oops - excitedly jumped the gun:

"..This is phenomenol in "easily" allowing close to an equivalent of an OC-96 (4.8Gbps).."

from bell-labs.com

"..Actual results in practice will be significantly lower that 36 bps/Hz due to the departure from ideal Rayleigh scattering and the presence of numerous practical impairments..."

Still a phenomenal breakthrough in offering a 10 fold increase (of our 2.5bps/Hz) that allows one 100Mhz channel to carry OC48 (~2.4Gbps) capacity.
