You know, I'm curious. If you don't care, then why post? Are you also so naive as to not see the benefits of experimentation with new hardware/materials/methods? You'll never see these speeds, but the methods they use help develop new ways of transferring data over around the world. There's more to the internet than your last mile. Consider the benefit to you if your ISP can transfer more data for the same amount or less money.

| Re: Who Cares? The research benefit of this stuff is amazing, new ways of looking and doing things will get down to the consumer eventually. Anyone saying who cares is shortsighted and should look more then 1 minute into the future.

Anyone saying who cares is shortsighted and should look more then 1 minute into the future. More than 1 minute...try a zillion years. Saying this research will reach the consumer is like saying the Budweiser rocket car technology will reach the consumer...adding to that while all the roads are jammed and full of potholes. Sure...it's interesting...but otherwise completely worthless for the rest of the 'real world'.
So I join others...who cares?!? Anyone who thinks of this as anything more that a fleeting novelty is sorely misguided. The money wasted on this so-called research could have been better spent elsewhere. | |

@nd.edu | My parents saw the invention of TV after they were born, and they're only in their early 60's. Look at what you have now. | |

Kennesaw, GA | they could start lowering the price of broadband to say 14.99 for 3.0/512 and 9.99 for 1.5/384
Then we may have something that is much more versatile!
yea money is strict and limited, why pay more then necessary? | |

Atlanta, GA | Glad you think that way about research, just make sure to never use a new advance in your lifetime to prove your point.

| Re: Who Cares? said by oliphant :Not "research"...just USELESS research...like this. I'd terribly like to know what credentials you have in order to make that judgement. Unless you're in the business of developing B2B ISP services, your opinion is kinda moot.

3 edits | Re: Who Cares? Guess you didn't bother to READ the PR, more specifically the applications of this, before posting. It has nothing to do with credentials...everything to do with the admitted applications (or lack thereof).
My point is made again...petabytes of data from future experimentation at the compact Muon Solenoid and the Toroidal Large Hadron Collider Apparatus have ZERO to do with CONSUMER anything...which was the errant claim of the previous poster. These applications won't filter to B2B or B2C providers.
It is completely worthless for the rest of the 'real world'. Thus...who cares...save for the 2000 physicists who work on such data intensive projects.
But whatever...you're entitled to your opinion and me to mine. | |
