World's longest non-regenerated fibre optic cable
« on: January 16, 2003, 12:34:00 PM »
The world's longest non-regenerated fibre optic cable has begun transmission in Australia. The link can transmit 160 channels each providing 10 Gigabit-per-second transmission speeds.
(Story from ZDnet, Australia)

@Paul Gadd

You seem to have an unhealthy interest in pirated stuff. I hope this is none Amiga stuff your talking about?
