How about this? Show me 10 users in the average neighborhood creating content at 5 mbps....Period. Only realistic app I see is home surveillance but I don't think you want everyone accessing that anyway. The truth is that the average user does not create content that anyone needs to see. This has not changed throughout the ages, the ratio of authors to readers, artists to art lovers, musicians to music lovers, YouTube cat video creator to cat video lovers, has never been a many to many relationship.
The neighborhood getting together on Facetime to plot how to spend their days after the husbands have gone off to work comes to mind.

Even in that case, Mark, you have a conference call where each person is sending a stream out to a rendezvous point that is then sending it back to N people where N is the number of people in the chat -1. So the downstream bandwidth will be N*upstream for each of them. Owen
