Would be interesting to see how they price the services when it opens up to the public. The fact that it's "oh so better than your regular interwebs" would tempt the service providers to price it horribly, the way the so called 'broadband' providers did when it was new to the market of users using dial-up networking.

10,000 times the speed 10,000 times the price

I think that nowadays fiber optic network is fast enough. Ask your Internet provider for optic channel and see the difference (you can send a full BRD for less then a hour to your neighbor)

Its not like viruses need any time to load anyway. If speed was the only issue malware and viruses had to deal with we'd be screwed.
Yeah but I can't think of how many times I was somewhere and thought, WTF?@? as something was trying to load or a page was acting odd. ALT+F4, lol.
