We have heard for many years that fiber would replace copper, and though it has not, the trajectory is obvious. Fully Autonomous vehicles are safer, but not yet, though the trajectory continues. Onsite PBXs and servers are continually being replaced by cloud based models; the trajectory continues. Phillip Usrey correctly said:“big cities aren’t the problem; it has always been the rural edge and that’s a multifaceted approach that’s needed”. This is true of almost any tech based on usage (cars, electricity). Up until the 1960s, all transmission from telephony was analog. 

If we are getting closer to becoming a Start Trek like civilization, it’s FWA that gets us there. And that’s the right trajectory. Whether or not fiber becomes obsolete is a different story and not up for debate. But when our houses are being made by printers, our long drives completed by autonomous vehicles, and our video games are virtual reality in the meta verse, and artificial intelligence is managing your lawn, and drones are delivering your food and wifi, we’ll see just how far FWS has come.
