I don't think badwidth will end the need for local storage. Security will always be a concern. I don't
want my tax return stored on any server other than the IRS's. I want my personally created, personally sensitive docs at home.


See now, *I'm more comfortable storing those kinds of things at my ISP or wherever, where professional administrators are getting up to the minute security alerts and applying patches (and keeping backups).

Your way is akin to keeping your finances at home under your mattress instead of using a bank. Why are you comfortable with your tax return on the IRS server?

Once your PC (local storage) is connected to the network, it loses it's security aspect.
