Internet access - broadband 2.0

The Internet is now firmly part of our everyday life. We perform many common tasks online, such as banking, grocery and gift shopping and purchasing travel or cinema tickets. Plus we get a growing portion of our entertainment from online sources: entertainment and social networking. If we are to continue doing more online, our need for bandwidth will increase. It might be very convenient if future Internet access were wireless. Benchmarking against upcoming wireless standards showed these were biased towards small screen mobile content delivery, i.e. they are not attempting to address the challenge of the Broadband 2.0 requirements for delivery of HD services to the home.
