If you take a look at GNOM's costumers list you won't find 'people' there, rather the research community - big academic centers, institutions, and agencies. GNOM is focused on whole genome sequencing services and it is not alone. ILMN has it's own service network and is competing on price for large projects and BGI is another player that cannot be ignored.
Agree about your point that when the price is low enough, demand will increase but at current price and budgets cut, impact to GNOM might be negative near term.

>once the price is right, then medical treatments will probably follow<

Potential is there but not likely without having a CLIA certification (ILMN does have one) in a year or so.
