I think it would be great if NASA and the genome projects, and pharmaceutical companies, and pretty much any big data would really push the distributed computing research model into the public space, target these high capacity connections. Fill these pipes up with everything you can imagine. make the audio/video component of candy crush and Farmville available as a 4k stream, even though it doesn't matter. The big problem is aside from big corporations, most businesses would have a hard time saturating even a 1gb connection without actually trying. Of course, as these massive pipes become more prevalent the software devs will get lazy and no longer care about efficiency, google tried to push the killer app thing, but luckily it didn't pan out either
