Demand for services will push the whole thing along. No demand = no development of product. If the demand exists, then product will be developed to match it. 1 Gbps network interfaces are very common. It would seem that it is not a huge stretch to expect that interfaces to a 1Gbps fibre is not too difficult to manage. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au

Will an individual server be capable of servicing many customers at once, at this speed (1Gbps), in the near future Trevor?

If, say, a movie supplier was set up to provide movies to consumers, it would not be a stretch for them to set up their system to provide such speeds. Do you REALLY believe that 1Gbps is beyond the abilities of suppliers within the next few years? -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au

A video farm? 1 customer at 1Gbps? 100+ customers at 1Gbps? 1000+ customers at 1Gbps? More? This may be a big ask in the foreseeable future.

Look at it from the customers viewpoint. Do they really require delivery at that speed? IMU current highest quality movies require 8Gb which will take eight seconds to deliver. So allowing 10secs per movie, roughly 720 customers could receive the movie in the two hour time it takes to play on a 1GBps pipe from the supplier. The internet currently has the technology(multicast) built in to supply the same signal to as many of more customers at the same time. It is just a matter of receiving software and probably upgrading some intermediate boxen (if that).
