Since most observers expect 6G to feature access speeds at least 10 times greater than 5G, that implies top speeds in the range of 100 Gbps, with a lower range in the 10 Gbps region.
In fact, some believe top speeds could reach a terabit per second.
All that has to be a driver of thinking about upgrades of cabled internet access networks. If, within the next decade, mobile networks can reasonably deliver gigabit to 10 Gbps speeds, that makes them substitutes for the fixed network. And if, in a decade, 10 Gbps to terabit-per-second speeds are feasible, then cabled networks might in some cases be the second-fastest networks available to consumers.
All of that could have big implications for internet service provider market share. The issue in some markets will not be “cable or telco” but rather “mobile versus fixed.”
