Comment on Google Fiber goes big with 20-gig plan
kogasa@programming.dev 11 months agoYeah, man. Thank God someone is finally thinking about the family of 4 simultaneously watching 8K 120Hz 360 degree streams.
Also,
-
bandwidth isn’t the same as latency. This would not let you remote control “with minimal latency,” it would be exactly the same as it is with say 20Mbps download.
-
lossless and visually lossless compression dramatically reduces the amount of bandwidth required to stream video. Nobody will ever stream uncompressed video, it makes no sense.
-
If you want to know what an uncompressed 2K stream looks like, look at a 2K monitor.

Again, just because it isn't being done yet, doesn't mean it won't be. Every time technology progresses, we find new and interesting ways to fill the new space created by it.
Nobody thought it would ever make sense stream games over the internet with Nvidia Go (or whatever it's called), but it's being done. Nobody thought it would make sense to turn a browser into a nearly full operating system, but that's about done.
Genius, why didn't I think of that. Thanks for pointing that out.
