That's my point. Once you have a gigE *to* your house *from* the web, each website has ample capacity to feed all its customers at that bit-rate, and you've got the ability to feed it to all your rooms, and it can all be done wirelessly to places beyond your house--all of which is possible right now, just kind of expensive--then: Moore's law is at a dead end. Right now we're just seeing what price the market will bear. Will it be $20/month or $400/month? Each geographic region in the world will have somewhat different price points but it won't keep getting better/cheaper in the geometric way it has in the past. -rich
