Do you actually think we're ever going to see unlimited 5G service?

What about home security cameras, security systems, all the connected home devices? I certainly don't want to pay a monthly fee to connect all of them together.

That's exactly what I was thinking reading this thread. Fiber isn't likely to be surpassed by anything else anytime soon, but the need for having any kind of a traditional wired connection to the home could very well disappear in the not too distant future. Fiber is still going to be needed to make the 5G, 6G or whatever technologies work, but if every device has it's own unlimited 5G wireless connection, not many people are going to feel the need to pay for home connection. But whether that can actually be made to work (in both a practical and technical sense) remains to be seen.

    I don’t know why, but this evening got me thinking about broadband
    delivery over the past 30 years and the future of broadband.

    First we had nothing, then along came dial-up and that was amazing
    and many companies sprung up offering the service. Giants like AOL
    and Prodigy.

    Then DSL and Cable came along as well as wireless and dial-up has
    all but died.

    Now DSL is basically dead, cable and wireless have gone through
    several iterations and we are seeing a push to fiber.

    What’s the possibility in the next 10 years cable and wireless will
    be dead technologies with fiber at the fore front? Possibly.

    But then..... is fiber really future proof? We are talking about
    investing hundreds of millions into fiber infrastructure, because
    it’s “the future”. But is it?

    So far every technology delivery mechanism to date has become
    obsolete in as little as 6-10 years.
