That may be true, I 'm no expert either. I'm basing my assumption on the fact that most cell phones have Internet capability now. It seems to me that is the next logical direction the technology is headed, not through cable wires.

Well the long term future may be wireless but I doubt that is is cell technology if your are intending
to use it for heavy duty data transfers like medical records. Also cell is fine as long as you are in n area
that is populated and has good coverage.

I think that if you get a wired backbone down and make it affordable (likely fiber optic) that there would be
a good opportunity for entrepreneurs to create other products off of it - like wireless data systems.

Look at the Korean model. They have a very wide spread broadband system that reaches into the rural areas.
It is very inexpensive because it is government subsidized but there are many companies making money
by charging for services or entertainment over the system.
