The fastest-yet communications cable in Asia came online today (Aug. 20). The underwater fiber optic cable links Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore for high-speed, computerized stock trading. The system transmits information at 40 gigabits per second, three milliseconds faster than any other system in the region, the BBC reportedhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19275490. "The gain may sound small, but could prove critical to financial trades made out of the region," according to the report. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- -
