I've read that IEEE 1394b (firewire2) will reach speeds of 800 megabits per second (Mbps) in its initial incarnation, followed by speeds of 1.6 gigabits per second (Gbps) and, eventually, 3.2 Gbps over copper wire. Apple is looking into going to that standard in the future. Also, I've heard there might be issues about the 480 megabits/sec spec on USB 2, making Firewire (the current version) still better for sustained high bandwidth operations. I'm not sure what the issues are.
