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.'

Please point me to a hard drive that can write at 1.2GB/s.
Even U640 SCSI can only transmit at half that rate, so even if you set up a large ass raid array you couldn't write quickly enough.
By 2014 I expect that hard drives will be between 2 and 20 TB in size on average, and probably can write at 600MB/s, each directly connected by SATA600 or faster, so it should just about be doable by then. What is more scary is the concept of being able to store 1000 High Definition movies on a single hard drive.
Enough with the technical mumbo-jumbo. I just want to know how many Libraries of Congress that is per minute.
