Since real-time really means real-time , we need Cape Canaveral-style ultra-fast & reliable connections allowing our FlatTurtle to update 1.000s & 1.000s of busses, trains, planes, cycles, trafficjams, weatherreports etc within milli-seconds.
Laurent and his cute dog (myFiFi) provides us that symmetric throughput rate of an amazing 50 Mb at a guaranteed high speed for both sending and receiving data in Brussels. http://www.myfifi.net (thanks to its dedicated dog, myFiFi can connect us, like any other company in Brussels in less than 47 hours, 12 minutes and 45 seconds) – or so we’ve been told. ;)
