This is effectively a closed group (or if not, where do I join) using their own gear. Hopefully it does show what is to come however. Note that the article had no technical detail whatsoever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll believe it when my local telco is offering it to my door for $29.95/mo. At that rate, I can download a full, uncompressed DVD from my local video rental store in 10-20 seconds. By that time I should be able to store all that in memory so it doesn't even need to touch my slow HD. -Adam Jinx wrote: {Quote hidden}> 5.44Gbps over 7000km > > onenews.nzoom.com/onenews_detail/0,1227,229261-1-454,00.html > . > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different > ways.
