Drifting off-topic, but those are 'raw' data rates. Compression algorithmsalong with motion-estimation allow you to get full-screen video down to ~1.5 Mbps with not much in the way of image quality loss.
That puts you into DSL/Wireless range.
As always, it gets down to doing the math, something may dot bombers weren't (aren't) very good at. AOL/Time Warner is just the first major example of this 'not yet ready for prime time' business plan. Not to mention the effect everyone on AOL going to broadband and downloading Disney clips all the time would have on their settlement plans with backbone providers. When fiber-to-the-curb is the norm we'll be able to 'Ride the Light' Until then, your mileage may vary. You might also see some change in settlement plans and consumer pricing about that same time.
I think you'll see it long before every house has fiber run to it. My 2 cents anyway. -Chris -- \\\|||/// \ StarNet Inc. \ Chris Parker \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless! \ Director, Engineering | @ @ | \ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\------------------------------------------------------ \ Wholesale Internet Services - http://www.megapop.net
