Being a VC i suspect he was talking from the economic point of view. There is likely to be a higher ROI on wireless than wired networks, as they are usage billed rather than flat rate.

remember that you pay significantly for handsets; client are carved off from wired cost in the minds of consumers. Also, no one, god included is making another bit of capacity for wireless networks (in the shannon limit sense) any time ever. In cities (where the money is) they are contended and they are contended at just the times and places you don't want.
