100 Mbps Wireless Broadband by 2010?
Mobile broadband could hit 100 Mbps before fiber to home access is widely deployed in many markets, according to the GSM Association. Japan and South Korea, as early as 2010, might be followed by access at those sorts of speeds in the European market by 2012.
That doesn't necessarily mean wireless broadband will be a fully-functional substitute for fixed broadband for every application. It does point out that the "race" to enhance fixed network broadband speeds is important for competitive reasons beyond the tactics of competing wired network providers.

It's really good to hear that wireless broadband will hit over 100 Mbps in 2 years. So,we can access a good internet speed.
Yes this does sound good, however when this does enter the european market,wireless ISP's should rethink their 'usage allowance' on their wireless modems. At the moment all i can use is 10GB p/m, and personally with this sort of usage limit I cant see the point of having 100Mb/ps broadband. Hopefully theres a broadband revolution on the way!!
