What would you do with a 100mbit/s or 1Gbit/s connection?

It would be very much helpful in Video conferencing with our abroad clients & partner giving real life like discussion without any loss in voice/images.Video conferencing with high quality video would also be helpful in medical field for performing operations (like 3 Idiots 
).It would also be helpful for HDTV streaming.Also it would be helpful in faster movement of huge data (if not porn/games/movies ) for various organisation.

Finally real time gaming on such high bandwidth networks which of course would normally have low latency to international servers as well.Otherwise when i actually gave a though about this i don't really need such high speed connections to download movies or whatever. This speed would just improve my overall online experience while browsing & help downloading that really needed file in a very short time or even office VPN flawlessly.

These kinds of things are along the lines of what we had in mind - though considering there will be IPTV (HD and SD) bandwidth is more-or-less moot: the system can handle that any which way.
However, voice/video conferencing should still work fine even on 10mbit/s or less.
it could help small businesses reach out to International clients....just like SVK said, video conferencing...and maybe to watch legally available HD videos...

Ok. Anything else other than a glorified TV?

Having 1gbit/s is not necessarily going to magically give you ping times of 60ms to the USA or Europe. They should be far better than existing ISPs -

haha. i doubt a cybercafe in india can afford to spend around 1 lakh on just the broadband bill.

with the rates hovering between 15-25 rupees for one hour of connectivity...
though it can be worth it if the owner can lure gamers and downloaders

For a 50-seat cafe?
with the rates hovering between 15-25 rupees for one hour of connectivity...
though it can be worth it if the owner can lure gamers and downloaders
At Rs15/hour, assuming 70% of the seats are in use at any one time and assuming the cafe is open say 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, I'm pretty sure they could afford it (525*10*28), but they don't even have to get a 100mbit/s connection - they could get a 50mbit/s connection for less than 60k which would still be more than ideal for gaming. Or if they had a smaller cafe (say 20 seats), they would pay even less for the connection.
But this isn't the point of the thread.
I want to know what you'd use a 100mbit/s or 1gbit/s connection for. Frankly, I'm finding the answers a bit disappointing, considering India is supposed to be all innovative and whatnot. Downloading, Streaming Video, Gaming, Videoconferencing, Business Opportunities, VPNs etc are all fairly obvious uses in my opinion. Think of some possibilities that could be opened up if bandwidth were not a problem for you.

well the fact remains... 100mbps is useless in the indian market. why? because of the lack of services like netflix and Amazon video on demand around here. of course, bittorrent can be used in their place. legitimate uses in homes are far and few for such a high speed connection. though for businesses, there are good uses.

I would have hoped that someone would take the enterprising step and think about starting such a service. I was at a conference in 2009 in Mumbai with a speaker who was talking about just that, but the problem was the lack of bandwidth for consumer internet connections in India to support it.
Ultra-high speed Internet is only as useless as you think it is. In Finland, they gave the us copious amounts of bandwidth and we/they (usually startups) built services to use it. Some worked, Many didn't. I would hope that the same can happen in India: people just need to have ideas of how they can use it if we remove the bandwidth barrier.
There are millions of MBAs and people with ideas around - Indians are doing great things in countries where bandwidth is available, but you can't seriously tell me no-one back home in India want's to do the same. I'd love to see a Netflix-like service, and we're already looking at a 400+ title strong library for VoD, but there must be other applications you can think of other than a glorified TV experience.
