10Gbit to the Home by 2010
womby writes "Nihon Keizai Shinbun report (Japanese) that NTT, Fujitsu and the Japanese Government are forming a working group to develop internet technologies that will hopefully allow homes to receve 10 gigabit internet connections by 2010.
'The Japanese government (the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Post and Telecommunication) are going to start a development plan next year that will increase the speed of the internet in Japan to 100 times faster than the current 100MB fibre internet, with partner companies it is aiming for completion by 2010.' A complete Translation is here, if my blog gets beaten into the ground try the Coral Cache Link."

Pr0n at the speed of .... damn that was quick!

10gbps = 1.25GB/s = 2 DivX movies/s = 1 DVD-5/4s = 416 MP3s/s = Brown Trousers time for the MPAA = Roll over in grave time for RIAA
But seriously, imagine all the fun you could have downloading pr0n^H^H^H^H educational videos.
Hi there
cue the "i'd be happy to have anything over 300 baud" posts.. .. NOW!
Then we can have the bandwidth to play Doom 3 multiplayer with more than a few people!

woohoo tentacle pr0n here I COME!
I'm still on a 56K modem, you insensitive clod!
But seriously, to all the people saying "bleh! What are we ever going to need that kind of bandwidth for?", just remember: no one should need more than 640KB of memory.
Face it, people are constantly doing things which require more and more bandwidth. People will start wanting to stream HDTV-quality movies over the net from their favourite P2P ne...uh... I mean MPAA sanctioned distribution channel. They'll want online games with thousands and thousands of people with realistic physics, and audio chatting. They'll want...
Ah who am I kidding? This is for p0rn, plain and simple.

I love it. The NEW standard to measure bandwith.

Get your Unix fortune now!
There's no storage problem. GMail accounts will be 1 Terabyte by then. Email yourself a big attachment.
We won't have 2GHz processors that wait 99.999% of the time for your every keystroke, like they do now. They will be 20 GHz and will wait 99.9999%.
There will be mods that turn a motherboard into a radar.
Britney Spears will be an old married woman by then. You will be able to examine her stretch marks in high definition detail.
Nah - the HiFi-freaks will still swear that those unrecognizable things above 10 TBps *DO* make a difference. And a 100 TBps pipe still can't beat vinyl. I predict a celluloid-revival for 2009. People will trash their DVDs and enjoy the smooth gradients that only celluloid can deliver.
But the upload speed will still be around 128Kb/s.

Nerd: I make a program that downloads porn off the Internet 1000 times faster.
Marge: Hmm, does anyone need that much porn?
Homer [drooling]: Ohh... 1000 times faster...
...that RealPlayer will still be Buffering 0%... 10%... 20%...
