Cool, is this coming to the UK? When? How much?
"the fastest high-speed links currently carry data at a maximum 40 Gbit/s"

Sorry but this is wrong, 40Gbit/s was surpassed a long long time ago.

Marconi Communications manufactures and sells DWDM equipment (Dense wave division multiplexing) which in essance puts 80 wavelengths of light each carrying 10Gbit/s down one fibre, so 80 x 10Gbit/s equals 800Gbit's, so 20 times faster than what this article would have you beleive.

This equipment - known as "PLT80" which means "photonics line terminal 80 wavelengths", has been sold and used in the UK and Europe for the last 5 years - British telecom has them, as does Cable & Wireless (The part that was formerly Energis).

None the less, 2.5 Tereabits is not to be sniffed at, it's just 3 times faster than what is currently being sold and manufactured NOT 50 odd times faster!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
