>- in what ungodly scenario would a consumer need 1gbps speed on their desktop, let alone on their phone. I consider myself a power internet user (I own an ISP), and even I can't think of many scenarios where I would need more than 50 Mbps of internet speed for a sustained period of time. On demand streaming of game worlds would be a possible application imo. So instead of downloading the entire game you don't install the world locally but download it as you need it. This could give access to terabyte-sized worlds if done properly. Honestly these would be new markets rather than existing ones.
