A
collection of exactly
1000 bits. Not to be confused with
kilobyte as this is a collection of
1024 bytes. kilobits and n-bits are often used to
quantify serial data communications lines, as they only send
bits one bit at a time.
Example:
They have a 128000 kilobit ISDN line which currently has connected a single 64000 kilobit wireless PIAFS user in Japan.
