I was just curious that the congestion/contention argument 
seems to be assumed for wireless but overlooke for fibre.

The transience issue also applies to wireless. The 
distinction between Stationary (at time of use, but device 
can be relocated) and Mobile rather than Fixed (which is 
what the NBN is implementing) and mobile would be more 
practical.
