"The very widespread, duck-the-issue viewpoint that, 'We need
broadband but we shouldn't be an advocate of any particular
technology, let a thousand flowers bloom and the market select which
is best,'  is a crock!

"Broadband equals fiber. Let's stop beating around the bush. Indeed,
let's stop using the word 'broadband'. It has been abused to the point
of uselessness, and specifically used to obscure the facts in favor of
incumbents who want to continue selling their obsolete copper. All
other fixed-medium technologies (DSL, DOCsis, BPL) are rubbish; bad
stopgaps designed to get a few more years of service out of incumbent
systems. The wireless options (WiFi, WiMax, 4G) are useful add-ons to
a fiber foundation infrastructure, but they are NOT substitutes for
it!"
