I think you're aiming way too low if your standard of quality is a /. summary.

No one will ever need more than 640K.

If you build it, they will come.

Look, you may not need 100 or 1000 Mbps now. But what about when you want to stream 3D content? Or what if we start streaming lossless J2K videos, instead of the super compressed HD video you get now? The point of the Google "experiment" is to see what is possible when this type of bandwidth is available. They are trying to bypass the chicken/egg problem. On the other hand, it's not likely that such a small scale deployment will spur any of the large scale investment that will really take advantage of that bandwidth, as such an investment would need a whole country (or at least state) of consumers to make it worthwhile.

Oh shit, I'm doing this backwards, aren't I.

I think a preschooler who watches Mythbusters probably has a leg-up on the average American adult.

Really? 7% interest per week? From someone named Pirateat40? You're right. Seems legit.

Can't it be both?

(It's not; I totally glossed over the spelling mistake.)

I see what you did there. Fundamentalists stone adulterers and bad spellers, amirite?

I see what you did there.
