Telstra sees internet "radio waves" so dumps landline and satellite broadband?

Interesting that only last week I wuz ruminating over the possibility of using "RADIO WAVES" to transport/transmit/connect the internet, as a future alternative to landline and satellite etc., technology and accessability.


This morning Telstra announced that it was dumping it's mulit-billion dollar planned "Broadband" internet wire network?


"Radio wave" connectivity SOUNDS Beautiful, but I cannot know at this stage whether its viable. I reckon it is.


If it is, this must bring up the question of whether at some stage in the future (assuming we have one) internet connectivity via radio waves, like "free-to-air" television, will become FREE?


I believe it will, as it should.
