Hi Frank, when do you think that you would require Nineteen Thousand and Two Hundred (19,200) T3s coming into your living room, which would be the equivalent of one terabit per second (1 Tb/s)?

I think I'm ready now! <vbg>

Thanks for the post Frank, that was one worthy of bookmarking.

To the poster who mentioned 500-1000 strands per cable. A quibble, the actual figures are lower, 432 and the low 800's. The 432s constitute the bulk of the network.

Ciao, Ray

I was thinking of things like Virtual Reality mapping of the globe,
VR shopping malls, VR entertainment experiences...
I apologize for my obvious over enthusiasm.
