Qwest and Verizon Business both moving toward 100 Gigabit Ethernet

Verizon Business is testing 100 Gbps links, with the intent of deploying the technology in its backbone next year. Now, Brad Reed reports that Qwest is also upgrading its backbone to 100G. The company says the project will continue throughout 2010. Analysts recently noted that 100G Ethernet equipment could go to market faster than 40G.
