There are several projects to connect remote university buildings here in Germany, some have been running for quite some time. For example these guys (in German) use a 155 MBit link over 2.9 km.
I've had contact to people who were connected over a Laser bridge a couple years ago. I was playing quake at the time and whenever it rained their connection went from very good to unplayable.
ok, so the topic has been hijacked - but I believe that anything that is obviously of so much interest to the posters automatically becomes on-topic. After all, isn't/. about the people who post here?
