Off the top of my head: true MMOFPS games would be possible (imagine a shooter game with hundreds/thousands/more people in the same game), HD 3D video would be streamable, long-distance surgery could become even more refined/exact, a whole plethora of software (and more specifically: data) that currently has to download/save to the harddrive it's operating on would suddenly be streamable...
Seriously, increasing bandwidth can literally change how software devs think and how we all operate.
@endauthority cuz wifi can only transfer 11Mbps and ethernet LAN can only transfer 100mbps (megabits per seconds) so u we havent even reached the 100 mbps LAN limit and theyr trying to jump to the Gbps?? that would mean u can download 120MB persecond 1GB=10 seconds etc... u would need a more capable computer tu handle all that data
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The limits aren't in the bandwidth and connection speed, they exist at the SERVER-side and will remain there for a very long time. Try serving 1000 people HD video at one time. You'll require pretty damn fast (and expensive) hardware. The average server or cluster or array of disks can barely handle several gigabit outputs at one time.
@imshaneh Of course, but first we need an open, safe (privacy respecting) neutral and widely used protocol for that to be successful. One that will not be controlled by some dumbass corporation or government.
@slonamu No, you are wrong. This speed will allow people like programmers to work all over the world and work on extremely large applications that would be too cumbersome to do over the web at this time.
this project will double the speed of communication technology!

What can gigabit do for you?
Very fast connection to neighbors. Seemingly slow connection to all existing websites.

USA Broadband is PATHETIC!!!
Even South Korea has much faster, cheaper & accessible Broadband.
AT&T and Verizon are killing us!!!
So much for "free enterprise" in America, which has become a slang word for "corporate/govn't subsidized exploitation."
America has become "Of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations."

Meanwhile, those of us that do need inexpensive, ultra-fast internet have to pay out the ass for local companies to install fiber optics.

The first 12 seconds of this video wasted my time. On the internet, videos should loads without time-sapping intros.

yes then when this comes out they gonna tell us... " u need a capable computer" so the people go and buy more!

@srtounez why would you need a capable computer for something that works outside of it?
all this does is send data to a router, works just like any other network, just faster

@srtounez thats the older ethernet youre talking about. modern ethernet is faster than usb 2.0
the point is, that local programming teams wont have to be local anymore
