I'd say its more of an infrastructure issue than an implementation issue, at least in the US where consistent uninterrupted broadband access is still kind of a giant clusterfuck in many places due to de facto regional monopolies and ISPs not feeling much pressure due to real competition.

No amount of delivery tech is going to make up for the infrastructure being unfit for purpose in so many areas.

I am symmetrical gigabit fiber internet with an Eero 6 Pro in the U.S., and the lag is quite robust. I don't see a way of solving that.

And, as you say, a lot of people don't have access to high-quality internet, and there is no reason to believe they will any time soon.

Wireless internet will always make lag unbearable for that kind of stuff.

But surely the main use case for cloud gaming that can be played anywhere is over a wireless connection?
