Am I missing something , they made a laser that is infrared.. leds in remote controls have been making infrared for what 20+ years now... and laser in fiber is already at the speed of light.. I don't see this being a huge step forward.. we have loads of technology now that can accomplish the same thing.. were just not using it.. there is so much dark fiber in the USA its sad.. I have loads of dark fiber less than 1000 feet from my home yet i cant get net access via fiber.. just slow DSL.This article is just conjecture based on a room temp laser that makes infrared.. nothing more.. show me a computer/data transmission system based on it that is super fast.. then ill be excited.

Bloatware is a large part of that equation (in regards to loading software)

Right now, Comcast is having a meeting to decide how to make sure none of us ever see this.
