Anyone heard of this? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3689881.ece

can apparently send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds.

The other day i was looking at the details of the 100Gb/s @ 40km ethernet standard being sorted by IEEE at the moment, damn thing must be made mostly of stuff like that

that looks amazing

i wish tiscali would listen

Wow thats fast stupid Comcast.

The problem is going to eventually hit where our HDD's cant write the data fast enough.

time to order in those fibreoptic raid arrays

All this speed sounds a bit overkill to me, why would anyone need that much bandwidth?

What lots of RAMs for baby

Yea cant really think of a public application thats not just due to impatience. Can see it being useful in scientific fields though

Well this is all assuming that the LHC doesn't kill us all first in May 2008 . Just kidding, but if this network has half the potential they say it does, for commercial applications we could see internet speeds in Europe and North America increasing by 100's of times in the next few years. Of course they first need to come out with affordable hardware to handle it, which should take a bit of time.
