Re: That would cool if it works Firewire - that is a fair question. In a general mathematical sense it's related in a way. The fact that all transmissions signal will degrade over distance copper, microwave, or optic. Copper uses RF to transmit data and can be extended by repeater.
VZ FIOS (the last mile) is all optics, a wavelength (lambda)is assigned to each service offering (video, data, voice). Potentially FIOS can push through put speed of over 600MB/s and up to 1000MB/s (GigE)or even higher. This is depending on the transmitting equipment. Service speeds of 5MB, 10MB, 30MB, 50MB, 20/20 MB/s is just the starting point. Of course this means Billions of dollars are need to upgrade the Backbone infrastructures. Doesn't make sense to give the end user a Ferrari with no road to drive on. |
