I always new it - the future of telecom is with pigeons ... (what happened to our idea of the pigeon inspired navigator??)

Well, it's been newn... I mean known since computer networks were invented that it'll take them a long time to match with a throughput of a train carrying recorded media. The point is that throughput is not the only important parameter: the other is response time... (BTW let's see how this commenting feature works, not many folks seem to use it...)

I do use it quite regularily .... a train full of DVDs and flash drives, yes ok - but a pigeon!!!!

ESA involvement in device central to neutrino speed measurement

israeli startup betting on an orbital tug to put telecom sats into graveyard orbit ...

bad news ... hope that its not Ariane related (but does not see to be the case)

Guinness World Record breaking, "first radio amplifier operating at terahertz frequencies could lead to communications systems with much higher data rates, better radar, high-resolution imaging that could penetrate smoke and fog, and better ways of identifying dangerous substances, say the researchers who built it". Built from HEMTs (High Electron Mobility Transistors) made of InP (Indium Phosphide), this is a new milestone on the road to the THz applications.
