Businesses usually drive infrstructure improvements

Whether you like it or not, businesses that pay thousands of dollars a month for multiple pipes to multiple IP backbones drive the investment in infrastructure, not home users and their (very) asymmetric cable or DSL connections at $40/month. Until more folks push the limits of their home connections (which the vast majority do not) and/or demand more symmetric (better upload) connections then I do not not see any bandwidth shortages on the horizon. There is still unused fiber that is yet to be lit here in the US AFAIK.

From what happened late last year with the earthquake and loss of connectivity in Asia, it is the Asia to US (and rest of world) where there appears to be a bandwidth shortage.
