A short sighted entrepreneur is still short sighted
If the mix of the normal usage - email, music, video, Facebook, gaming, stays the same, but just happens faster - is there an economic or social benefit in that for the private user?

But the service mix won’t stay the same. It won’t.
We’ve done this before.
When we underwent the last speed jump from dialup to broadband, the service mix changed from static web pages and email to interactive web pages and rich media. If we manage this next jump from broadband (say 10-20 mbit) to NBN at 100 mbit, the service mix will change again. It will enable us to do things that we can’t even conceive right now.
People that don’t understand this will be left behind.
