You're stuck in a "one computer" mindset. 1Gbps opens all sorts of possibilities for time shifting video and multiple people watching IP video streams, not to mention everything else we do these days. |

Why would anyone need more than an 8088 when most people can't type more than 60wpm anyway? |

Because: the way that you support innovation is to get ahead of it.
Why does Intel and AMD put out processors BEFORE there are applications that need that much power?
The USA and Canada spent the 80s and 90s in leadership technology. Asia passed us in 2000 and this move by South Korea will help ensure that the USA and Canada will be chasing their taillights for decades to come.

1gbps is only around 90MB/s (actual) or 125MB/s (theoretical). The newer (regular drives) now have a sustained throughput of 100MB/s with some of the high end drives hitting 250MB/s. Those are both in a non raid configurations. A lot of current motherboards come with built in raid capability so you can almost double those numbers when raid0 is used. Since most of the computers sold in the last few years have GigE Ethernet ports the can make good use of this kind of speed. I have set up a lot of households up with cat6 cable and GigE switches so that they would have this kind of speed in house, for all kinds of large file transfers.
Now on top of that, add what was hinted at above about multiple users in one home. A lot of homes now have a computer for every member. Mom, Dad, Brother, and Sister all online a one time can bring your "average" 16Mbps connection to its knees pretty quick.
All the above is just for today. Think about the bandwidth requirements that a household will have when the 1Gbps system is completed (3-5 years with luck?). |

The plan calls for a total spending of 34.1 trillion won ($24.6 billion) over the next five years. The central government will put up 1.3 trillion won, with the remainder coming from private telecom operators. The project is expected to create 120,000 jobs.

1 edit | i'm not going to host google mind you.
to be honest, i'd probably lean more towards hosting game servers. |

| If you wanted to run a hosting business, you can already get a fiber connection to do that, and a lot more than 1GBps actually.
In fact most of the hosting companies I deal with have multiple redundant connections peered to several different backbones.
If you think you're going to run web hosting off your home internet connection, unless it's just pics of the kids for grandma, you're f'ing nuts. |

Lazlow's absolutely right. I may live alone, but I have computers for every room in the place! Imagine for a moment a "Tech Savvy" family! (pun intended) |

It's called QoS, and it works very well if you know how to use it
