It is unlikely that radio and mobile telecommunications will completely replace fiber and cable-based telecommunications. Both radio and mobile telecommunications have their own unique advantages and limitations compared to fiber and cable-based telecommunications.
Radio and mobile telecommunications are highly mobile and can be deployed relatively quickly, making them well-suited for providing communication services in remote or disaster-stricken areas. They are also less expensive to deploy than fiber and cable-based networks. However, radio and mobile networks are limited by the availability of spectrum and the range of the transmission towers, which can result in lower bandwidth and decreased signal quality.
In contrast, fiber and cable-based networks offer much higher bandwidth and improved reliability compared to radio and mobile networks. They are also less affected by interference and weather conditions, making them ideal for delivering high-speed data, video, and voice services. However, fiber and cable-based networks are more expensive to install and maintain, and they require a physical connection to each building or location they serve.
Given these strengths and limitations, it is likely that fiber and cable-based telecommunications will continue to play an important role in providing high-speed and reliable communication services, while radio and mobile telecommunications will complement them by offering communication services in areas where fiber and cable-based networks are not feasible or cost-effective.
