I'm interested in how much this tech will cost:
- cables
- hubs
- added cost to computers and devices

I'm kind of intrigued by Thunderbolt, but I don't like the politics behind it that are interfering with the adoption of USB 3; which currently makes more sense than thunderbolt for more than 99% of users in my opinion.

I wonder what the impact on HDBaseT -- which is also about 10Gb/s -- will be. I guess the technologies could be complementary with the use of hybrid hubs. From what I know of each tech, I would prefer widespread support for HDBaseT; in the short term at least.
