I totally agree! There are huge areas of opportunity for wireless to get these speeds into the country and 'level up'.
I think one of the bottlenecks is still getting that backhaul and middle mile fiber connectivity for cheaper to feed this. If the FCC could open more PTP frequency space in the lower bands and make licensing more available, it would totally change things. Fiber construction costs are kind of stuck where they are being what it is to put stuff in the ground.

This was a speedtest taken by one of my customers this morning. The thing that surprised me was the 85% number. I'm not sure of the source of the data but if that's correct, then there is a huge opportunity that we all need to be looking at. In this case, it's a lowly Nanostation Loco M5 to an older XM Rocket. Even though there is about 40 customers on it, it wasn't under a lot of load when this was taken. But the point is, 50Mbps is a relatively easy number to hit with 802.11ac and it also means, 85% of the country is where we need to be competing.
