lol download speed will be on terabytes (or terabits whichever its correct) per second because of this wow

Actually... this really only has application between major data nodes at very short distances (1km) and is point-to-point only. Mostly useful within a single business/research campus. Its quite unlikely to be applied in the "last mile to the house" networking any time in the foreseeable future. In fact in the US, our "last mile" is still mostly many generations *behind* for much of the country.

FORTY PERCENT of the United States households don't have reasonable access to broadband at all.

Where broadband is being deployed recently in the US, it is using land wireless technologies like WiMAX which cannot make use of the OAM technique.
