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

err.. Its a indian porno website sm guy was spaming ibf sm time bak he posted a link frm it thr smone had id like urs nd promoting hayai but since ur saying its nt u so..idk prby shld ch btw thats th 1st time i saw tht website too
It's probably the same person who was spamming all those other forums. Some people obviously have nothing better to do with their lives.
This is where the argument for distributed ID mechanisms comes in whereby, for example, all sites running vbulletin would automatically reserve the name mgcarley for me because I'd registered here (for example)... but that in itself is a double edged sword - if someone knew your password to one site, they'd be able to use it on ALL sites and, well, you can imagine the havoc.
The next option would be a private key, but most people don't know how to handle that kind of thing. Or to write to every single forum owner in the world and ask them to reserve my username (like admin, root etc is usually reserved), but that's both impractical and impossible

holy cow.
Ya, it's pretty huge.
Anyway, back to the topic...
First thing that comes to my mind when I think about 100 Mbps / 1 Gbps - streaming. Definitely HD!
I'm getting bored of downloading stuff these days.

You're misinterpreting what I've said - I mean different mediums, as in, I should be able to have the original on CD *AND* a digital copy for my ipod/phone/etc, because damned if I'm going to carry around a discman.
Physical mediums like CDs are a dying breed. Digital is the future. As long as I can use my digital content on any of my own devices, I will be happy.
Mature is relative - I've had Gmail for the better part of 7 years now, Google Docs for probably 4 (it came out in '07 or '08, didn't it?) - it seems pretty mature to me. Likewise with iTunes/ dot mac/ mobile me/ whatever Apple is calling it's service these days. Yes, they have outages, but that's a risk you take.
When I say matured, I am referring to the OS. Right now OSs like windows, OSX, iOS are not optimised for the cloud. As long as the OS is not optimised for the cloud, cloud computing will not take off in a big way.
Android OS is the only one which has begun to be cloud friendly.
Also, mobile Internet connectivity is the one thing which needs to get higher speeds as mobile devices are going to be the devices that are going to be the future of computing.

You know that, I know that, but that's not the point. The original point is that I should be allowed, as a license holder, to have a copy of that content on any medium or mediums I choose, so if I have the CD, I should be able to rip it to my iPod or if I have the MP3/AAC version, I should be allowed to write that to a CD-R for my car stereo.
Etc.

Android was designed that way from scratch. Everything else is 10-ish years old BUT there are OSes out there which are perfect for the cloud - they're just even older.
What a lot of you youngsters don't seem to realize is that we're seeing the reversion of computing power and storage of information away from our own devices back to the cloud, or what would have been referred to up until about 1995 as "mainframes".
Also, mobile Internet connectivity is the one thing which needs to get higher speeds as mobile devices are going to be the devices that are going to be the future of computing.
Mobile devices as they are are largely fine - 7mbit/s should be roughly sufficient for your average cloud service. But the networks almost never deliver that.
They're up to the stage now that wired networks were at back in the early 90's when an entire office would run on a 4mbit/s Token-Ring or 10mbit/s 10Base2 network with co-ax cable running along the wall and T-joiners at each machine; or, if you were really lucky, 10BaseT with the Cat5 cables we know and recognize today.
Of course, today's wireless networks are also much more complex and support far more users per segment/cell/bts/etc than any of those old networks could have done.

Nuit incroyable.
Download HD movies, Porno's (ofcourse HD ones), can't think of more.

That's pretty unimaginative. What happens when you're bored of movies and you're otherwise a bit... raw?
There must be other things you can think of to do online, keeping in mind that having 100mbit/s available doesn't necessarily mean you have to try and soak up 100mbit/s all the time. The main argument for me to have 100+mbit/s is simply to not have to wait when I do actually want to download something, otherwise my line can sit idle for 23+ hours a day for all I care - it's there when I need it.
There are plenty of things that would only require a few megabits to run nicely and/or services that just aren't available in India because the speeds are not there, but the bonus of having 100mbit/s in this case would be that you can watch a Youtube video in HD and your brother's online gaming wouldn't be affected... or something like that.
Although I think the "killer app" for 100mbit/s broadband is currently the ability to multitask or have multiple users simultaneously accessing it (this will change in a few years, I'm sure), personally, I'm a little bit disappointed that more people aren't talking about expanding their horizons with a bit of education or maybe create their own content (independent music & videos) or start a business (all hail the bedroom-based startup) - or better still, do something to help others in some way (and I don't mean downloading movies for them!) or even combining all of the above.
Indians are generally pretty innovative, and with higher amounts of bandwidth being made available, I think website design and interaction could improve - real estate developers could put 3D models of their new projects on the web to help them sell, then there's e-governance and administration, electronic medical records, better banking & e-commerce as well as the aforementioned e-learning.
And maybe e-tickets on trains and planes could actually BE electronic tickets, rather than the current idea of an e-ticket which is basically a ticket that I printed myself... but then again, maybe that's more a mentality change than an infrastructure change. I don't want to say that "business could/should/will totally go paperless" as people in the west have been wrongly predicting for years, but certainly when it comes to many things there could be huge reductions in the amount of actual paper-based paperwork.
