Yeah.  Lots of people running the X server on their cellphones.
Especially those killer, graphics-intensive FPS games.

Don't forget that many networks run on 100BaseT, some on gigabit.
There's _a lot_ of bandwidth; and when fiber becomes mainstream there
will be even more. 

I will admit, it's nice to consider bandwidth issues.  I know that
emacs runs fine across an x forward on a 56k modem :)
