Well, Thomas Malthus warned more than 200 years ago of a food crisis as the industrial revolution expanded populations, and that did not happen either. So don't bet against technology. Incresed efficiency in wireless data protocols trumps spectrum capacity all the time.http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/10/01/comcast-and-nbc-universal-antitrust-apocalypse/
"It's virtually guaranteed that FCC [Federal Communications Commission] regulators would review this deal," Glenn Manishin, a former antitrust counsel and trial attorney at the Justice Department's Antitrust Division, toldDailyFinance. "This could be a signature case for Chairman [Julius] Genachowski to demonstrate the principles he enunciated when he was confirmed." Manishin predicted any deal would also face review by the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department.

In fact, “Net Neutrality” regulation is a niche cause trumpeted incessantly by the blogosphere with about the same level of broad popular interest online as “housing rights”—a topic about which most of us probably don’t often fall into conversation (unless we happen to live in Bakuninist Berkeley or the Bolivarian Caliphate of Cambridge, MA, ground-zero of American Chavismo). “Net neutrality” currently seems to attract about the same level of interest as the term “end the Fed,” the title of Rep. Ron Paul’s call for abolishing America’s central bank—something I’ve been ranting about for years but which, until recently, most people found about as bizarre and irrelevant as my (sincere) insistence that President Jefferson should have obtained a constitutional amendment rather than simply assuming the power to execute the Louisiana Purchase.

Telecom lawyer Glenn Manishin, a partner at Duane Morris who is following the issue closely, said he has observed “momentum from a policy standpoint from the new administration and its Congressional allies to codify and perhaps expand the FCC’s net neutrality principles. But in absence of clear legislation, there are some very significant legal issues regarding the FCC’s power to impose those regulations on otherwise unregulated Internet service providers.”
