  Engineers are developing a new type of Internet connection that could carry so much data so quickly it might surprise even Net surfers. This technology would open up a route through which data can be sent at speeds thousands of times faster than what's possible now. If all goes to plan,the vast data speeds may soon be available to all. That might help solve the problem of how to handle the enormous growth in Internet traffic.The technology would require some new software and fiber-optic links to the PC,but otherwise no change in basic facilities.

  工程师们正在开发一种全新的互联网连接(技术),它可以在很短的时间内传输大量的数据,以至于这很可能给上网冲浪者带来意外惊喜. 这项技术可能打开一条通道, 通过这条通道,数据传输速度是现行网络技术传输速度的上千倍。如果这项开发得以实现,巨额的传输速度很快可以对所有人全面开放使用。 那就可能有助于解决网络通讯传输中数据膨胀,拥挤的难题. 这项技术将需要新的软件和光纤与个人电脑的连接。然而在别的方面 ,对于基础设备无需做其他改动。
