> $5 million dollar grant

For fiber? So I assume that they aren't going to be doing much digging, rather that they are going to string a few more lines alone already-existing paths.

>will make it possible to move data at speeds of 10 gigabits to 100 gigabits.

Wow.

In all seriousness: Kudos to whomever wrote the grant application. 5mil will keep people in work. But this project won't come anywhere near what is necessary to stream the data from 1% of the LHC's detectors. A private high-speed network is all well and good, but this isn't anything remarkable.
