Thanks for the response, Steve. We've certainly come a long way from the old 9,600 bits modems.

I do have another question. Would transmission speeds of 2.5 Gbits/s be sufficient to carry live video and audio (smoothly) over the internet??

If it can, then I would think that it would make television as we know it obsolete. Imagine living in Montreal and wanting to watch the News live from Los Angeles. What would happen to video store rentals?? With a simple click we could download and watch any movie at any time. If smooth audio and video are possible, we are then close to revolutionizing the telephone industry. Just like in Star Trek, with a simple voice command you can call your loved one and speak to him/her live on the screen from anywhere on the planet.

Those of you out there saying that the Technological revolution is winding down, think again!! I think we've only just begun.
