You should look up Ted Schell while you are out there. Associated Group, Cometa, Clearwire, Russian Wi-Max, all sorts of interesting stuff. There's more energy in Ted at 70 than there is in most entrepreneurs. Let me know if you have time for a quick meet with him.

a) Clearwire announced Q1 results yesterday. 50 million of the population covered, growing to 120 million. So for 120 million (33% of the US), there is a third provider with multi-megabit speeds and no caps.
b) 3G data is available today to 270 million of the US population over two separate networks - Sprnt and Verizon. There's Cricket mobile (we'll see their additions tonight) to others. Both are hundreds of Kbps throughput.
It's not good enough, but there's more competition than you think for services today. What the FCC should have done is given the consumer who is trapped in a bundle the right to break the bundle without a termination fee if any of the services fail to meet consistent bandwidth guidelines.
As one who is developing programs that depend on low latency over wireless data networks, I am more concerned now about using the wireless data channel than ever. So are those who want to fund my application. The cable companies are not the only ones harmed here - so are the apps developers in time.
