The intended implication was that mobile demand would make fixed data
demand largely irrelevant.
ACAM reported that in December 2014, 21% of adult Australians were
mobile-only Internet users, up 2% from the previous year. Younger
Australians are more mobile and I suggest as they get older they will
stay mobile and fixed Internet use will decline in importance:

<sigh>
There are others on this list better qualified than I to unpick that
cherry. What I do get out of this is that both mobile and fixed line
demand are rising exponentially.
So, a little thought experiment:
- Two networks; one all fibre, the other solely wireless.
- To level the playing field, we'll make the distances 100 kilometres
for wireless and 1000 for fibre.
- Begin adding 8k video streams (this is not meant to be far into the
future, so we won't go beyond 8k).
Which will reach its limits first?
