We already have internet conections that can download a movie over a commercial break (in less than 30 seconds), are people really going to cough up more money to save 29.7 seconds?

I can see it's use in the military or business sectors, but not in the private.
Internet browsing is not the only thing.

It would greatly increase the speed of downloads. It would be a huge breakthrough for mmo games. We could certainly use more improvement in speed. It probably won't do much for those that just check there e-mail, but in other areas it will be a great advancement.
