At the top end of network development, it's pretty feasable.

ATM (Asychronous Transfer Mode? - I think) was one they used to go on about when I was doing my degree. If you have an ATM network, it can send real-time video etc. at a quality good enough to allow a surgeon to perform an operation on a patent remotely, using a robotic arm.

Still, currently out of our price range, I imagine.
