Two reasons:
 (1) A generic ability to provide remote display screens over
      COTS network hardware (e.g. 10GbE) is useful. For example,
      I can imagine a platform-independent "black box" which
      hooks to any device's display port -- e.g. medical
      imager, workstation, etc.
 (2) In a number of commercial high-bandwidth applications,
      manufacturers are looking at DVI as a very low cost
      box-to-box data interface up to 8Gb/s or so. However
      standard DVI is limited to a few meters' length. Again,
      the ability to packetize this and run over merchant
      market 10GbE will provide a platform-independent method
      to extend the usefulness of this type of equipment.

Cheers,
  Chuck
