I find the premise of the article completely out of touch with the growth environment of the last 40 years. Of course the median consumer don't have an application for more than what the current infra can offer, it has consistently been the case since broadband inception. The reason is simple, no one will create applications designed for the median consumer with requirements higher than what the infrastructure can offer as this is guaranteed to fail. I thought it was clear that it was a typical offer driven market. Reading this article I'm really afraid that we will shoot ourselves in the foot if we forget this. A bit like what is happening with CPUs.
