>>Wireless would allow them to leapfrog the copper and fiber infrastructure buildout.<< Makes sense - but wireless needs infrastructure, too, doesn't it? All those towers - it needs line-of-sight transmission or satellites, right?<edit>Satellites are line-of-sight, too, I think. Not sure if I am using the proper terms, but the radio waves are sent in a straight line, and to curve around the earth, and move in other directions, they need to be received and retransmitted, so to that extent, infrastructure is needed.
