This web thingy....

The internet is going to have do a lot of maturing before it is ready for this kind of traffic. Security is always going to be a problem, connectivity is poor, and most business's are unwilling for their employees to have open access.
I use Google for a lot of my projects, but find speed is a major problem. Can get nowhere near advertised speed. I can see the potential, but can't think it is near to happening.
