I don't think that was the point of the presention. Regardless, I can tell you that 5Mbps is enough for voice. :) For video, it depends on the quality. > I'm just asking - if people are more productive, > despite the obvious lack of bandwidth, and > despite the step back to a contention medium, > is there something to be said about the > perceived need for 100 megabits to the desktop? I agree with Fred, such a perception is probably misguided in most cases. Most people are very happy even with their 1.5Mbps DSL line. But all this depends on what you want to do. Full-screen DVD quality video won't work over DSL. Even online gaming could use more than 1.5Mbps. FWIW, I've heard that in Korea, there is a serious market for dedicated 100Mbps connections to the *home* due to wide-spread online gaming (I don't know if this is true, I find it a bit hard to believe). Also consider that pure 10Mbps Ethernet interfaces are getting pretty rare; most of the Ethernet interfaces are 10/100. So in a campus network, in most cases, there is no real reason to not have 100Mbps to the desktop.
