Coming soon: superfast internet - Times Online

The latest spin-off from Cern, the particle physics centre that created the web, the grid could also provide the kind of power needed to transmit holographic images; allow instant online gaming with hundreds of thousands of players; and offer high-definition video telephony for the price of a local call.

At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection,
the grid could also provide the kind of power needed to transmit
holographic images; allow instant online gaming with hundreds of thousands
of players; and offer high-definition video telephony for the price of a
local call.
“With this kind of computing power, future generations will have
the ability to collaborate and communicate in ways older people like me
cannot even imagine,”
“It will lead to what’s known as cloud computing, where people keep all their
information online and access it from anywhere,”
“Projects like the grid will bring huge changes in business and society as
well as science,”
“Holographic video conferencing is not that far away. Online gaming could
evolve to include many thousands of people, and social networking could
become the main way we communicate.
