Apparently, we might then jump to way beyond world-class net speeds. Come on NBN .. we could jump a world net-generation. Pls, step up NBN!

I do like the natural pronunciation of that acronym - "beam us", but the fact is I'd never heard of it until now. How is it better than the existing Human Tissue Transport Protocol?

Particles collide in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) detectors approximately 1 billion times per second, generating about one petabyte of collision data per second. However, such quantities of data are impossible for current computing systems to record and they are hence filtered by the experiments, keeping only the most “interesting” ones. https://home.cern/news/news/computing/cern-data-centre-passes-200-petabyte-milestone On Wed, 27 May 2020 at 8:36 am, Tom Worthington wrote: > On 24/5/20 7:59 pm, Andy Farkas wrote: > > > What would you want to stream in at 44.2Tbps? ... > > The Star Trek transporter requires teraquads of data > -- null ___ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link

However, they didn't claim to have a working receiver and they didn't demonstrate the transmission of actual data, letalone the internet, at that speed.
