And that would be using what spectrum and what technology? Consider what the release of one Apple product did to the associated carrier's wireless net. Then consider the current tendency for "unlimited wireless data" to mean 2-3G per month. Where's the economic incentive for all these carriers to build out enough capacity to move "all consumer data" (or a large fraction anyhow), and lower their prices to match? Sure, it may happen *eventually*, but for it to happen in 5-10 years, it would have to be in motion *now*. So who's already in motion?
