Holy crap. When I first read that, I read it as 40mbs. but 40 Gb?

"Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds."
That's just ridiculous..
2 seconds? How big is a high def dvd nowadays? 3meg?
Edit: ignore this, I read it as 40mb/ec
You owe it to yourself to click here really.

Well in a way that's right and wrong. If you think about it, I doubt there will be any providers which can handle 40Gb/sec upload
That's more bandwidth than most ISPs have. It's a great concept, but the traffic over it would be so incredibly expensive, it'd be out of the reach of mere mortals.
There's also nothing consumer level which could cope with that amount of data, so unless you were maxing out a load of gigabit NICs there's no point - even then your disks wouldn't be able to cope - neither would the disks at the other end (even if the network could).

Could they cope if they were solid state? (if that were the case then the problem would be the fact that a 256GB flash drive costs a bomb)
pure, pure genius

Surely the machine couldn't cope with writing that much data that fast anway?
Just a pointless marketing exercise.
Nothing to see here.
40Gb/s is effectively theoretical. Internet2 holds the speed record of 9.08 gigabits per second, and that is sustained for 5 hours.
EDIT: It's just like IBM and their "100Ghz processor" from a few years back - http://news.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/0,1...2089968,00.htm
