Well, my company sells storage products with capacities in the TB range.
You can get 1.6TB for about 6000 dollars. So a new technology like this is quite a few years away in terms of affordability for the end user. But a time will come when 1.6TB will be perfectly normal capacity for a home computer/storage device.

What set off my bullshit meter when I read this article is this:
Why would Sony be spending a double fuckload of cash developing Blu-Ray if there's a vastly superior technology about to be released? I can see Blu-Ray in late 2006 with 50 GB, then this in 2009 or so with 200 GB, scaling up to the full 1.6 TB by ~2012, before being supplanted by a new format a few years later. I can't see HD-DVD and Blu-Ray being proudly trotted out in the same year as this product, the execs of their companies blisfully unaware of holographic technology.

No porns?
I don't need porn! *whistles innocently*
