So in other words, we should look out for the outcome being the same but different.

Which means that the incumbent big guys will dominate against a host of successful but [relatively] small, disproportionately noisy, ever-present and always annoying competitors. One of which will emerge as a big guy too, displacing one of the other big guys, and ultimately indistinguishable from the other big guys, despite highly differentiated origins.

So unless and until a meteor strikes the wireless planet(or falling satellite... - I hear GEO are bigger -vbg-), odds are that the emergent mammals will serve their traditional role in the food chain: as protein.
