It will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Or so the hyperbole would have it. You can't through the stock market, at least not yet. Several companies are leading the gigabit Ethernet service revolution. The top few include Yipes , Cogent and Telseon .
Gigabit refers to the amount of freight that can be shipped.
Ethernet is the railroad the freight is hauled on. Yipes is one of the pioneers at delivering super-fast connections to businesses using Ethernet as the last mile connection to data or hosting centers. Cogent was founded in Washington, D.C., two years ago by a local real estate developer. Telseon uses GigE principally in cities where it acts as a speedy distributor, connecting various data centers. The presumed advantage of Ethernet is that it can essentially stretch the cheap and reliable computer network out to meet the Internet's fiber optic backbone.
