NTT sets new data transmission record of 14 terabits per second. That is 14,000,000 megbits per second. Contrast that with current enterprise speeds of 1 - 10 gigabit and that is some pretty impressive speeds. What to do with all that speed you might ask. Do we really need to send 100 full copies of the library of congress every second (or hour, whatever)? Well, no, but that bandwidth will come in really handy for High Def video on demand.
