Council of the EU sends proposal for faster construction of gigabit networks

2030 is of course still a long way to go and I can believe that 8k will become more standard by then (if you could now say that 4k is already a relative standard).
Only when the infrastructure is in place can you really start promoting things like working from home.
More time for the employee (no commuting), less traffic, fewer traffic jams, fewer accidents.
Or partly work from home. For example, at home for the first x hours and then at the office for a while to spread the traffic.

Also, by then the “gray population” will be much more tech savvy than the current “gray population”. The average nursing home will certainly have to have a gigabit (or more). And by the time I’m there, low latency for gaming too… (keeps you sharp at that age )

But also photos, videos, etc… will all become larger and more frequent. Maybe even take classes in virtual reality and such.
If the speed to data centers is high enough, it is also easier to centralize data storage and have it accessible from anywhere 24/7. (no, you don’t HAVE to, but you CAN – of course the average tweaker wants to have a nas and server at home)

I’m already looking forward to it – even though my 100mbit/30mbit VDSL connection is currently sufficient.
I have 4 kids and we can all watch Netflix/YouTube/Teams at the same time without any issues. But in the future???
