Unfortunately, as we learned from the debacle of cellular
communications, corporate inertia will either squash this or
slow gestation until it's stillborn. There is a substantial
investment in the current technology of TCP/IP and it still
works "just good enough". This change in network would require
installation of a twin network alongside the current, with slow
adoption in the consumer side. That would be very expensive to
build and maintain over numerous financial quarters and thus no
MBA-centric company would ever do it in current corporate
culture. This takes long-term thinking in a quarter-to-quarter
environment. Thus it won't happen for a very long time.
