You have a good point. Like I said in another comment here, I think there will be companies to thrive on this new type of network. I also believe that in the end, Wi-Fi is a disruptive technology to 3G/4G technologies, and once it's everywhere and, perhaps always-on, it will quickly become the defacto network connection for a lot of mobile users.

In a way it's already there, but I think it has 2 issues right now: battery life and not being on by default. Although, battery life for 4G connections is probably even worse than Wi-Fi.
