Absolutely astonishing! I worked in the optical networks division of Nortel Networks for a while right before the tech crash in 2000. It was a wild time. The industry was laying cables with 1,000 strands of fiber and we were lighting only a few 10 Gbps DWDM channels on each strand. There was huge unused capacity on the one lit strand. Performance had gone up many orders of magnitude and prices came down a few orders of magnitude. The market got oversaturated very quickly and the whole industry went BOOM after that build-out. Here we are 22 years later and trucks for competing companies are laying last-mile fiber everywhere around Coeur d’Alene, pushing fiber to the home.
Who is going to use petabit networks? For what applications?

It’s amazing how fast tyrants will be able to spread a monumental volume of lies and gaslighting in one second.
Petabits of data and not one tiny bit of truth blowing across the Internet every second.

What’s the per month charge for this type of service?
Can I bundle it with my cell service too?

In the early days of Free Republic, when I was surfing along on my 14.4kbps modem and people got pissy at you here if you so much as hot-linked an image (no, seriously, many modems at the time would choke while downloading a single JPEG), I was predicting that at some point in time, we would be able to store all the world's information on a chip the size of a fingernail and that all the movies and music in the world would be able to be streamed to you real time so you never even had to download anything anymore.
It sounded like science fiction at the time and that was only 25 years ago - late 1990s.

Is there fiber that can propagate that bandwidth without so much group delay that the data cannot be recovered after a short distance? It is impressive, but there may be more problems to solve.

Big Brother Is Watching You. Yes, something will surely be done with all that bandwidth.

Who is going to use petabit networks? For what applications? Immersive high-resolution video streaming comes to mind. Gamers are going to love this.

Already 200TB SSDs are available. 1000TB SSDs might be around the corner. We had to get this technology from aliens. Ha.

I’m also thinking Elon Musk will love this for his Starlink satellite internet. Forget fiber, the satellites will use this to talk to each other in orbit.
