About Kilobits
A kilobit (kbit) = 1,000 bits (SI). Standard unit for connection speeds: dial-up 9.6-56 kbit/s; ISDN 64-128 kbit/s; early ADSL 256 kbit/s. VoIP codecs: G.711 = 64 kbit/s; Opus (WhatsApp, Discord) = 6-510 kbit/s adaptive. Bluetooth LE up to 1,000 kbit/s; Zigbee/Z-Wave 20-250 kbit/s. 'kbit/s' = strictly decimal 1,000 bits/s (ITU/IEEE). 1 kbit = 1,000 bits = 125 bytes.
About Zebibits
A zebibit (Zibit) = 2⁷⁰ bits ≈ 1.18 × 10²¹ bits (IEC 80000-13). Total world manufactured digital storage in 2023 (≈ 10,000 EB ≈ 80,000 Ebit) is ≈ 67,000× smaller than 1 Zibit. A 70-bit byte address space would address 2⁷⁰ bytes = 128 ZiB of memory - far beyond any foreseeable architecture. At projected HDD areal density (10¹² bits/cm²), 1 Zibit would require ≈ 10⁹ cm² ≈ the area of Iceland. 1 Zibit = 2⁷⁰ bits = 128 EiB.
