This is why context is important.
The traditional definition of a personal computer has changed from Bulky PC to tablets or phones, which for most is more than good enough for their daily use case. Since tablets and phones have built in 4g connectivity and the device is mobile in nature, it makes sense for those users to user 4g internet for their mobile devices.
So to put things in context. People are not moving to wireless in droves because there is something wrong with wired services. They are moving almost at the same rate as people are ditching traditional PC for Mobile devices.
Gaming, Video Streaming is a huge market. Unless telco is giving out unlimited data at a cheaper rate and not charging per device with low latency + mobile devices having large battery time while playing games and watching Netflix or youtube, I don't see it as a concern for wired internet.
Those droves of people moving to 4g and ditching wired will remain a niche market. Because it doesn't make any practical or economic sense.
