Thanks Bernard,

Except that the debate is where to stick the wireless and
fibre. Though those arguing for fibre to the home seem to
have relocated their fibre to the CBDs, Mobile Phone Towers
and undersea cables.

I would like to also distinguish between mobile and
wireless. Not all wireless is mobile (ie works while the
connection is moving at any speed).

I-Burst/Unwired/microwave was/is wireless but did not claim
mobility.

Then there is satellite. Also, note analog TV was not to be
mobile but radio was.
