The future I imagine is one where people use data when out and about, 
which I think is "dynamic". High speed broadband limited to home seems 
to me lacking in imagination: a quaint old fashioned view of the future, 
like a 1960s black and white documentary about future transport, with 
atomic powered cars on 24 lane freeways.

Cell phones were invented to overcome the limited spectrum.
