As far as I can tell, the Nueral-Net is brain based

[Fletcher]

Good thinking there Nexus...yes, I figure it can receive...but the way I figure it, it's much more than just user generated content...It's everything we use the net for now, <strike>just accessed via the speed of thought.</strike>

While this is true on a planetary level; possibly, but you may need a good paid connection to get bandwidth that can handle that kind of speed. While transmission mediums are there, like optronic/organic fibres and relays on planets, in space I severely doubt its possible. Yes, processing may take place at those speeds, but accessing and writing external data and information is completely dependent on the bandwidth.

Take the remote desktop'ing as an example.

On the workstation you're using, you have all the speed you need to handle internal data, and the data on your terminal. But when you connect to another workstation either via the internet or LAN, the speed at which the data and information is changed is solely dependent on the processing and transmission rate of the recipient workstation.

The common bottleneck will forever be the transmission medium. Maybe in the future, we'll develop new technologies, but the common theory is that, even in space ages, the speed of light is only so fast, when we can travel to different solar systems.
