New Internet Speed Record: 319 Terabits Per Second

[engine]

A new report from Japan says its achieved a new internet data speed record of 319 Terabits Per Second over a distance equivalent to 3,001 km or about 1,864 miles without a degradation of the signal or speed. Apparently, that about twice the speed record from last year, however, there are technical and cost implications involved in the experiment, which means there's work to do to make it cost-effective and practical.

:: quick upward glance to confirm that this is Foo ::

:: nebulous mental association with assorted TwoSet Violin videos riffing on someone who has set a new speed record on “Flight of the Bumblebee”, at the expense of missing half the notes ::

I'm sure some spammers are rejoicing about this...

Wow, so cynical. These engineers are a brilliant bunch, certainly they have come up with a solution to prevent spam. I'm guessing that there is going to be Captcha required before the response can processed.

319tb then Kaptcha = 4:30 minutes :)

"Less bloat" is so much sexier than "more speed"

The engineers are fine, it's the "trusted" sites that load stuff from 15-20 other domains for every pageload that are the problem. Now they'll get 30-40. It's spam because you can block 95% of the stuff those "trusted pages" load and still get the full value.

BTW - I had to sit through a 7 second cloudflare pause while they checked my browser to post this. What's pure speed going to do to fix that?

..my T-Shirt neck color gets twice the sweatier juice than that within the same time frame, and it is still sticky mid September up in here...

Who the bloat is introduced by, is that the question? The Junior 'developer' that is pasting #*$!e in the HEAD of the template or the tech team that wants to slam that they worked with specific 'FRAMEWORK' on their CVs?

Somehow, in my case, overage news site has 12+ tracking sources and the question is who is requesting those statistics or who is responsible to show of all tracking so that they could produce another fancy graffiti on a monitor or worst than that use paper to print it, in color? Ight?

It's an impressive achievement, and important for the future of the internet, but I don't understand why you're all talking about page bloat and tracking scripts. They didn't crack the speed of light. If you're not even saturating 10 Mbit/s loading a page, what's 319 Tbit/s going to do for you?
