This all sounds very interesting, but why does the average everyday user need 1000 times more data speed?

I don't want to sound like Thomas Watson ('I think there is a world market for about five computers.'), but we're already able to send full live video streams with decent reliability, a 5 or 10 fold increase in speed would probably mean doing this with incredible fidelity. What could we possibly do with 1000 times as much.

I think that is a bigger challenge in getting the mobile carriers to implement it. How would the average user benefit. However, if their is a business that needs a 1000x increase in speed, that is likely a much more likely plan for roll-out.
