Comments on: More than 100 times faster than Wi-Fi?

IBM, among others, wants you to swap movies at a high rate of speed.

Range?

No discussion at all about range? Gigabit speeds aren't very interesting if you have to be sitting next to the AP to get them.

Probably Not Good

If the 700 MHz spectrum is so highly prized because those big, long waves aren't blocked by walls, the 60 GHz signal must die pretty fast (having such tiny wavelenghs).

Transfer rate

The transfer rate of 2.5 gigaBITS per second it is the equivalent of (2.5*1024)/8 = 320 megaBYTES per second. A 10 GB file would take (10*1024)/320 = 32 seconds to transfer (not five or so). Am I right?
Thank you.

correct

Yep, you're right. CNET bloggers generally get most of their facts wrong.. I've gotten used to the fact that they tend to be less knowledgeable than most of their readers.

ideally, you are correct

but i think in this case the author wasnt talking about theoretical speeds, i mean how many of us ever get the full advertised speed of our current ISPs or wireless routers anyways?
