> Who has 100 different streams in an average household? "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers"

  I don't seem to recall advocating we'd never need 1000Gbit to the home, I said we don't need it for MOST HOUSEHOLDS today.

    The cause is a bit cyclical though, isn't it? We don't need Gbit because most people don't use that much. But most people don't use that much because consumer apps/devices rarely need to use that much bandwidth. But consumer apps/devices are designed to not use that much bandwidth because the average consumer doesn't have Gbit internet. And the average consumer doesn't have Gbit because they don't use that much. Etc.

      > cyclical Commonly called a "chicken-and-egg" problem, or more often "circular" rather than "cyclical" despite the words being nearly synonyms. Just a vocabulary nit, not disagreeing with the point.
