Without having much knowledge of the specifics, that was what I was thinking.  
Given the enormous upfront costs for laying cable and the amount of time 
taken to lay cable across even something as small as the Perth metro area, I 
would have thought that at this stage Telcos would be looking seriously at 
wireless as an eventual replacement for cable.  With my small amount of 
knowledge in this area I would have thought it was only a matter of time 
before wireless, in one form or another, takes over.

Please feel free to shatter all my illusions =).

There was a writer in 'Life' magazine ... who claimed that rabbits have
no memory, which is one of their defensive mechanisms.  If they recalled
every close shave they had in the course of just an hour life would become
insupportable.
