My fundamental issue with any wireless solution for home internet is that ... I have a home. It's not going anywhere. Even with a 9.x earthquake a la Fukushima, the average probability is that it's not moving much in the next 100 years. It's got copper, most of it is for power and pipes. Seems pretty trivial to run a tiny bit more for data. Zero probability that a common atmospheric bus serving the entire area (1) is going to guarantee me as much bandwidth as I can get over that wire. Why engineer freespace optics when a few pounds of circa 1950 oxygen-free copper will do? (1) area in this case is another definitional headache all it's own, driven by power and wavelength.
