Net 'Speed Record' - 8.4GB Over 3,500 Miles In 82 Secs
http://www.azreporter.com/news/3-31-00/netrecord.html
Web surfers tired of the "World Wide Wait" may drool over a "land speed
record" logged by some high-profile technology outfits in a competition
staged by the Internet2 consortium. Making bandwidth-hungry applications
such as today's streaming Internet video look like child's play, a team
from Microsoft Corp., Qwest Communications Inc., the University of
Washington, and the Information Sciences Institute managed to move 8.4
gigabytes of data 5,626 kilometers (nearly 3,500 miles) in 82 seconds.
