    Coming soon: "The Grid" - superfast internet

    Download a three hour movie in less than a second
    Game with hundreds of thousands of others at one time
    The complete Rolling Stones catalog transferred in less than 2 seconds.
    You wont need a PC anymore for storing anything - there will be an information "cloud".

    It's here and now, after a seven year project.
    Will be turned on in July - initially for scientists at Universities.

    hehe the first GRID network will be utilized by the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), worlds largest Particle accelator and the most powerful @ 14 KeV, and will generate petabytes of data on any given second.
