Multiply that by about 300 (largest WDM platform I've heard of).

Probably not far from the same by the end of the decade. 100Gbps already exists.

The “usable” “RF” spectrum depends on range and rainfall and other factors. While some will say that 60 GHz is usable and THz frequencies are usable and free space optics in IR are usable I would limit the answer to 24 GHz. So 24 x 12 bits per hz =288 Gbps.

What is the maximum throughput of the entire Radio spectrum not going too far into details like processing overhead or any of that. -- All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer. -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
