The first thing I'd consider is what changed when we went from 100kbps to 100Mbps.
Now, we share complete video files and music files, whereas before we shared vector-like files such as Flash and MIDI.
What are we doing locally today that could not be sent over our current bandwidth?
Is it something that will affect telepresence, like all the 3D data needed to recreate a realistic environment in real time?
Is it about more accurate control of remote objects, like drones and robotic vehicles?
Maybe it will enable remotely connected computers to be more efficient clusters, taking advantage of unused cycles during off-peak hours.
I think the biggest impact isn't going to be what happens at the faster speeds that happen in best-case scenarios. It's what will happen when mobile devices in areas with poor reception can achieve 1Gbps reliably and consistently.
