what does it still take to go all wireless economically and scientifically?
What do you mean by "go all wireless?"

More frequencies which reliably transmit through atmosphere and do not irradiate life.
Given the limits of resolution our amount of wireless bandwidth is basically finite, but our demand seems to be limitless. Thus we need to stop trying to go all wireless and and learn to better use the wireless we do have.
High density short range nodes do offer some promise, but they are still limited by the the same mechanism, not to mention the supporting infrastructure which already consumes a huge amount of resources to meet our insane demand. Having grown up without 56K a cap of 5MB seems very reasonable, and really outside of a limited number of industrial uses what do we need that bandwidth for?
