Nah, your thinking about when they beam thought patterns directly into you cerebral cortex. :P

[...] Alcatel Boosts Fiber Speed to 100 Petabits in Lab Alcatel-Lucent today said that scientists at Bell Labs have set an optical transmission record that could deliver data about 10 times faster than current undersea cables, resulting in speeds of more than 100 Petabits per second.kilometer. A petawhat? This translates to the equivalent of about 100 million Gigabits per second.kilometer or sending about 400 DVDs per second over 7,000 kilometers, roughly the distance between Paris and Chicago. [...]

Standard tech, just a high tech case of DWDM

“The combination of speed multiplied by distance expressed as bit per second.kilometers is a standard measure for high-speed optical transmission.”

It’s a stupid marketing misrepresentation of a standard measure of data transmission speed – bits per second. Bits per kilometer.second metric is retarded. The only significant mention of a distance would be the distance between two optical amplifiers, which in this case were spaced 90 kilometers apart. 15.5Tbps over this distance is impressive, but please don’t give us that “speed of 100 Petabits” crap.

They probably just enabled compression on the link and sent a bunch of 0s.

I believe the 100 petabit figure reflects the distance traveled. The aggregate speed is 15.5 terabits per second.

per petabit/sec/km… therefore 100,000 Tb/sec/km … div by 8 for Tb to TB conversion … 12,500TB/sec/km… div by 7,000 for distance … 1,785GB/sec for 7,000 km. div by 400 DVDs = 4.46GB (avg size of a DVD)
