Brief: Smarty-pants Germanians transmit 26 terabytes/second over a single laser. At that rate, a user could download the entire contents of the Library of Contents in 10 seconds.

It's such a waste to be wasted in the first place
I wanna taste the taste of being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone, I listen to our secret theme

Using techniques called "fast Fourier transform" and "orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,"

Sweet, I love FFT's! Gives them the chance to go all Chinese Remainder Theorem on those terabytes' ass.
