This article does not point out that many service providers, such as Verizon, are now offering FIOS to home and business consumers. FIOS by far beats the capabilities of the 802.11n standard. I do not see how the RJ-45 connector will become obsolete. I think those that are able to have FIOS in their businesses or homes will be upgrading to CAT6 cabling and Gigabit ethernet NICs. Fiber Optic, in itself, is also a very secure medium for the transmission of data also. Just things to consider, what are your thoughts?

Wire vs. Wireless
You are right, most people prefer a faster connection though the cost of a wired connection is a bit more expensive either RJ45 or Fiber Optic.
Maybe SMB Companies will start to evaluate their capacity planning to save money for common user networks regarding mostly Wireless connections deplyments instead of wired LAN´s.
On the other hand, Datacenters, Servers and Storage will remain in the most effective environment of Wired Networks.
