You are confused about Cable /DSL Modem/ PON these things are needed, majority people end up buying these things as cable companies end up charging for the modems, I do not see AP in my Home being controlled by Cloud ISP thing, this will restrictive people will not go for it. So AP will be customer controlled & owned devices. All the hype around 80211AC is not compelling, how many video sources are you going to stream around inside your home, 80211n allows at least two today, 80211AC bandwidth is only valid when you have a 802.11AC Client node in your home with four antennas and Beam forming mode. I still have 802.11g clients at my home, even with 80211n 3X2 AP.
