Frank, for the most part my response is....Yup! I don't think this is necessarily a permanent condition. I believe that there will be a point where handheld devices will be more ubiquituous and they will have applications that can utilize a high speed connection (iPhones maybe????). Then there may be a business case for muni wifi networks as an overlay to the existing terrestrial networks. Where wireless networks are competing with wired networks, I am convinced that the wireless network will lose. If there is no wired network or a wired network simply cannot support the application (mobile network access), wireless can succeed. I believe that someday all wireless data networks will be nearly as ubiquitous as cellular networks. Just not quite yet.
