I'm sorry, but I really don't find that impressive. I've got no doubt it
will increase further, my friend has worked on fractal compression [on
fibre, but it could be applied to any medium] with some stunning results
... it could increase copper bandwidth to 100mbs easily. But I still
don't find that impressive as it still restricts the way I want to work
and the functioanlity I can design/implement.
