There is no practical or commercial motivation for IB on consumer devices. Sure one may make a case that a home server or a media center can use IB to stream photos and movies to other devices. At this point, we have to stop and think like an average consumer and not an IT professional. And an average consumer prefers no wires forget running copper or fiber. And what benefit would it offer over wireless even if they were to run the cable? None from the consumer perspective. You can stream HD over wireless without any problems. Sure, we all prefer wired over wireless when available. But not in home, and not by an average consumer. Intel will integrate IB with their future processors, but they will not be consumer based SKUs.
