Ali: Fiber versus wireless. Fiber has huge BW, but is extremely costly to install, so that it can reach few locations. Wireless has less BW, but can go anywhere. So, fiber is a natural for the trunk of any communications network. By trunk, I mean not only city to city connections, but connections all the way to the neighborhood. For the last stretch you have 4 choices: wireless, cable, xDSL, or fiber for buildings that have a high user denaity. Broadband wireless has more BW than either cable or xDSL (even VDSL) solutions. To go back to BR's analogy. if you think of a road network, fiber is the freeways. Wireless/cable/xDSL are the local roads. Narrowband modems or narrowband wireless options are the dirt roads.
