Questions for experts

1 - In your area of expertise (education, government, business, consumer-use, etc.) do you feel that the California speed tiers are still accurate for present-day applications?

2 - What would you project these speed-requirements will be in 2015, and what is the basis for your projection?

3 - Are there applications that are missing from this list, and if so what speeds would they require both today and in 2015?
