And what are we downloading? Is the cloud dead? Why do i need 15gbps on my phone? Is it made for consoles and their relentless 120gb patches?

    In the US we’ll do anything but build fiber with the billions we tossed at the telecom industry.

    One example I've read, was to remotely drive autonomous vehicles, and feed back all data collected from cameras and sensors. I'm not a fan of it being used this way, but it would mostly serve that kind of purpose.

    For home use, all I can think of is wireless video. 15 GB/s is faster than the fastest DisplayPort or HDMI versions. It could handle any resolution and refresh rate currently in use without any compression. That would be useful for VR headsets since they need low latency.

    Big data needs that, so it can spy you better.

    Everything, no, to move data quicker, no

  • For phones / portables, assuming it doesn't draw more power, it would mean shorter download times, which means less battery usage.

    Laptops have all but taken over from desktops for everything but AAA gaming. New houses are still built with zero Ethernet because "the internet is Wi-Fi right?" People are using their laptops to edit video off of a NAS, MacBooks can run 100 GB LLMs. Heck even non-AAA games are many gigabytes.

    More bandwidth available for users means more people can do more things on the internet and at a higher quality. If cell phone speeds are high enough, then we should be able to transition from wired internet which is not available to a lot of people to only using cell networks. It's also not going to be 15gbps per device.

    1.5gb/s is way more than enough for the average person. Hell, 200Mb/s is more than enough. That would only be 10 min.
