Re: gigabit is not aimed at the likes of you.

I think the point of the gentleman's post was that for most people the existence of gigabit ethernet is superfluous to needs, as implied in the article.

There was no need for rudeness.

I agree with his point. I used to look at what people were doing on their iPads, then iPhones when in transit as I was being assured that these then-new devices were tools of doing useful things on the move. All games, mostly stupid games too. These days it is video and texting/tweeting.

None of these requires gigabit ethernet.

It would seem on he face of it that gigabit ethernet is a solution looking for a problem. I have no doubt that the industry will find ways to fill the bandwidth. They always do.
