Symmetric internet links will be a big deal, if they ever happen - right now most places seem to be 8Mbit downstream and 1Mbit upstream - once symmetric high-bandwidth applications become popular p2p technologies can really start taking off.

What symmetric high bandwidth applications?

I can't think of any consumers that want to upload as much as they download.
