I think you're going one step ahead here.

what has been said is true, running a network 24/7 can't really be done from your bedroom, unless your bedroom has clean air and electricity and it's cool enough.

Even if 100% of the people had the technical know how, it would be hard to keep up with your servers, what about if they go down in the middle of the night?

Even now, there is a lot of home users (read somewhere that around 85% of internet users?not sure of this figure) that are on the sloppy 56k accounts. I think that there will be a middle stage where internet for the home gets faster, when a 95% of the users get broadband...

then comes the BIG pipes

this will allow the integration of telecomm services into 1, television, telephone etc, they can be hosed down a really quick pipe and sent to a suscriber's house...

Think about the future of the adult web...

1.- one on one live feeds, a winner
2.- renting movies over the pipe (anonimous and instantaneous with a 1 gig pipe)
3.- multiple broadcast live feeds (same as #1 actually)

and so on...

Now, by the time the usual people gets the big pipes, what would be the ruling processor? 25 Gigahertz? with 100 gigs of RAM and a couple TB harddrives?

what would be the average PC?

and the list keeps going on...

Sorry if I rambled a bit, but it's 3 am here and I've been at it for 20 straight hours
