#4251 — 43Tbps over a single fiber: World\u2019s fastest network would let you download a movie in 0.2 milliseconds

  "A research group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), which
   was the first to break the one-terabit barrier in 2009, has today
   managed to squeeze 43 terabits per second over a single optical
   fiber with just one laser transmitter. In a more user-friendly unit,
   43Tbps is equivalent to a transfer rate of around 5.4 terabytes per
   second -- or 5,375 gigabytes to be exact. Yes, if you had your hands
   on DTU's new fiber-optic network, you could transfer the entire
   contents of your 1TB hard drive in a fifth of a second -- or, to put
   it another way, a 1GB DVD rip in 0.2 milliseconds."

Queue up the media conglomerate lawyers to lobby for limits to
 this technology or reserve it exclusively for streaming services
 or something equally boneheaded ...
