As the population ages and moves into condos, satellite access is going to
have less appeal. Wireless, OTOH, could be used anywhere. The countryside is
already littered with cellphone towers.

As we aged we moved OUT of a condo. Too small for our needs and too
many restrictions, although I was able to put up 4 vhf/uhf verticals
and a 200-foot long wire.

Young thirty-something family members, though, moved into a rental
condo and one of their conditions was an internet connection "in the
wall" - no problem finding it in any place that they looked.

Finally, installation of small-dish satellite antennas for delivery
of broadcast and video services (including internet) has better legal
pre-emption than we hams have with PRB-1.
