How are you going to come up with a standard that covers both the uplink from
Billy-Bob's Bait, Fish, Tackle, and Wifi, where a fractional gigabit may be
plenty, and the size pipes that got clogged in the recent Netflix network
neutrality kerfluffle?

And where your PoPs are (and how many) matters as well - if you have a peering
agreement with another carrier, and you exchange 35Gbits/sec of traffic, the
bandwidth at each peer point will depend on whether you peer at one location,
or 5, or 7, or 15.....
