Comment Use two photon traps instead of a satellite (Score 1) 82

Don't know the capacity of present day photon traps, but if they could squeeze in say a couple of petabytes of those quantum entangled photons simultaneously into two photon traps at location A, then FedEx one photon trap to location B, then as I understand it, you would enjoy 1 GBit/s instantaneous IPv4/IPv6 between location A and B (regardless of distance) for say one year.
