time to move on .... ITS DEAD!!!

I have a patent on LTO technology that is much more reliable than squeezing more tracks on the tape with improved servos. What IBM has is 2 dimensional thinking.

Just Brilliant ... Dr No ... "Inqish" and great!

In other words, it will fit 700 two hour movies in FullHD, which is a better analogue, and digital.

I'd guess paperbacks. At 2kB/page those 248 miles mean 0.04 mm average paper thickness...

Tape systems proved to be unreliable, slow and expensive.
If they are able to store 25TB in a tape, I will wait for such tecnology to be used in hard disks, thank you.

.. hardback or paperback, and what font size is the type?

Not exactly Charles. While it set a new record it is just a research demonstration showing that tape has plenty of life left.

Might we see this in LTO Generation 5?
