It will take these guys 10-15+ years to get their act together. Maybe we're blessed with more agile telco players over here. It is true that they are 'slow' out of the gate but when they turn the jucie up you take notice. In the meantime, satellite bent-pipe backbones, IMO, will be the answer. Take a look at the Feb issue of Boardwatch. You can get an article on satellite cache technology on the www.skycache.com website. I discussed this very issue with my friend and he said that 'we should take up the satellite thing as a temporary measure', 'we' meaning his company. They're running tests with small cell Gigahertz class radio networks as their longer term solution. Think GSM (Do you have that where you are?) on steroids, only it is built for IP. Bandwidth in the single megabit range with roaming and stuff. IPv6 is build to enable this. The current IP-stack (IPv4) does not really enable the neccessary things like roaming and IP-address densities needed. Should be publicly available in a few years if it pans out.
