Using a 2Mbps connection and thinking you are at the edge? Think again. The most loved Internet may soon look like the floppy drives of early 90s compared to the Blue-ray disc. The inventor of the Web, CERN, a Swiss organisation, is laying bricks for the next-age communication with the Grid. The Grid is supposed to be 10,000 times faster than the current connections. On the lines of the Web, the Grid will first connect leading research and academic institutions. But eventually, it will reach homes as well. However, home user may not be 'directly' hooked to the Grid, but service telecom providers, ISVs will take some advantage of these technologies. Some have already started using dynamic switching which creates a dedicated channel for Internet users thus increases data transfer rate manifold. The Grid has already connected Cern with 11 centres in the United States, Canada, the Far East, Europe and around the world.
