Yeah my first thought was "eh grab 4 400gbit links and aggregate them and you've got 1.2tbit" granted there's probably some overhead or other bottlenecks that show up when trying to do link aggregation at such a high bandwidth that have to be worked out but this does not seem at all outside of current technological capabilities.

Heck I've seen the bundles of fiber that get buried along 2 lane county highways in rural Wisconsin, and this just does not sound impressive at all
