Data rate is 20 times higher than the best commonly used wi-fi standard.

This will be useful !   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18072618

Very interesting, but it does rather seem to be a solution which is in need of a problem to solve (if you see what I mean). :)

You mean the "must have that" people of this world ?

I cant help but wonder how long it will be before the technology is implemented.   It always strikes me as weird that despite GbE technology being around for a long time now and you can pick up Gb ethernet cards quite cheaply...  but its much harder to find a router which has an onboard Gigabit switch.  Too many still only have 10/100 ethernet and you have to buy separate giga bit switches...  so I cant imagine there being a big hurry for router manufacturers to include new wifi technology in adsl routers :(


--- Quote ---Terahertz wi-fi would probably only work over ranges of about 10m, but could in theory support data rates up to 100Gb/s - close to 15 times higher than the next-generation 802.11ac wi-fi standard that is under development.

mhmmmmmm...  100Gb/s...  could prove very useful for backup and transfer or data between local machines.  :D
However bearing in mind the limited availability (price) of 100GbE (does this need fibre?) ...  I think this may be a while in coming..  unless they can find a way to cheaply manufacture. :/
