I would say Games would be huge, where we play without actually installing 8 or 10GB worth of data. Maybe just playing level by level, where it downloads files needed for that level. Also HD video would lot more bandwidth, so i am thinking that will be huge too.

How well does that work, out of curiosity? Are there long loading times?

Don't know about the loading times since I didn't buy the game, but 5 other million people did!
