Hmm Cray's... nice with a garlic butter sauce.

Exactly. The article clearly states the goals as being no blocking, and transparency around traffic management. They will be able to throttle whatever traffic types /sources they want, they'll just have to be open about the fact that they do.

WTF is a cubic ton? Contrary to what the enviro-warrior propagandists would have you think, this is not an evil coal waste product. It is dredge spoil from the ocean floor, the like of which has been dredged and dumped from every medium/deep water port along the coast. The only reason this is getting airplay is because the dredging is to expand a coal loading port, not a commercial fishing or leisure craft port. They couldn't get enough traction to stop the ships navigating through the reef to they are going after the next softest target.

TFS says jets, TFA says rockets. I don't think I'd want to be next to multiple rockets (or even one thanks).

I have, lamenting each time that our education system is releasing Network Admins into the wild with no RF knowledge. The story should have been...

We have now realise the error of our ways and are introducing compulsory RF Theory subjects to all our Networking courses.

Of course as others have said this is more marketing 'case study' by the antenna vendor than story. Notice TFA mentions that they did test antennas from other vendors, but give no indication of the relative performance. My bet is that most would be within the margin of error and that the ultimate choice came down to the discount they received for pushing out the 'case study' as news.

It is hardly newsworthy that a group of IT network techs 'fixed' their coverage and performance problems using directional antenna technology. Radio techs have been doing exactly that since they learnt about propagation. A newsworthy story would be that they have (finally) started incorporating at least basic RF theory in all IT networking related courses and subjects.
