The question isn't about whether the kids will be using wire or wireless... we know they will be using wireless. The question is what that wireless will be. Something has to drive the wireless, so the wire (mostly high-bandwidth fibre) is not going anywhere. It is the distribution, particularly in consumer applications, that will be wireless.
That we totally agree on.
I just think that it will be more wi-fi than GSM data, simply because of the cost of scaling out GSM data vs. the cost of running fibre to a site and distributing connectivity via wi-fi.
My instinct tells me it will be some form of low earth orbit satellites. In the past I worked for a GEO satellite ISP and while that technology has its drawbacks, those are mostly resolved with transponders in LEO. That said, in my dreams it will be something like this: https://phys.org/news/2019-12-entanglement-long-distance-free-space-quantum.html Imagine a world where you have one half of a quantum entangled particle in your device, with the other half being on the ISP premises. Instant wireless communication. I do apologize for the highly off-topic sci-fi here :) Thanks, Sabri
