Whoever designed it will most likely sell it as this would completly own every single internet provider in the world. He would make a killing with this. Anybody who wouldn't sell it would be really crazy.

I know. But I said that I still doubt that we will get access to this in the next 10 years. For example, there are a lot of different kind of cars which run using alternative sources of energy, everything from sunlight to water. Basically they would be free to drive, saving everyone thousands of dollars/euros/other currency per year and they wouldn't pollute at all. Do we have access to them? Well don't know about you but at least I have never seen one in my local car shop.

Same with the internet speed that I mentioned above. 40Gbps. We are talking about a connection that can download 5GB's of data every second. That's about 7 dvdrip movies in one second. It's very possible, and it's pretty cheap too. So now.. how fast was your internet? 40Gbps? Maybe half of that, 20Gbps? Again I don't know where you live, but over here 100Mbps is pretty much as fast as you can get.

The technology is all there, like it is with the grid. Doesn't mean we will be using it anytime soon.

I'm more interested to see what happens when they flip the switch on the LHC, could be anything and whatever if anything will probably be more interesting than a fiber network.

Sounds cool, might get more film/tv providers on the web

South Korea And Japan Are Blitzing The World At Internet Speed -- Internet Access

"Between 60% and 70% of South Korean households have high-speed Internet connections, the U.N. Communications Group says, while Japan offers the fastest speeds and lowest prices."

And that article is from 2003. Do a little searching and things have only gotten worse. I read an article 2-3 months ago that put the US now at like 38th place in the world rating what percentage of population had home fast internet. US was behind like Lithuania.

I read the news on DSL · Cable · VOIP · Security · Satellite · Fiber · News · Tips · Reviews · Community · Tools - dslreports.com everyday to keep up with the latest.

meh, we had loadscreens 10 years ago, we currently have loadscreens and will have loadscreens in future.
because can you imagine how complex the innumerable program routines will be? I doubt the robots managed to load up the matrix in the blink of an eye..

Idk where you live, but I am pretty sure everybody has access to them. They are called Hybrids, and I see them constantly being driven around in Canada. I know they sell them in the U.S. as well.
