The elephant in the gigabit network room
Getting to gigabit networks isn't a cheap proposition, and once they are deployed, they generally cost more than the average person can afford.
This creates a chicken-and-egg problem around building applications that could help network adoption. Why build if there's no audience?

YouTubes ContentID Piracy Filter Wreaks Havoc
YouTube describes its Content-ID anti-piracy filter as a state-of-the-art technology, but those who look closely can see that in some cases it creates a huge mess.
The system invites swindlers to claim copyright on other peoples videos and make money off them through ads. It automatically assigns thousands of videos to people who dont hold the copyrights, and its take-down process appears to be hugely biased towards copyright holders.
