I'm going to launch a couple DAT tapes across the parking lot with a spud gun 
and see if I can achieve 923 Mb/s!

It would have been nice if the reporter bothered to mention that "Internet 
speed records" are measured in terabit meters per second. An article 
about "Internet speed records" that doesn't include the actual record, or even 
a definition of the term "Internet speed record", is hardly deserving of 
placement on the front of cnn.com. Slow news day?
