Assuming those are low latency links the line between the edge and the datacenter would be blurred. For instance it might be possible to train an LLM or have a supercomputer for weather models by combining thousands of nodes across the Internet, rather than having them all racked together. Multiple university campuses could easily combine their clusters and so forth.
In addition we could send more raw data to the cloud for processing, rather than having it done locally. For example a cheap VR headset with no GPU could simply send raw position and control data to a cloud server, which would stream back stereo video back to the headset with little compression or latency. Or say a large surveilance system could send the footage from thousands of cameras and sensors directly to the cloud without requiring any initial processing on the edge. You could make devices smaller, lighter, and consume less power at the cost of having all the compute done off site.
