In addition does anyone think these faster connections will change the adult biz? Whats everyones thoughts?
Don't forget that Verizon is one of the big players in pushing the elimination of "net neutrality." What this will mean is that any content provider (that's all of us, pretty much) who wants to have their content received via the new, faster connection speeds will now have to pay an additional monthly or yearly charge to every major pipeline provider (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) to guarantee that their content isn't streamed at some dialup 56kbs speed while those who pay the extortion money get streamed at the 30 MBs rate.

Maybe a few big pockets like Larry Flynt will be able to subsidize all these new higher "pay-to-play" contracts (and of course FOX News, Google, Yahoo, etc. will pay up), but most will just be shut out of the fastest streaming speeds due to it being unaffordable.
