More than a decade later, the goal remains elusive.

Inc., can at least work on bringing it closer. "We've got this great thing called the Internet, but how are we actually going to deliver it where people will use it?" Trepp said. Before joining Marina del Rey-based 5G, Trepp was executive vice president and chief financial officer of PhatNoise, a developer of hardware and software for digital media players.

The company is also in negotiations to bring wireless broadband services to underdeveloped nations. Trepp claims that 5G's wireless technology appeals to poor countries by saving them the cost of laying cable to schools, cities and other infrastructure. "What gets me up in the morning is the vision of what we can do for all those people," Trepp said.
