2 Gbps chips have been already demonstrated years ago. Imec from Belgium just showed a 7 Gbps chip (http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4372113/IMEC-transce...). It looks like we will have 60GHz technology in our mobile phones soon but probably it will be short range as a replacement to Bluetooth considering the high attenuation and human-blockage characteristics of 60 GHz waves. It is interesting to think of possible applications that can make use of this large bandwidth in short range. We will probably see some digital kiosks in airports to buy and download movies in a few seconds.

How about a TV with no input / output wires to the various devices? Or a better AirPlay for tv's

Sync non-cloud data to your desktop/laptop/house computer wirelessly once you walk inside or outside your house.

This technology isn't exactly new but it seems like now it is coming to market. I think the implications of this in mobile phones could be huge, especially for peripherals such as Google Glasses, Sixth Sense, etc. The more I think about it, this could be huge for the wireless personal electronics space.

I love the name of the center that developed the chip:

Virtus IC Design Centre of Excellence
