There will always be some limitations... to that all that can be done is optomize and move on till the higher speed links come to the web users. Although any group might be able to team up with those that are offering high speed web services and help them get customers and help our cause also. A private network might be an alternative for generating funds and interconnections of computers also.
Although there maybe other alternative systems coming to the market. As both Machine speed/systems and links develope the tasks can be well defined and the AGI process can move forward. Some may want to understand the CNS/Brain process while others may decide to improve beyond the CNS/Brain biological process called thinking. To that I say computational cost of cpu time, instructions executed and resources will be important considerations of any configuration in AGI.
