JVC will produce a 14-speed (2,100Kb/sec) CD-ROM drive in volume by the end of the year. The Japanese giant intends to produce one million units a month by 1988 but is staying quiet about drive prices and the technology it will use.

Several companies including Hitachi and Pioneer have already come up with 10- and 12-speed drives but experts dispute whether very fast spin speeds will produce faster application performance as almost all software is still being written to slower drives.

The internet is going to have do a lot of maturing before it is ready for this kind of traffic. Security is always going to be a problem, connectivity is poor, and most business's are unwilling for their employees to have open access.
