Question Will some webmasters get squeezed out?

I wonder what the impact will be when the higher speeds eventually allow the streaming of full-screen video in very high quality.

Programs may be able to offer full-screen video samples in their FHG and HFS, and POTD and MOTD plug-ins, but will most gallery and free site builders be able to afford the hosting costs to serve full-screen video to the surfers who'll start to demand it?

And will the free sites and galleries with only photo content or small movie clips, be able to attract and convert surfers anymore?

Will higher speeds mean the end of the small independent builder/submitter?
