If we continue along orders of magnitude, sure it's foreseeable.
* 30 years ago, 300 baud was the bomb :-)
* 3000 baud was roughly 2400bps days
* 30000 baud gets us to ~28.8k
* 300000 baud was about 2 ISDN lines (2x128k)
* 3000000 baud is about typical cable these days (3m)
That puts us about another 4 orders of magnitude (3 if you count
FTTP/etc generally available enough to count 30m as "now") away from 30G
to CPE.
I'm sure there are more accurate timelines :-)
