"A multinational team led by USC with researchers in the U.S., China, Pakistan, and Israel has developed a system of transmitting data using twisted beams of light at ultra-high speeds — up to 2.56 terabits per second. Broadband cable supports up to about 30 megabits per second. The twisted-light system transmits about 85,000 times more data per second."


Wow.
