Isn't a large problem with ISP's the last mile, fiber or cable, which is very expensive? This is purely wireless? I have a 15Mb cable connection for $50 month (after taxes). FIOS is $30 more. Will he partner with these physical carriers or purely go wireless?

Yes, it seems he plans to be entirely wireless. It was compared in the article to Clear's 4G WiMAX service augmented with ubiquitous encryption.

He could also piggyback over existing copper/fiber owned by the large telcos. It's allowed by law even.
