I don&#x27;t think he&#x27;s saying no one needs gigabit fiber <i>period</i>, rather not everyone needs gig <i>right now</i>, which is demonstrably true.<p>Even 4k is doable without gig using HEVC (50Mbps is typical ref: Wikipedia) and when uncompressed a gig isn&#x27;t enough.<p>Gig is cool and all but there are fairly large parts of the US where 10-30Mbps+ download with reasonable latency (not satellite) and no data caps (not cell) would be a gamechanger.
