Nice but I'm still left wondering what the J/bit of neutrino transmission would be. Wouldn't it be cool if we could replace the long fiber optics stretching around the globe with direct-through neutrino stations?

Given the difficulty in neutrino detection, I seriously doubt it would replace fat links. You could gain quite a bit of advantage when it comes to trading though using a low bandwidth link.

https://what-if.xkcd.com/73/ gives a fairly decent summary of the level of interaction of neutrinos.
