bluesrat@gmail.com has shared: Intel uses silicon photonics for faster data transfer over long distances

Dare to compare: right now, our best wifi standard is 3gbps. We've barely got *that* online, though it's available in many metropolitan areas.

Is this wifi? I don't know. Probably fiberoptics. Light transmission isn't practical outside fairly confined spaces (that's what your remote control is, people, and bluetooth as well--light, infrared, radio, they're all on the same electromagnetic spectrum, just at different frequencies).
