As I expected in the previous post, all the shouts of the journalists that people downloading tons of video will overload bandwidth capacities of Internet Service Providers are ungrounded.

IBM presented a new fiber optical chipset that allows to transfer 160 Gigabits (20 Gbytes) per second.

There is also a nice article from Reuters about Web 2.0 startups funding.
They writes that investments in web 2.0 startups are not high, but doubled last year: $844.4 million for 167 firms in 2006, up from 95 companies year before and just 35 in 2004.
