Unit for measuring amounts of data. Amounts to 1.048.576 bits. For more information, see http://www.BITNET/ :-).
I know this has been discussed countless times on the net... i think that one megabit of trasmissive data is 10^6 ... :) but the URL is nice!
Unfortunately I think Liman is right this time. The term explained was "Mbit", not "Mbit/s". The former is for measuring amounts of data, conventionally 2^20 bits, the latter is a unit for measuring "transmission speed", conventionally 10^6 bits/s. - Håvard
