Here is a link to the article entitled "Fast Forward: Future Internet" Within that article is a reference to a company in San Diego called "Silk Road" I have read about them before. We will probably never see this potential "Gorilla's" stock, it is a perfect candidate for someone like Cisco to buy. Here is the reference: SilkRoad, a San Diego-based telecommunications and consulting company, has patented another photonics technology dubbed Refractive Synchronization Communication, which has demonstrated data transfer rates of 200 gbps over 200 miles, without signal amplification, on a single wavelength of light; the fastest fiber in use today maxes out at 40 gbps. SilkRoad says that it's negotiating with local telephone companies and large carriers that could roll out RSC technology by this summer. By fall it expects to offer local area network RSC-enabled hubs and switches for use by businesses and homes that have fiber connections. Some analysts predict that the entire Internet backbone will be using photonics of some sort within the next five years.
