All that extra bandwidth, I know Foxtel would love to have it. Great way for Mr Murdoch to get into your home without him having to fund it. But I am being cynical.

You have to be aware that "mobile" is not really mobile.
It relies on a number of wireless cells, that need to be connected with high-speed links with hubs and servers... Because the transmitters on your mobile devices can't have higher-than-something power output. So fibre infrastructure is essential for those services, and it will be used by those who live in the future as well.
