Summary: Researchers at the Centre of Graphene Science at the Universities of Bath and Exeter have demonstrated a 100x improvement in optical-fibre broadband speeds. Researchers at the Centre of Graphene Science at the Universities of Bath and Exeter have demonstrated a drastic improvement in optical-fibre broadband speeds via the use of the miracle material: graphene.

The expenses that come with starting up a business facility can be quite large. This is especially true for those needing to install their own fiber optic lines. The process of laying down fiber optic cable from a provider facility to your own is long and expensive.

This is a little information about the Google fiber optic internet project.

As part of the great dot com bust of 2000, however, most of the speculators went bust, leaving so-called "dark fiber" to wait for demand to catch up.
