Sure, I doubt that many people ten years ago expected so many home users to have wireless networking, for example. I hadn't actually realised that hundred-gigabit Ethernet is so far along now, last I looked it was pretty much just a research program, now there's actual preliminary hardware... but I doubt that home users will need ten gigabytes per second on their network for quite some years, and that is the point where current wiring will be obsolete (looks like they do plan a copper cable implementation, but with 20 pins rather than 8).
