

"For truly broadband applications, the real battle will be between fiber and wireless," says Stanzione, who heads Lucent's famed Bell Labs.

Anytime this expert would like to debate that claim, I'd love to accommodate him. The only possible wireless competition could come from a wireless that is not of a type currently available. An example is the pulse mode of Time Domain. All other wireless has hopeless LOS limitations. It is in the nature of the coupling of em and matter. Matter vibrates when em hits it in the usual transmission frequencies so that em coherence is scattered. There are schemes by which ubiquity of reception and transmission finds a way to bend a straight line into a curve, but these solutions have overwhelming implementation and cost limitations. There is hope in the 22nd century though: neutrino waves. But competition for waveguides from free waves? Bet me Jack.
