I think smaller cells is where it's at. We're already moving to roof
top installs in town.
But even so, technology has gotten better.
Consider the Alvarion VL radios just 10 years ago. SISO, 54 megabits at
best -- which was about 25 megabits.
Now we're doing MIMO and 150 megabits in a 20MHz channel. We have GPS Sync.
I will say, what I would like to see is higher power in some of these
bands like 60GHz.... what exactly are we going to interfere with?!?!
If I could go 3-4 miles with 60GHz with a beamforming antenna... I could
knock the socks off any wired carrier.

Any opinions on where wireless technology will evolve in the next 5 years?
There's a compound annual growth in demand, and trying to think about
how manufacturers will meet that going forward. I'm assuming we can't
count on bigger channels or more spectrum. So what then? More MU-MIMO
chains? Or is it going to have to be street level small cells (60ghz
etc)? Or something else?
We're investing heavily in fiber, as I know a lot of you are, but the
wireless customers aren't going to go away.
