With increased capacity comes increased usage. People will start streaming 40mbps videos to their multiple computers and TVs and then the system will still shit itself.

I for one want more capacity, but it's just going to end up back in the toilet because of programmers over-reliance on excess. I mean H.264 development probably wouldn't even have come about if this were present in the past and I personally fear what it will hurt in the future.

:edit:

Though, if it could end lossy content, that would be nice. Still I'd rather have more people involved in lossless standards than drop it because the network can handle it :happysad:
