Here's a quote from something I just saw in the news:
Scientists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center used fiber-optic
cables to transfer 6.7 gigabytes of data -- the equivalent of two DVD
movies -- across 6,800 miles in less than a minute.

The team was able to
Big deal because it's 6800 miles for a full minute. An OC-48 can't push data
that fast that far or that long.

Yes it can. SONET is 60x60x24x7x52 at whatever rate the optics are running
at. Distance is not an issue. Upper-layer protocols (such as TCP) that
might

I don't understand...there are OC-192s (WDM, multiples on a fiber) in
operational use on quite a number of undersea cables.

they probably started measuring after the control and data 3-way handshakes
