My instinct tells me it will be some form of low earth orbit satellites. In the past I worked for a GEO satellite ISP and while that technology has its drawbacks, those are mostly resolved with transponders in LEO.
As a method to reach the 03b + under-served remote areas, perhaps. But the economics and technical performance don't make sense for LEO to be a last mile technology in a major metropolis.
That said, in my dreams it will be something like this: https://phys.org/news/2019-12-entanglement-long-distance-free-space-quantum....
Imagine a world where you have one half of a quantum entangled particle in your device, with the other half being on the ISP premises. Instant wireless communication. I do apologize for the highly off-topic sci-fi here :)
That goes beyond the realm of my imagination ;-). Mark.
