This is already happening in Spain, and it's a headache because we already planned mobile coverage around the current bandwidth, and I really can't see how are we going to do without installing more BTs. There are plans to replace copper with wireless connections in very dispersed areas. In most of this areas we already have posts, so I don't really understand what's the logic behind it, because at the end of the day you're replacing capex with opex. I may be wrong, but laying fiber, if you don't dig it, isn't that expensive, specially if you already own the infrastructure and it's easy to re-purpose. As always, we won't be able to avoid shades and typical wireless problems, so IMO people will call helpdesk more frequently, and the tooling for diagnosing problems is nowhere close to fiber/dsl.
