That is absolutely not happening now, nor will it ever.

Read the fine print. Even land-line service does not provide infinite data per month. At some ___ GB, you start paying a fee.


The following axiom should serve these types of discussions well going forward: if it costs land-line ISP providers $X per GB delivered, then it costs wireless service provides $N*X per GB delivered, where N is some positive number that could well be in the hundreds, or higher! Don't know it exactly, but you get the idea.


It's just so laughable that some people actually believe all land-line service to people's homes (let alone businesses) will vaporize into thin air in the next 10 years, replaced entirely by phones.

Zero percent chance.

WatchESPN is just an app for devices, and I'm pretty sure they already have iOS and Android apps. Anyone with the appropriate login can use that app to access ESPN/2/U/News content as well as ESPN3 content.

Why would that be any different in your mythical "all wireless" world??
