"You see, we are almost certainly moving towards"
I don't think the vision is practical if you have to continuously plug/unplug your devices. The wirelessHD spec has theoretical data rates up to 25Gb.
Latency matters for user input ( keyboard/mouse) which is already accommodated at much lower bitrates, so I wouldn't expect it to be much of an issue.
Not really, as long as those latencies stay significantly sub-second they're invisible to users. These latencies matter for everything but user input.
exactly.
You can't really state that something doesn't matter, and then give criteria under which it doesn't matter. That implies that it does matter, and the solution needs to be engineered within spec.
I'd also be interested in some examples of the "everything else" cases in which latency is a big deal ( within the given context).
