Welcome to the internet monopoly. Probably not.

[Roddy189]

Difficult one really, it will most likely be a possibility for large businesses in in highly populated areas but for it to be considered a norm is a no. 

imagine for example the UK, very old networks in which only in the last couple of years have we seen broadband reaching 80/20 Mbps (mainly Fibre To The Cabinet,). and much of the country is still on either very slow broadband or dial up connections (I believe it is the same for America and Canada, surely? vast distances to cover over copper and aluminium networks) IF the infrastructure is upgraded then yes it is a possibility, but considering cost and time I don't see how it would benefit anybody except major corporations.

Wireless connections are notoriously unreliable.  Hardwired connections will always preferable to wireless ones.

I see netflix and netflix like services going under windows updatez being mailed to homes for a price and redbox increasing in size because every one will be on 2-10 gb data limits and companies large and small will not beable to sustain the high costs of internet video tolls that must be paid for content to be delivered to customers. Comcast will have eaten up all cable companies including dish/directv and will have over thrown the fcc . I see steam put up a good fight but ultimately going physical media. I see the downfall of everything.

My worst case scenario

We're talking another decade of devloment. Not right now. Who knows what security they'll have then and what will exist.

Even over the next ten years. wireless will remain less secure than a hardline connection.

[eLucid]

Not going to happen in 10 years, sorry.

[lutewan]

hahahahah no i dont even have internet 

[frostin1990]

optic fibre connections even though they are so outdated yet super fast and yet not implemented due to corporate greed.

[Skylercompany]

I think more offline services will be connected to the internet like they did with the hotel door opening app.

 

That's just one of the many things that went digital, I think buses and trains once we start developing them will have some form of connectivity.

 

The future of out world is with those magnetic trains instead of driving.

 

Give it 100 years and we will have something to transport us across the land that isn't as expensive as a plane, yet moves us to and from any destination in a matter of minutes.
