26 Terabits Per Second... WHOOSH~!

[Renegade]

Yes. You read correctly. TERABITS.

Researchers have set a new record for the rate of data transfer using a single laser: 26 terabits per second.

At those speeds, the contents of nearly 1,000 high-definition DVDs could be sent down an optical fibre in a second.

The trick is to use what is known as a "fast Fourier transform" to unpick more than 300 separate colours of light in a laser beam, each encoded with its own string of information.

Is that fast enough for anyone here?

I'm a bit scared of how to view all those DVD's in that short timespan, afraid that my head will explode

That'll probably be the new RIAA penalty for the p2p crowd - Spontaneous Decapitation - It's not just from snorting dandelions anymore!

I wouldn't be surprised to see them demand royalties for data transfers. They did it for CDs...

And I'm lucky to get 26 kbps! The only downside to living in a forest.

So your connection Tera-Bites?

Quite so, my ISP and I are headed for a dust-up.
