wireless and wired connectivity don’t have to be seen as mutually exclusive, in addition to gaining internet access an important consideration is load balancing and distributed networking.
as can be seen in some exciting wireless technologies like 802.11s (used in the OLPC) its possible for multiple users to share multiple network connections.
if wireless can bring internet access to more of the global population that is phenomenal, and an important part of this will be to use distributed networking techniques to balance and share bandwidth between multiple wireless and wired networks in an efficient, and fault-tolerant manner.
