Hopefully, the necessity for a more bandwidth will breakdown conventional current concepts and models from the big telecom, opening the way for innovation from smaller faster moving companies, We need some new competition, and some deregulation in the US. The current model it too expensive and US companies are getting wiped in comparison with companies from other countries.
The article says back ups will only occur over wifi. I assume that will be the bulk of the bandwidth icloud needs.
