Timothy N. Tuck writes "Lucent labs has yet again found new ways to up the limit of what can be sent over a single strand of fiber, the new limit (at least for this week) 3.28 terrabytes a second." I saw this earlier. It's pretty cool, but I won't be impressed until we (the masses) can actually see at least a portion of that speed. I mean, I'm glad people are working on this stuff, but it's still a pain for most people to get beyond the 56k barrier.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
