        Hardware does exist - just you can't afford it (and it's
        probably not going to be available on the hobbyist
        market for a little while yet). Even the optics are
        hellishly expensive!

        Well it's certainly run to capacity in the
        test labs. Exactly what customers fo with
        them is up to them!

        100MB to the desktop seems to work well
        enough for me. Especially since the link out
        of the building is just a T1 ...
