There will be 2 terrestrial options for internet service. The legacy standard will be BPL (Broadband over Power Line). This can provide for service of 200MBPS or more. The only thing required by the subscriber is an available electrical outlet in the communications closet. BPL will replace the need for cellular, coaxial, or DSL. There will have to be some upgrades with the electrical provider, but this is not going to be an issue since the electrical provider will likely be a monopoly to assure reasonable electrical rates. The ISP can not charge a modem fee since a modem is required for BPL services.
The second option will be fiber optic. In communities where there is fiber optic service, this will phase out BPL from the service options. Fiber optic is literally only limited by the hardware in the communications closet. Most residential premises will likely only have 1GBPS switches which means they will be wasting their money if they acquired a 2.5GBPS connection.
Cellular, coaxial, dialup and DSL will no longer become options for the consumer. During the transition, the subscriber will be notified of the depreciation of their services, and explained why BPL will be a better choice. Those on current cellular service will likely not be able to acquire a static IPv6 address which is a safety issue since emergency services uses the IPv6 address to lookup the physical address.
There will be no new telephone nor coaxial lines installed. Anytime there is a need for an upgrade, the upgraded lines will be exclusively fiber optic, and the premise will have an ONT to where the LAN can connect via RJ45 rather than “requiring” a modem for service. In other words, the government will not invest in any new telephone nor coaxial lines – instead focusing exclusively on fiber-optic until something better is provided.
