Transmit 2 Hour Movie in 0.5 Seconds
Japan's Kansai Electric Power Co said it has developed technology that allows the transmission of a two-hour movie in 0.5 seconds. The high speed is achieved using fibre-optic cables on power-transmitting steel towers. The transmission speed of one terabit per second is more than 100 times faster than inter-city data transmissions currently in use, a company spokesman said. Kansai has not decide when it will put the technology to commercial use, though it was possible it could be in 2010 or later.

Globetechnology: Jukeboxes, DJs being pushed out by iPods
Multimedia artists will be an integral part of the research centre and will explore new art forms made possible by high-speed networking.
For example, at the building dedication later this month, Adriene Jenik, an associate professor of computer and media arts at the University of California, San Diego, will preview Specflic 2.0, what she describes as an example of "speculative distributed cinema." This next-generation style movie will appear on a cluster of networked displays in the courtyard of the new building. Each display will be a window into a different part of the narrative, which will be taking place with both live and filmed actors.
"The story isn't just told, it's experienced," she said.
