Cisco announced a new core router, named CSR-3, delivering 322 Tbit/s:

My brother-in-law is part of this project. I'm not sure whether his part is the extra 22 Tera bits beyond 300, but he is there inside for the past years and has a major role there.

Whether this is a world shocking event for the internet world or not we will see, but for sure this is a landmark, comparing to the 56K b/sec not long ago (well, this is not an honest comparison, comparing home pace to core, but still the rate at the core level got from gigs to teras - factor of 1,000).

It's a very happy declaration for companies doing video services, IPTV etc. Of course there is still the need to propagate these paces to the homes, with fiber to the home, but this is already happening at some countries and will expand (Hong Kong, Hague, more Europe, and it happens that Kansas city even changed its name to get fiber).

With 322 Tbits/s it sounds that someone needs to really start working on teleporting.
