Man, I sure hope so. The implementation timeline is slower than it was in prior evolutions.
After stepping up in networks periodically (coax, then twisted pair with hubs, then 100mbps dual-speed switching hubs, then finally non-blocking 100mbps switches), I finally upgraded to gigabit ethernet at home because that had became cheap enough.
That last upgrade was 18 years ago, in 2008, and by that point I wasn't even an close to an early-adopter.
And now, 18 years hence: It seems absurd that the next 10x improvement is still not quite ready yet.
