Thanks mostly confirming what I suspected. I did think we would be able to use the spectrum more efficiently over time with better, more precise measurements but my guess is that will scale to its own limits a lot faster than a hard line will.

Much like procesing power and moore's law, we're getting very close to shannon's law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%E2%80%93Hartley_theorem.

Wireless isn't this huge gamechanger that people may think. To beat shannon's law you would need so many base stations in the long term it looks awfully like what we have now with DSL/Fiber/DOCSIS and wifi APs.
