Are You Ready to Sustainably Create and/or Consume, and at the Speed of Light?
summary
Claims that global data will grow 16X by 2030 while energy needs could grow 13X, and that shifting from electrical to photonic networking cuts transmission energy by a large fraction. NTT invests $3.4B/year in R&D and runs an ION global forum; ION 1.0 experiments already link data centers across long distances, enabling distributed clusters and lower grid strain, with roadmap through ION 2.0 toward all-photonic chip-level connectivity to cut latency and power for AI and XR.
