35 Years of Internet: what next?

I see DSL ready TV's with services available for unlimited selections of ready to view movies, documentaries, music videos, etc along with real time online class rooms. I also see this as the last hurrah of the television networks, at least as we see them today.

At the moment, at least definatly in England, we running on old copper phone lines installed over the last 50 years.
DSL has been a technology 'trapped' on top of it which means most of the UK can't get more than 500Kb/s.
To start getting people to watch TV online the quality will have to be better, One Stream of HDTV over the web would require 10Mb/s Connection minimum, then add someone on a voip call, browsing the web, kids playing online games, radio on, mp3's downloading and the network requirements are getting closer to 100Mb/s.
Until new networks are rolled out that are 'initially' designed to cope with massive amounts of Switched IP Traffic the real high speed internet wont arrive.
Two questions arise from this though,
1. If its possible to have 100Mb/s in your home what do you do with it and do DOS attacks get worse with compromised systems and does even more spam and rubbish get sent out?
2. If everyone had 100Mb/s to their home what kind of equipment would service providers be using.
Lets toast this agreement with the adding of chocolate to milk.

I heard this on the radio this morning:
The Internet turns 35 this week. But it's telling all users that it's a 20-year-old member of a boy band.

TANSTAAFL!!

I don't think that infinite internet media is going to be available any time soon. What with the way the various music and movie trade groups are acting and the latest attempts to block even fair use backups of copyrighted material, I think this is going to be one of those things that could have happened much sooner. In other words I think it will happen one day, but not in the foreseeable future and not without a lot of revision to current copyright laws and such.

A good group to ask your questions would be Reykjavik's city-owned enery company, Reykjavik Energy. Reykjavik Energy is working on fiberoptic to the curb for all homes in the city.

Had a look at that sleipnir, very intresting. From the point of view of a Service provider though, what kind of switches or routers can handle this kind of traffic?
I know big backbone switches from foundry/extreme/cisco etc would not cope with this kind of traffic, also the cost of such devices can be astronomical. It just means im jealous because icelands gets fibre to the home before me
