> IoT will rarely require speeds more than 100's of megabits. Most actually is kilobits.

This reminds me this famous quote by Bill Gates: "640 kB ought to be enough for anybody"

Bill Gates says he never said this. There is no record he ever said this. And even if he did say it, he almost certainly did not mean it literally.

There are plenty of uses for high speeds, but IoT uses? Can you name three kinds of IoT device that require broadband?

Cameras sometimes do. I can't think of a second one.

The main focus of IoT is tiny embedded devices. The biggest use is very likely to always be data-light.
