Keep history in context here. We used to measure bandwidth in *bits* per second. ...

There *will* be a day when we measure bandwidth in gigabits per second, and megabits are entirely irrelevant in day to day discussion. Will I live to see it? I very much believe so. All the providers will be bragging about their new leeto terrabit connections to the interwebs, etc. Heck, who knows if hosting providers will exist as we know them today in the future.

great post

interesting to think of what the content will be that will be moving on those connections and require so much bandwidth... will everything we do be in super HD just because we can? will we be streaming multiple feeds at the same time just for the fuck of it? how are we going to use up and waste all that bandwidth?
