How could telephone cable slow down the growth of wireless systems??

1. telephone cable is smaller and less effective. there is more resistance and it does not transmit data as quickly. as all wireless is wired somehwere... what it is wired with will effect the speed. if it is wired with ethernet cable it will run much faster than telephone cable... heck, anything will
2. I guess this is an economics question. In developed countries, there's already a major cabled network meaning that it's unnecessary to go wireless. The bandwidth available on decent cable is far in excess of that via wireless simply because phone-lines are point-to-point from subscriber to the exchange, whereas wireless is shared amongst many subscribers using a limited number of radio frequencies. In less developed countries it's more economical to set up a wireless network instead of a wired one, although the bandwidth available may not be as high as it would be if a fully-wired network was set up.
