And to think Hickey was impressed with that new Comcast package. Big yawn right there.
Cern, where Web creator Tim Burners-Lee worked, has been working on an Internet replacement called The Grid that’s 10,000 times faster than broadband. I made a graph in Numbers to illustrate just how big 10,000 times is. It’s remarkable, really.
Built entirely out of modern fiber optics and routing technology, The Times says it’s capable of downloading entire feature films in seconds—even the fastest BitTorrent speeds I’ve seen still take more than an hour—and send the entire Rolling Stones catalogue from the UK to Japan in less than two seconds. Why you’d waste such a technology on the Rolling Stones, I don’t know.
The Grid is set to go live, at least in some capacity, this summer. Some 55,000 thousand Grid-capatible servers have already been installed around the world, with that number rising to 200,000 within the next two years.
Now we’ll all be rickrolled with lightning-fast speed.

I did a one hour interview with one of the guys in charge o the grid system at CERN, you can see my video at: http://techvideoblog.com/cern/cern-lhc-atlas-grid/
I want to play!@
i read the article, so the grid is basically a bunch of fiber cables connected between data processing research centers.
so will it still be different from the internet when providers replace all their cables with fiber?
You beleive in it and it will most likely probably work i hope also is it easy to install and how do you exactly do the installing if per say you might have dial up as of now
1. You don’t need to know. When access to the network becomes available to consumers it will be nicely packaged for you.
2. It’s ‘per se’.
3. What is this Dial Up of which you speak?
Yes, this new technology that is 10,000x’s faster than broadband (high speed internet) is going to be available for dialup customers.
LOL
Some people are dumb as a box of rocks.
i have read about grid …….as u said this is going to be the next gen internet .but as far i have heard about grid like it is sharing sresources.or some memory or data is called as grid ..i couldnt get clear i dea …can any one help ..plz…………
our teach told us about dis it sounds friggin awsome!!!!!!!!!!!
