"I'm partly invoking Sod here - hoping I'll be proved wrong by a buoyant economy and increased inter-connectivity"
According to the Economics editor of the BJS, the arrival of the grid in August is 'the best thing we've got to stave off global economic depression once again", which is why its use by us mere mortals is possibly closer than you speculate. It will singlehandedly revolutionise all computer reliant industry. Developers of web content and enetertainment will no longer be confined to what can be acheived and delivered on aged telecomms apparatus, datat transfer will be like nothing ever experienced before. Entire films can be transmitted around the globe simultaneously, thereby ushering in a new era of online, TV and movie entertainment, as well as finally marrying the music intractably with the moving image that accompanies it. Cloud computing will replace local computing, so developers will have a whole new set of freedoms to create new technology software, and on top of all that it will no longer be free, so the sheer amounts of revenue this will create globally, and for country-based profit centres will be phenomenal.
So from what I've read, its either a case of the world goes face first into the proellors of GED, or they start licensing access to this system and we get catapulted into the 21st century at long last.
