the importance of faster micro processors vs the importance of bandwidth on the internet.
They are linked but not dependent. xDSL technology will bring higher bandwidth to the home, initially 1.5 mbps (50X current modem technology) going quickly to 8 mbps. This will open the door to high bandwidth, wide distribution content. There will be a substantial rampup to develop the infrastructure to actually handle the traffic once the pipes start to go in. Likewise, very high (gigabit) internal network technology will make possible routine use of more complex content on corporate LANs.

All of this is good news for Intel. The end users will want more processing power, both to use the content and to execute more advanced compression/decompression technology. All of the internal points will need more power to do advanced data dependent routing and content management. Servers to actually hold the content will need bigger and more powerful processing, routing, clustering, and storage interconnects.
