second.kilometers ???
I live 7,000 km away so I get
7,000 times the bandwidth.
(Well, that's what it sounds like)
Enron used a measurement that worked

"Mark to Market accounting". :-p

Yawn

this is all well and good, but when will we start getting hard drives connected by optical. The technology has been here long enough to supercede even the next gen of SCSI or SATA !!

This could revolutionize the porn industry!

Faster porn is the most important priority for the internet. Obama should provide high speed porn to the entire world and charge American tax payers for it.

Maybe or Worse....

Undersea Trans Oceanic Cables Are wonder of Investors, NOT Reality. Leavin Question, Is This Marketing Fantasy?

As Backbone down Manhatten, yet Cable Is already Oversubscribed & Under utilized. Each Endpoint Have to have XXXGb/s galorie' well beyond any known system, Today.

Copyright fiasco Just have to Die to Get transfer rate UP. Cable have to Open its Channel 1 Up FREE to Use At Every OutLet. While Microwave Tower Could easily Beat Long distance transmission Cost, Except ruskie Only Int'l space station coming Be doubtful Place to PlaceSpace Satelites. Missey Hunts 'em down. so Good Dod backup system, Needed NOW. Just Turn OFF About ~15 Tb/s for while.

Hope, It works, Hope IT works Properly, Hope IT Works HERE Before there. Hope It WORKS....
