The moment internet connections don't keep up with Moore's Law, the real estate typhoons would then have no choice but to fund bandwidth-related R&D to get internet connections back on track with the requirement before they could sell more homes.
I have no idea what the future hold but a typical VR movie is ~20gig
I'm not saying VR is going to take off but maybe streamed AR virtual presence might and it will require more bandwidth than today's video.

And even if that doesn't, something always comes up that needs more bandwidth.
They say we'll have "unlimited" energy but it's really not unlimited, it can be petawatts but it's still finite, and people will invent new devices that will drain all of the fusion fuel as well instead of powering our current lifestyle.
People won't own cars, they'll fly themselves everywhere because it's "okay" to consume megawatts per person, and we'll end up draining all the oceans of their deuterium.
It's exactly what happened when oil was discovered, it was thought of as an "unlimited" energy source in the days of horses.
On the plus side fusion energy is carbon-clean, but its fuel is most certainly finite.
You in 2010 about 10 Mbit/s, probably.
Okay, with less snark, having the capacity just opens up so much more opportunities. Imagine live streaming VR, hosting a video conferencing server, working with remote drives etc.. It really makes no sense to limit our data connections by current use cases, when current use cases are limited by our current data connections. Especially since there is no technical reason to do so.
