Goodbye internet, whatever did we do without you?

I think the bigger issue will be that there will be "haves" and "have nots". So, say you had a really great idea for some dot com startup. Your success may depend on who you know with fast bandwidth, or if your VC angel investors are willing to shell out the $$ for high speed. But, not so much importance on the quality of your idea. Or, maybe it's just a hobby site where now you are forever riding the coach section of the slow bandwidth bus.

Anyway, it will tend to bifurcate the internet. There will be an information superhighway, and the back roads off the beaten track, way out in the boonies, take a left, wade through that swamp, climb rickety ladder into the tree fort, swing on the rope over the river ravine, and there is where the rest of the net will be found.
