I get it, this sounds great, but saying it will cut thousands of cables seems a bit overstated. You won't eliminate redundancy or separate systems like emergencies and finance just by increasing bandwidth.
You also require significant computing capability to analyze the information effectively. A current processor is necessary to manage the network interrupts from a 1GB link.
