Infinite bandwidth (taking into account the speed of light) for most business would mean nothing more than the ability to transfer more on the fly to the client end. Running AutoCAD or some crazily heavy application as a server-client would be very much possible across the internet. Then cloud computing can literally take over desktop (or wouldve be able to spot the difference with that kind of bandwidth)
None of these are bandwidth issues.1. Can already watch shows on demand from the cable company. The problem: the selection is limited due to storage capacity. You can do this with music which has way smaller files. <a class="user" href="http://www.napster.com">http://www.napster.com</a>2. Can do this at Circuit City among others. The problem: having to pick up at the return counter and waiting behind dozens of people returning broken TVs.3. This sentence doesn't really make sense. Still, the bandwidth is already there, what's lacking is the software and content.4. Bandwidth exists, but do you like your ISP enough to let them keep all your stuff? And what if you move? I'm pretty sure Verizon wouldn't transfer it. In any case, it's a problem of storage again, not bandwidth.5. Even in Korea where people have crazy mobile bandwidth people don't use video phones. The problem: people just don't seem to like looking at people and being looked at over the phone.
