Infinite Bandwidth, Zero Latency - panel discussion
First generation broadband technology gave millions of users an ‘always-on’ connection to the net for the first time. This led to unforeseen, unanticipated and disruptive new applications like Wikipedia and Youtube. Next generation fibre optic broadband will be an even bigger challenge, with the potential for almost unlimited bandwidth and latency approaching zero. The chances are technology will have taken another step ahead of imagination.
Can we imagine? Can we anticipate the sort of new applications and services that might develop? More importantly, what new technologies will become possible with effectively unlimited bandwidth and near-zero latency?
