I'll just add that the elephant in the room is advertising. Advertising on the Internet - especially video clips, along with data collection, consume a large portion of the bandwidth for the average user. In professional environments/applications, it's not such a big deal, since they're not "surfing" sites with advertising, but for the millions and millions and millions of home users around the world, it's a big deal and affects their effective connection performance. There's currently a "race" to build faster (so-called "5G") networks and gigabit-per-second speeds. This is largely due to video uploading/downloading/streaming, but also to facilitate even more sophisticated and pervasive video advertising.
I remember back in the mid-nineties, when it became clear that the Internet would develop as a "free" service driven by advertising, with only a small monthly access fee. Here we are.
