High Speed Laser Chip, Intel
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/...onics-50-gbps/
"A new research breakthrough from Intel combines silicon chips and lasers to transmit data at 50 gigabits per second — and someday, maybe as fast as a terabit per second.
The 50-Gbps speed is enough to download an HD movie from iTunes, or up to 100 hours of digital music, in less than a second...."
So bad ass!

Re: High Speed Laser Chip, Intel
I was reading through that article earlier today. Awesome stuff, but Intel still has some things to work through; production, scaling up, prototype applications, etc. Its still a few years off from commercialization. Awesome stuff though, you just know that Intel will eventually build a prototype PC a few years from now to show off the technology. Now that would be cool.

Not for a LONG time, I am afraid. The only way that will work will be for the entire data transmission to be on that fiber line. There is no infrastructure out there that will support this. Sure, if you run through fiber through your home or office network, it will be great... just as long as it is all fiber.
Now try using this to connect anywhere from outside your home or local network, and you will eventually hit copper leased lines. Until everything is fiber, we won't be seeing much improvement.

I beg to differ. AT&T, Verizon, Commcast, & Time Warner have conducted studies regarding your statement. The tests results display no difference with running fiber completely to the consumer vs. running fiber up to the last 3/4 mile to the consumer. The studies were conducted to see if a provider could increase bandwith to the user without the costly expense of ripping walls, streets, and powerlines up to achieve the same consistency of bandwidth.
