SCI/TECH: Worlds Longest 10Gigabit Ethernet LAN (fix)

The IEEE standards are approved, and the big ISP's are installing large fiber networks. The only card out of place was the live realtime global test of the 10 gig network WAN. These guys just pulled of the test with flying colors. It is now just a matter of duplicating there results, and agreeing to the standards I believe. Just think about how much faster the internet will be when this is fully implemented!



You can imagine the difference in the volume and speed of the networks soon. Not to mention the price change.

Yes the speed is great. But transfer times are already negligible over cable. The only will advantage will be volume; that is, the carriers will be able to squeeze more people onto the trunks. Induvidual users will see little increase in speed. Also, the price will be prohibitive. I would guess like 2 grand a month, in the US, but I am not calibrated.
