THE internet could soon be made obsolete. The scientists who pioneered it have
now built a lightning-fast replacement capable of downloading entire feature
films within seconds.

At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the
grid” will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from
Britain to Japan in less than two seconds.

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.

By contrast, the grid has been built with dedicated fibre optic cables and
modern routing centres, meaning there are no outdated components to slow the
deluge of data. The 55,000 servers already installed are expected to rise to
200,000 within the next two years.
