What about streaming, which is increasingly used to hold power to account in real time? Or other rich, necessarily large media which needs to *get out fast*? Big media isn't always frivolous. Even frivolity is important, and a mixnet without fun is gonna be a small mixnet.

 I believe it could. Even if requiring super aggregating
 nodes of some sort. Layers of service of the whole
 DHT space. More research is surely required.
 
 It is not possible to have
fast p2p unless:
 - Cable networks collaborate by increasing bandwidth 7 to 8 times
 
 My references to scale were not intended to be about...
 bulk bandwidth across such networks (for example, right
 now, I2P and Tor are doing well enough to see very low
 quality video between their hidden nodes if you get a lucky
 path, and well enough for moving large files around in non
 realtime). ie: the nodes have bandwidth available.
 

We all wish privacy, not necessarily 4k videos. The current bandwidth can provide for 4k videos and also privacy, no matter if a littler slower, for a little chat, work and file transfers.

Except if you are into media production or warez, the current bandwidth already does the trick for all the rest.
