More to the point, the Internet porn industry would, like always, lead the way.
Porn webcam sites would be replaced by porn high-quality streaming video
sites, and the massive throughput offered by Verizon fiber would make it a
practical possibility for the home user.
This will also, I'm sure, have some rather drastic effects on security for
Internet connections, as many more bare-assed Windows machines with no real
protection would have a lot more bandwidth, allowing them to pick up and run
more potentially dangerous malware. Make sure your firewall is in tip-top shape
by the time this comes to pass.
