Optical fiber to connect the computer...

[Aptspire]

The title says most of it, it's coming in 2010 (maybe) and here's the plus:
simplified connections
most likely coming up on Apple
80 GB/sec streaming information
in other words, the Game Streaming technology is actually very realistic. Now all we need is an internet provider who will sell it for cheap.

Sources?

I think that's highly unlikely... The UK government is planning to get "Up to 2Mbps" to all UK homes. So that seems just a bit off the scales.

Edit: I call shenanigans.

Good luck, getting it going and replacing the miles and miles of existing lines, and good luck loosening the stranglehold some providers have in certain areas.

80 GB/sec streaming information

Source or I call bullshit. Firstly because data transfer is measured in Mb per seconds (Lower case b, yes there is a HUGE difference, 80 GB/s = 640 Gb/s), and second of all because current commercial connections don't even come close to registering on a gigabit scale. 10 Megabits/second (0.0097 Gigabit/s) is considered an unreasonably fast domestic connection.
