Has anyone done an analysis of the capacity of FWA systems (in
bits/sec/Hz/km^3)???? I am suspicious that the capacity falls way short of
that which cable guys have at their disposal, and that as the FWA networks get
loaded, performance is going to degrade dramatically ultimately resulting in
churn back to the cable guys. It's very expensive to compete with already sunk
FTTH or even FTTC.

The SEC 10-K filings of ISPs no longer support that. Most wireline ISPs
are losing subscribers (at material levels) to one of the three new national 5G
FWA ISPs (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T). In addition, we will in a few years see
the effects of $45B+ of grant money dedicated to underwrite new broadband
access network construction - that is also pretty material.
Per https://telecoms.com/523519/growth-in-5g-fwa-kit-matches-operator-hype/
- " 5G FWA customer premises equipment shipments more than doubled
to 7.4 million last year and should reach 13.8 million – that’s 86%
growth – this year "
- " The GSA survey shows overall FWA CPE shipments of 25.5 million
units last year, "
- " Statistics shared by Leichtman Research Group recently showed
that T-Mobile and Verizon together recorded the best part of 900,000 5G FWA net
adds in the second quarter of this year, significantly more than the virtually
flat cable segment and ahead of the wireline broadband market, which lost
almost 62,000 customers in the three months. "
