I can tell you the probability of a mobile wireless solution in the MMDS and LMDS bands is severely constrained by both engineering and regulatory barriers. The other technologies I am not familiar with.

Interface: The visual interface is the best for machine-to-person, but the audio interface is the best for person-to-machine. How many people can type?

Ultimately, those who pay for something control it. Currently, most websites that don't sell things are funded by advertising. Thus, they will be controlled by advertisers and will become less and less useful to the users.

One obvious candidate for educational revolution is the Net.
