ABSTRACT

There is a silent battle being fought within the broadband communication industry between the proponents of wireless broadband communications and fixed broadband communications. The battle is for supremacy of access techniques between the haves of fiber in the ground and the have-nots who also have wireless infrastructure. Within the wireless communication arena as well, the usual debate of what is broadband and which technology is broadband or 4G also rages. For the consumer, both battles are a welcome sign of a better future for broadband access. Every battle could lead to a better future and newer technologies at reduced costs.
