Graphene going to replace your Ethernet cable?

The researchers explained that due to the particularly high mobility and velocity of the electrons in graphene, such graphene cell devices can be incredibly fast — tens or potentially hundreds of times faster than communication rates in the fastest Internet cables currently in use.

Not for another 10 years minimum.

But by then it will have become obsolete.

Correct. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc

Sounds like more of a development in the realm of fiber optics.... which I don't think any of us have plugged into their desktops. 10Gbps Ethernet already exists- copper wiring isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
