Judging new technology on how useful it is today is pointless; if we did that we wouldn't of developed electricity for instance because Faraday's experiment was of no practical use what so ever but it showed that electricity could be produced with the use of magnets, something we can all agree was revolutionary for our culture.

To question what good a new technology is when it is created is short sighted, circumstances change and perhaps we could develop something in the future that requires the new technology.

Just don't break the beam if you want to have kids ...

Providing internet to a whole village without having to lay expensively fibre optic cable across farm land, through a woodland and over a river.

Providing internet to a whole island,your new skyscraper whatever... Popping a pair of these up is undoubtedly quicker and cheaper than laying fibre, especially on long rural runs or crowded city centres where getting permits might take years.

I'm still only at 150MB/s wireless and 1GB ethernet, i wish i had internet this fast, it'd be awesome
