Darren,

"The only solution that will be economically viable is wireless broadband access (WBA) extensions from existing high-speed fiber rings."

Hmm... Where have I heard that before? Now I remember. I've been making a hypothetical case for this here in the last mile on and off for about six months. But no such model exists yet to support it.

However, in a way you do make a good case for fiber... and if the last 100 to 300 meters just happens to be coax or STP, or wireless for that matter, the end will probably be the same. None of them, however, will ever match the bandwidth potential, unobstructed and dedicated, of silica derivatives (wavelengths) directly into the home. If wireless is more economical and the tradeoffs are not severe, then so be it. Show me your radiated lobes, and I'll show you my singlemode photons.

Regards, Frank Coluccio
