The bigger problem is telecoms won't sell any bandwidth. So everything will have to shared via sneaker net.

As in shuffing around our terabytes of "illicit" storage by hiding terabyte thumbdrives in our sneakers?

Well if we're still capped at say broadband speeds, just driving down the street with your 50TB cellphone doesn't seem like much of a loss.

Maybe we should allow net neutrality to fall, increase socialization as a result :-) lol.

:.:.:

Also no, sneaker net means a network transported by feet not wires. But I do like the joke, or I pray its a joke not a prophesy.
