1 Terabit/Second ‘Net Speeds Achieved
A Japanese power company, Kansai Electric, achieved a rate of 1 Terabit per second. They used a 2 Hour movie to test speeds, coming in at ½ a second to trasmit the whole file.
Kansai Electric used fibre-optic cables on power-transmitting steel towers to achieve the speed of one terabit per second, which is more than 100 times faster than inter-city data transmissions currently in use, a spokesman says.
The company, Japan’s second-largest power supplier, has not decided when to put the technology into practical use but says it is possible that it would come in 2010 or later.
