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.

Most of those mobile devices can connect to hotspots throughout cities at places like McDonalds for one example and they will be connected to the Fibre Optic network the stories going around about new wireless tech being the big new thing it can't come close to what fibre can deliver
and they all join up to the fibre at some point anyway.
And satelite and mobile service is dependant on the weather being good ie no cloud with satelite and line of sight for mobile tech.
