Broadband access may become limited to the cable provider and the phone
company, once access to the CO becomes impractical, while cable remains
closed.  High rates by wireless is for a reason.

Networking positions will remain with private ISPs.  Don't expect prices
to remain "competitive" after a shake-out either.  Things are seldom
better with fewer choices, either for labor or the consumer.

So what will you be doing?
