The biggest problem is the device-to-brain interface, both hardware and
software. For interbrain communication, we are still at the point of not
knowing what to plug where.
Once we figure out what constitutes the "bits" of thought, then we can worry
about the IO port. Since the head is a messy place to do an implant, maybe
we can more easily tap a nerve bundle in the neck or an extremity. Initial
efforts may require the dedication of that nerve bundle to the new IO
function. You may be faced with choosing which extremity function you wish
to give up to accommodate the new IO. Hmm, sounds like DOS!
In any case, the first really big money will come from virtual
entertainment. Personally, I hope to be able to have my money with the guys
who write the first firewall code.
