And that would be using what spectrum and what technology? Consider what the
release of one Apple product did to the associated carrier's wireless net.
Then consider the current tendency for "unlimited wireless data" to mean 2-3G
per month.
Where's the economic incentive for all these carriers to build out enough
capacity to move "all consumer data" (or a large fraction anyhow), and lower
their prices to match?
Sure, it may happen *eventually*, but for it to happen in 5-10 years, it would
have to be in motion *now*. So who's already in motion?
