Probably not. I'd argue this for the same reasons I don't think IP phones will ever fully replace the current telecommunication system.

Relying on the same infrastructure for multiple commodities would be extremely unwise. I highly doubt the leaders in technology will overlook that disadvantage.

What, you mean like roads, aircraft and trains?

None of which rely on any sort of backbone structure.

I really think all airplanes should be able to run on railroad tracks. Also, all trains should be able to fly. Finally, cars should be powered by wind.

No, my point was, they are the infrastructure for countless commodoties.

I love you.

You're taking it out of context... I know they're infrastructures, but it's completely unrelated to the topic.

I love you.
Why won't you go all the way with me then?:P

How is it out of context? Look at what you said:

We already do that, every day!

It's called oil.
Oil makes gas.
Oil makes plastic.
Oil makes a lot of other things as well. It's dangerous.

Because it is totally unrelated to the subject of this thread.

If you were unable to catch on to my implications, I was talking about technology. I should have elaborated, but I'm certain you were able to understand where I was coming from. I think you're just looking for reasons to make me look dumb. :P

It's not that I was trying to make you look dumb. You made a broad, generalized statement that has little if anything to do with reality.
Technologically speaking, we already use the same infrastructure for a lot of the varied services. In my area, the phone company delivers phone service over the same lines they use to deliver broadband internet and digital cable. The same phone company also offers satellite TV and DirectWay.
Whether you'd like to admit it, or whether you'd like to say you're "in a different context," you're wrong about not using the same infrastructure for multiple commodities. It happens all the time, in countless situations, from delivering real goods to soft services.

Just to toss something out there, the radio was replaced in popularity by the TV, but it's still there; I think in much the same way computers will become the dominant media center for TV/Music/maybe games one day.

Then what are you attempting to accomplish? I assume that you understand what I was trying to get accross.
It had an implied scope. I'd hoped that you, of all people, would be able to recognize that.

Yeah, but those aren't the only companies. I'm saying I don't think the internet will ever replace the TV network.

I've already admitted it. If I haven't, I meant to. It just seems pointless to argue about something like this when it's obvious what I was talking about.

I declare me the winner of this debate for coming up with the best solution ever.
