Looked down at my ThinkPad dock to plug in a USB device and saw a 10 next to it. USB.org has specs on a 10Gbps serial bus.

Time to trash the network. I'm getting a 10Gbps 24-port USB hub. :D

Depends on use case. 10Gbps between switches (core, distribution, and access) is fairly commonplace and cheap. Per access to the host... only new access switches have multi-Gig ports (1,2.5,5,10Gbps). Those are expensive and are reserved for wireless APs, IME, as they service more than just a host.
