At least in the US, Jane also doesn’t really have a choice of her electricity provider, so she’s not getting bombarded with advertising from vendors selling “Faster WiFi” than the next guy. I don’t get to choose my method of power generation and therefore cost per kWh. I’d love to buy $.04 from the Pacific NW when I’m in the Southern US.
And that's why I suspect that 10Gbps to the home will become a reality not out of necessity, but out of a race on who can out-market the other. The problem for us as operators - which is what I was trying to explain - was that even though the home will likely not saturate that 10Gbps link, never mind even use 1% of it in any sustained fashion, we shall be left the burden of proving the "I want to see my 10Gbps that I bought, or I'm moving to your competitor" case over and over again. When are we going to stop feeding the monster we've created (or more accurately, that has been created for us)? Mark.
