    gm, a very small % of the population love to download files which they will never watch/access/listen to - like people collecting 17,000 iTunes.

    Then there are a very few businesses that could use the bandwidth for sending large files to customers/suppliers - the print industry comes to mind, but printers are advancing so rapidly that soon there will be high quality printers available cheaply enough for any business to own - and the internet is reducing the reliance upon leaflets as a means of advertising anyway.

    Finally there are the assumed high usage uses which don't really exist - people talk about sending medical scans across the net but these are only b/w images and very small files - even a 10GB file (which is HUUUUGE, a complete set of brain scans with enhancements is < 700MB) would only take 1,000 seconds on a 100Mbs link. 17 minutes.

    So basically, no-one who couldn't afford a decent wireless link from their business if they really wanted high speeds (higher than the nbn will provide) which is why it is a huge waste of money.
