According to Nielsen&#x27;s law of bandwidth, consumer gigabit last mile should be common by now and 10G would be a logical next step development, becoming ubiquitous in 2020 or so.<p>There&#x27;s a huge number of houses with idle fiber installed 10+ years ago.  Gigabit ethernet was introduced 17 years ago and carries 5 km over fiber. Cable is just waiting for providers to switch on 10 Gbps since years ago. Phone line copper has similar story..<p>Maybe something like this could jump-start the stalled development of last-mile consumer internet.
