Because the lesson of the FC App Delivery Membrane is that anything that touches the marginal cost computing power of the cloud must be capital efficient. Wi-Fi is the most capital-efficient element in the ADM today and, as a result, has sucked so much bandwidth out of networks that most of us hop from Wi-Fi island to Wi-Fi island.
