Will they really demand ubiquitous, unabridged connectivity?
When?
Probably around the time their phone, TV, books, shopping, and *life* are all delivered over that connectivity. Especially if they don't have any meaningful local storage or processing, as everything has been delegated to "the cloud". In practice, however, I suspect that we as providers will just get a whole lot better at providing connectivity, rather than have everyone work out how to do fully-diverse BGP from their homes. - Matt
