"One day, you might even have a 100Gbps wireless link from your home to your ISP."

Probably not, there's far less spectrum reserved for civilian uses than for military per capita.

Spectrum can be freed up for other uses, and people continuously make better modulation techniques to make better use of the spectrum.

And there's already a lot of ISPs that provide point to point wireless links. You get an antenna, hook it up outside your office building, point it at the radio tower of the ISP.
