ZDNet's "Your Digital Future" represents a fascinating, almost overwhelming look into the
changes we're likely to be seeing in:
-
E-Business (XML, WAP, human language translation, security, B2B technologies,
micropayments, enterprise-wide information systems, and more) http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/stories/reviews/0,6755,2608415,00.html
;
- Internet technologies (the Internet's growing pervasiveness, Instant Messaging
becoming as interoperable as the Web, applications that thrive on the "new
connectivity," secure protocols, better ways to deliver high-bandwidth
content, future "agent" technology, and more) http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/stories/reviews/0,6755,2608416,00.html
;
-
The infrastructures that tie all this together and allow it all to work
(fiber-fiber-fiber, wireless of many different flavors, PDAs and cell phones,
radios -- from ultra wideband to software-defined, and more)
http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/stories/reviews/0,6755,2608417,00.html
;
- Computing technologies (.18 to .13 micron chips, silicon-on-insulator, and
copper interconnects yielding 12 GHz chips by 2005! Commodity systems in 2003
that have 5 GHz processors, 10 gigabytes of memory, 300 gigabyte hard drives,
and half-gigabit/second USB. A look
into evolving chip architectures, and all of this leading to systems that "will
still be outdated within a year of purchase."
Graphics performance in 2005 will be 1.6 trillion pixels at 48 billion
polygons per second. And 1 terabyte disk drives that same year.
And more.) http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/stories/reviews/0,6755,2608418,00.html

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.
The idea of references is still useful but you can also do a up to the minute search by a hyper text link that includes the key words -

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
by Dee McVicker
February 11, 2000
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

There is optic to the door provided by the utility company. It is a common carrier
providing:
TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition system -
programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire on any of the
screens around the wired house you desire.
There is no need for program schedules
- movies and other video content are downloaded on demand from world wide
services. Some charge fees some are free with or without ads. You can watch the
BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.
There is no need for movie
or music channels since you can order anything you want anytime.
The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays, or purchased and
transferred to CD or DVD -
The same with interactive media - games and
educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you leave the security
system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any motion with recording of
motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you click from your cell phone that
you are returning home - the lights and heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and
the doors unsecured.
The cell phone - palm pilot - personal digital assistant works at 400 kbps to 4 Mbs
with GPS, e-mail and other web content, fold up or screen keyboards, long life
batteries, high gain reception of dense multiplex time division wideband GS3 codes.
Europe, with its common GSM standard, will likely usher in "3G" technologies (with their 2 megabit/second

The master computer works
within a network "master server in the sky" to provide services you need or enjoy.
Shopping, banking, tele-communities, video conferences, design and research,

The master server bills for usage in micro pennies for "extras" but charges a
flat fee for "basic services". Several master server companies compete for services
on the common carrier -
The services are not tied to the wire - optic cable - so there are two bills - one for
connection services - the wireless and wired ( optic ) and another from the service
company that passes along charges for rentals, fee for service charges, software
licenses, communications on and off net, as we do today with local and long distance
phone services and premium cable services.
Where is the money made ? Optic fiber hardware - mobile hardware, utility
company right-of-way and network services, the "general utility service company"
maybe AOL, Microsoft, NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and
form communities. I would like to work with organizations that want to get ahead of
the curve in both the learning and technology game.
I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and
record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.
What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?
ISky, an Englewood, Colo., company that will offer broadband
Internet access across North America via satellite,
http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20000118S0016
ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet
connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access
to anyone with its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability
to hook up, similar to the way some television programming is available
via satellite today.
Then are AOL and Time Warner crazy in putting their money on
cable. I clearly believe that wireless and optic fiber will by pass cable
with increased satellite capacity. For awhile - maybe 10 years there will
be DSL - copper wires, cable and some wireless - but the nano age and optic
capacities will jump to wireless - also as I keep saying it's CHINA, stupid
- What is going on between the European Union, Eastern Europe and the rest
of the world does matter.
They don't have wires in much of the world -
they do have power lines
Maybe MicroSoft - Gates will pull of a wireless revolution with levels
of service and prices to blow the others away.
The phone company could have gone DSL in the 1960's, the Cable
companies could have gone two way digital in the 70's or 80's or hybrid
in the 90's how long is too long before someone rushes past you ? Plus
I hate wired that belong to someone - it's anti- competitive.
Also some new technology may come along to change all the rules

"Nortel has used its technology, called Digital PowerLine (DPL), successfully in European and Asian markets. Currently, the company has agreements with 10 non-U.S. utilities that serve 35 million homes, says Dan Middleton, director of carrier packet solutions at Nortel's power line networks division.
If physicist Luke Stewart can do what he says he can send voice, video,
and data thousands of miles over electric lines at the speed of light he
will produce perhaps the most significant development in communications
since Alexander Graham Bell.
That could take the company he cofounded in North Dallas, Media Fusion
L.L.C., to heights greater than Microsoft in both earnings and market value.
I do think that nano quantum computers - optic and laser [acronym for
light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation], device for the
creation and amplification of a narrow, intense beam of coherent LIGHT.
connected to wideband wireless will be the most important events of our
time - having more importance than the silly political debates, because
economics come from the structure of industry and enterprise - clearly
the railroads, automobiles, radio, TV, computers and the internet are the
drivers of our history - culture - social being - and therefore our economy
and political system.
The new world order is not an idea or ideology but
of commerce based on transportation and communications. Bill Gates, Edison,
Ford, are the great forgers of our times -

building and upgrading the infrastructure -- not only in the
U.S., but around the world -- to support higher speed applications for
Internet access, video and voice services in the ''last mile/kilometer``
of communications networks.
The reference to the Battle of the Airwaves
was to a Burns PBS show and http://www.wiredbrain.net/Disintermediation.htm
The analogy to the non-pc NEXUM and the broadband that makes it possible
via cable - wireless - optic fiber systems is quite close.

comments on
http://www.wiredbrain.net/webmaster.htm
The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??
The keys are both the hand held portable GMS and the home appliance - the
universal communications device that runs as a terminal - software ( by
MS ) and OS by MS - to provide operations on a rental or fixed fee for
service system - It owns the pipe - it owns the birds - it owns the OS
- but provides content and services for all ( Bill's idea of open systems
) This is where AOL should have been going rather than content which is
begging for distribution. Content must have eyeballs - but the owner of
the pipe and OS is KING !
In 1997 LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Service -- has become
the Manhattan Project of the telecommunications industry.
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/print/970908/inwk0002.html
But then what happened - several companies pay top dollar fourthe
new 28-gigahertz broadband connection - several went bankrupt NOW http://www4.zdnet.com:80/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2419875,00.html
McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel
Nextlink etc. and create a last mile system build on optic fiber with a
wireless last mile - Time division hardware is out there -
I should mention the NEXUM ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
)
The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions
in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless
for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone
i.e. voice
Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable ?
McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major
Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band offrequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘householdutility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).
In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. Ibelieve in wireless - optic
broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar -
The issue
is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions of new users
and can't string wires -but can run a optic fiber backbone with radio towersCDM
code or time division multiplex - either only needs a little push to get
there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up - these are the BIG issues.
Who controls the rules and protocols controls a lot.
IN BROADBAND WARS, WILL DSL SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE CABLE?
Wireless - see below -
By Peter Jerram Red Herring Online September 23, 1998 http://www.redherring.com/insider/1998/0923/coppercable.html
The rise of the Internet has fueled a tremendous demand for faster access
by both business users and consumers.
On the home front, Internet users are maxing out on 56K modems, with
many poking along at half that speed, or less. Businesses have access to
higher speed leased lines, but pay steep tariffs to telcos for the privilege.
Many feel the constrained bandwidth is stunting the development of Internet
content and applications.
"Once we enable high speed, we'll enable all kinds of new applications,
and no one really knows where that's going to take us," says Lisa Pelgrim,
senior analyst with Dataquest in San Jose.
But where it's taking us is a question that's ahead of itself; where
we are right now in terms of competing broadband opportunities is still
at issue.
Worth the wait?
Several companies, led by @Home (ATHM) and Time Warner's (TWX) Road
Runner, are touting Internet access services using the television cables
already installed in a majority of American homes. By using this existing
infrastructure, fast, cheap Internet access could be available to millions
of homes.
After two years of trials, however, cable deployment is spotty, with
fewer than 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. In the headlong
rush of the computer industry, progress has seemed glacial at best.
"People I talk to in Silicon Valley don't believe [cable] exists because
if it did it would be there first," says Michael Harris, an analyst with
TeleChoice in Phoenix.
Deployment was delayed in part as cable operators waited for modem standards,
and for the price of modems, to fall to a retail price of under $300. Operators
also underestimated the infrastructure challenges in rolling out Internet
access.
"
They got into the field and realized it was going to be a little harder
than they thought," says Harris.
Going two-way
Industry leader TCI (TCOMA) feeds about 20 million homes, but only about
1.2 million of those are now two-way capable, according to TeleChoice.
Despite the condition of TCI's network, AT&T (T) paid $28 billion for
TCI to get at it. "AT&T purchased infrastructure," says Ms. Pelgrim.
With interoperable modem standards finally in place and prices dropping
into the consumer comfort zone, TCI and other cable operators are now on
the cusp of large-scale deployment -- a central proviso of AT&T's acquisition.
"
The entire merger was predicated on pervasive deployment of cable-modem
technology," says Henry T. Nicholas, chairman and CEO of broadband chipmaker
Broadcom (BRCM). "AT&T paid a premium with the understanding that two
way upgrading was underway."
Mr. Nicholas says that TCI will have its network 50 percent two-way
enabled by next year, and he should know. In a recent announcement, Broadcom
revealed that it has integrated all of the cable-modem media access control
(MAC) and physical layer transmission functionality into a single chip
instead of three.
The company said this will mean that next-generation cable modems will
be smaller and cost less for consumers while being able to deliver data,
digital video, telephony, and Internet access at speeds up to 56 megabits
per second, or 1,000 times faster than standard 56k voice-band modems.
Moreover, Broadcom's new chip has the circuitry for phone connections
through TV cable, which would allow cable companies to offer Internet access
at rates more competitive with phone companies. According to
The Wall Street
Journal, the new chips are expected to cost around $50 each in small allotments
--- about the same as the current three-chip set -- but maybe half that
or less in large orders.
This announcement may just give cable the nudge, and even the market
validation, needed for cable to become the more adopted broadband standard.
Will the telcos ever get it?
Meanwhile, the telcos are pinning their hopes on digital subscriber
lines (DSL), a means of delivering high bandwidth digital signals over
ordinary copper phone lines.
In the past several months, most of the regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs) have announced DSL service. "
The pressure is on the phone companies
to keep up [with cable]," says Mr. Harris.
Telcos are focusing mainly on small and medium-sized businesses, although
most carriers also offer plans for residential customers. DSL speeds range
from 128K to 8 Mbps.
The high end of that range places DSL squarely in
the realm of traditional leased lines, which are far more costly.
The telcos
are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs
higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
Early indications are that the carriers will run into some of the same
infrastructure issues that have plagued cable operators. DSL service is
only available to customers within about three miles of a telco central
office, which eliminates more than half of otherwise eligible customers.
Telcos are also finding that the condition of local loop wiring limits
its ability to carry high speed data reliably. Ubiquitous DSL coverage
may require reworking the copper wire infrastructure, an undertaking that
was not in the plan.
"Telcos are in a catch-22 -- do they really want to reconfigure their
plant for DSL, or do they do something else like fiber to the curb?" say
Mr. Harris.
Many in the industry have found themselves up against the fabled telco
bureaucracy as well.
"
The RBOCs have moved slower than we would have liked, it's been refreshing
to work with the cable companies by comparison," says Heidi Clark, chairman
and CEO of broadband equipment supplier Cayman.
Several analysts also questioned whether the telcos would seriously
consider cannibalizing their profitable leased-line businesses. Competitive
local exchange carriers (CLECs), which lease lines from the RBOCs, do not
have such a conflict, and several, including Covad Communications, are
offering DSL service to Internet service providers. However, since the
CLECs depend on RBOCs for copper wire, their fortunes are tied to the telcos.
Disagreeing to agree
There is no reason for this to be vapor hardware -
There is a lot of smart money and IBM as a OEM -
The press seems
to have rushed to print before they think -
The long road to the post MS

LinusTorvalds.
Transmeta showed two chips, both of which the company claims
consume just a single watt of power.
The TM3120, available now, is designed
for $500 to $999 Linux-based "Web pads" and is fully x86 compatible. Its
price ranges from $65 for a 333 MHz version to $89 for a 400 MHz version.

English sailor who, by virtue of his own ingenuity, survives for years
on a small tropical island.

power ?
When he unveiled the TM3120, Mr. Ditzel said it will run a "new class
of computers," and he held up a mobile computing device that was nearly
as large as a notebook computer, but its entire face was a touch
screen. When he tapped the screen, a virtual keyboard appeared on it, and,
thanks to a built-in wireless connection, he was on the Internet.
http://www.redherring.com/insider/2000/0120/news-transmeta.html
http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_4372.html
How about a break up of the Intel MS cartel -
The TM5400 is aimed
at Windows-based notebooks selling for $1,200 to $2,500.
The chip is in
the sampling stage now and is expected to be available by
the middle of the year.
The x86-compatible microprocessor will be
priced at $119 for the 500 MHz version and $329 for the 700 MHz. Mr. Ditzel
said that the two new processors are the first microprocessors whose instruction
set is implemented entirely with software. Analysts said they were unaware
of any other chipmakers using a similar approach. It would take about two
years -- and some reverse engineering of Transmeta's chips -- for a major
chipmaker to get to market with a similar offering, Mr. Enderle says.
It is the software approach that makes Transmeta's chips easier to
design, Mr. Ditzel says. Because they're simpler, they generate less heat
than normal microprocessors, he adds.
As was first reported by Redherring.com, the Transmeta chip combines
"code morphing" software with a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor.
Mr. Ditzel said that three-quarters of the
chip's capabilities comes from the code-morphing software, including
its x86 compatibility and its PC-like performance. Another Transmeta official
said the software means a notebook computer can run for one full day on
a single battery.
The VLIW technology means the chip uses significantly
fewer transistors than chips with similar speeds, making them easier to
design and produce.
Transmeta is partnering with IBM for manufacturing. It has an entire
design team in IBM's Essex Junction, Vermont, facility.
Mr. Ditzel noted that Crusoe was a platform, and he said that means
that Transmeta has "all of the technology pieces to allow computer manufacturers
to bring complete products to market." To date, it has raised "in the hundreds
of millions of dollars," he says.
The first VC round was led by Institutional
Venture Partners and the Walden Group (where Mr. Tai was a partner back
in 1995); the second round was led by Integral Capital Partners, the third
by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, and the fourth by billionaire investor
George Soros's funds.
Despite the hurdles, DSL appears to have stirred up considerable interest
in the computer industry.
In June, networking-equipment vendors Cisco (CSCO), Ascend (ASND) and
Cabletron (CS) all acquired or invested in DSL technology suppliers. And
a consortium of companies called UAWG, which includes Microsoft (MSFT),
Compaq (CPQ), and Intel (INTC), is working on a set of DSL standards that
will make it easier to install DSL, and will require less hardware.
However, without a current agreement by all of the RBOCs on a common
flavor of DSL, and given the recent consensus of the computer industry
on modem standards, DSL may even fall further behind cable at this point.
"
There is no widespread agreement among the telcos," says Mr. Nicholas,
"
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
Still, if the telco industry is able to reach consensus quickly, DSL
may make inroads as the cable operators spend time building out their own
networks.
"Cable has a head start, but is nowhere near ubiquitous," says Ken Hoexter,
a vice president at Goldman Sachs. "
There's room for multiple ways of reaching
the end user."
Microsoft is one heavyweight in particular which is characteristically
mindful of those opportunities. As the cable and telco players decamp to
their respective corners, Microsoft is hedging its bets as a DSL booster
-- who also happens to have a $1 billion investment in cable operator Comcast
(CMCSA).

Ever wondered how some gas stations can authenticate your credit
card so quickly? ( At the pump ) A satellite connection eliminates a traditional
dial-up modem connection. In this instance, ground stations at many hundreds
of gas stations can share the same slice of expensive satellite spectrum
using a TDMA (time-division multiple access) approach. Since the duty cycle
for any one station is very low, this approach is extremely efficient.
The net result is that rather than paying five cents to complete the transaction
with a long-distancecall, the company only pays a few pennies to do so
via satellite. And in a busy gas station, the resulting savings can pay
for the $3,000 satellite terminal in just 18 months
Well your local ISP which has a wireless link to your home or office
and the uplink can provide high bandwidth today - at a lower cost to the
ISPthan traditional T1 T3 lines
The question becomes the last mile / Km for consumers but not for
business - and there are thousands of chains - Did anyone say McDonnell's
-Grocery stores - drug stores - Dept. stores - Doctors and hospitals and
insurance -travel agents - banks - ATM's - brokers - all cut the wire and
clear transactions in real time from their terminals or cash registers
or cell phones anywhere and can do inventory and B2B in real time? once
it reaches critical mass the price goes down and the speed and bandwidth
goes up - maybe even faster then in computing - 1/2 the price and twice
the capacity every 18 months.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (Bentonville, Ark.) uses VSATs to link hundreds
oftheir facilities together. Paging networks use VSATs to send paging messages
to transmitters. Nationwide newspaper companies use satellites to send
contents to multiple printing locations. Why? Because the same message
is sent out to multiple transmitters for time-synchronized transmission.
ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet
connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access
to anyonewith its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability
to hook (look) up, similar to the way some television programming is available

Small and medium businesses and many households are clamoring for
more bandwidth. Demand for high-speed Internet and data networks is growing
exponentially, but only a few privileged large corporations have fiber
access. Around the world, telecom markets are liberalizing, with new competitors
and incumbents positioning themselves to meet the demands of the new millennium.
LMDS and other broadband fixed wireless technologies are proving
to be a viable solution. LMDS and related technologies offer broadband
speeds with a quick time to market, an attractive capital structure, and
no need to dig up streets. In addition, they support multiple applications,
delivering voice, video, and high-speed data - a major benefit given the
current trends toward convergence of data and voice networks and the growing
popularity of bundled services.
October 26, 1999 New Alliance Will Promote Wireless Access to Internet
By DAVID BARBOZA
group of leading technology companies said Monday that they would form
an alliance to create products that would allow consumers to get high-speed
Internet access through a wireless system within the next year.
The consortium -- which is led by Cisco Systems Inc., the giant Internet
networking company, and Motorola Inc., the maker of wireless telephone
products -- is essentially backing an alternative to delivering broadband
Internet access through underground cables and wires.
The race to bring broadband Internet access to consumers has led
to several alliances that promise to deliver that kind of service through
satellites, cellular telephone networks and standard cable and telephone
lines. Now, the group headed by Cisco and Motorola is trying to provide
a cheaper and more effective solution to digging up the ground and laying
cables:
They want to deliver data, voice and video services over the airwaves
and directly into buildings and homes that are affixed with antennas or
the equivalent of a satellite dish.
"This is the technology that is going to take the fixed broadband
wireless market into the next millennium," said Steve Smith, director of
marketing in the broadband wireless business unit at Cisco Systems, which
is based in San Jose, Calif. "This gets consumers Internet access without
tearing up the ground."
Officials at Cisco Systems said Monday that a group of 10 companies
-- Motorola, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Bechtel Telecommunications, Samsung,
Toshiba, LCC International, EDS, KPMG Consulting and Pace Microtechnology
-- had agreed to create and develop products that use a Cisco technology,
one that is equipped to deliver Internet service over a radio frequency
called MMDS.
Aware that the AT&T Corp. was moving into cable television and
developing a system capable of delivering high-speed Internet access through
its cable services, MCI Worldcom and Sprint have spent about $1 billion
in the last few years to buy many of the companies that owned the licenses
to the MMDS radio spectrum. Three weeks ago, MCI Worldcom agreed to acquire
Sprint in a $115 billion merger.
If the technology is successful, it appears that Internet service
providers will be able to choose among cable operators, wireless service
providers and perhaps even satellite operators like Teledesic LLC, which
is developing a kind of "Internet in the Sky" technology, a multibillion-dollar
plan backed by the cellular telephone pioneer Craig McCaw and William H.
Gates of Microsoft.
Cisco Systems and Motorola are also backing something called LMDS,
which is another radio frequency that offers broadband access, mostly to
businesses. According to Cisco officials, however, the MMDS system is more
effective in crowded urban areas and is more easily available to everyday
consumers and the mass market.
Robert Edwards, a spokesman at Motorola, which is based in Schaumburg,
Ill., said Monday that the company was backing both the LMDS and MMDS technologies
and working to develop a large portfolio of offerings so that big technology
companies and consumers could have a wide range of alternatives to getting
broadband access.
The companies involved in the agreement Monday said that the ability
to deliver high-speed broadband access through a wireless system would
also rapidly accelerate the introduction of broadband services to rural
areas and urban centers, and do so more easily and inexpensively.

Small and medium businesses and many households are clamoring for
more bandwidth. Demand for high-speed Internet and data networks is growing
exponentially, but only a few privileged large corporations have fiber
access. Around the world, telecom markets are liberalizing, with new competitors
and incumbents positioning themselves to meet the demands of the new millennium.
LMDS and other broadband fixed wireless technologies are proving
to be a viable solution. LMDS and related technologies offer broadband
speeds with a quick time to market, an attractive capital structure, and
no need to dig up streets. In addition, they support multiple applications,
delivering voice, video, and high-speed data - a major benefit given the
current trends toward convergence of data and voice networks and the growing
popularity of bundled services.

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.
The idea of references is still useful but you can also do a up to the minute search by a hyper text link that includes the key words -

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.
Not news - cloudy vision part two :

Gates for the first time emphasized the Web browser as the central application of computing. Echoing remarks made by counterparts Marc Andreessen and Scott McNealy four years ago, Gates said the network is even more important than the computer.
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/topics/f2k/default.asp
Microsoft is creating an advanced new generation of software that will meld computing and communications in revolutionary new ways; offer every developer the tools to transform the Web and all other aspects of the computing experience; and enable businesses, knowledge workers and consumers to employ technology on their own terms.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
by Dee McVicker
February 11, 2000
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

There is optic to the door provided by the utility company. It is a common carrier
providing:
TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition system -
programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire on any of the
screens around the wired house you desire.
There is no need for program schedules
- movies and other video content are downloaded on demand from world wide
services. Some charge fees some are free with or without ads. You can watch the
BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.
There is no need for movie
or music channels since you can order anything you want anytime.
The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays, or purchased and
transferred to CD or DVD -
The same with interactive media - games and
educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you leave the security
system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any motion with recording of
motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you click from your cell phone that
you are returning home - the lights and heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and
the doors unsecured.
The cell phone - palm pilot - personal digital assistant works at 400 kbps to 4 Mbs
with GPS, e-mail and other web content, fold up or screen keyboards, long life
batteries, high gain reception of dense multiplex time division wideband GS3 codes.
Europe, with its common GSM standard, will likely usher in "3G" technologies (with their 2 megabit/second

The master computer works
within a network "master server in the sky" to provide services you need or enjoy.
Shopping, banking, tele-communities, video conferences, design and research,
games and social activities, travel and adventure, and tuned to your interests and
desires.
The master server bills for usage in micro pennies for "extras" but charges a
flat fee for "basic services". Several master server companies compete for services
on the common carrier -
The services are not tied to the wire - optic cable - so there are two bills - one for
connection services - the wireless and wired ( optic ) and another from the service
company that passes along charges for rentals, fee for service charges, software
licenses, communications on and off net, as we do today with local and long distance
phone services and premium cable services.
Where is the money made ? Optic fiber hardware - mobile hardware, utility
company right-of-way and network services, the "general utility service company"
maybe AOL, Microsoft, NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun
Microsystems and everyone else ) Amazon, or others which provides the interface
between the user and service providers - banks, insurance, finance and markets,
shopping, software and music and games and movies and communications, and
entertainment, security, smart home management, and on and on...

Broadband frequencies allow high-capacity data transmission.
Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and
form communities. I would like to work with organizations that want to get ahead of
the curve in both the learning and technology game.
I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and
record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.
What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?
ISky, an Englewood, Colo., company that will offer broadband
Internet access across North America via satellite,
http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20000118S0016
ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet
connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access
to anyone with its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability
to hook up, similar to the way some television programming is available
via satellite today.
Then are AOL and Time Warner crazy in putting their money on
cable. I clearly believe that wireless and optic fiber will by pass cable
with increased satellite capacity. For awhile - maybe 10 years there will
be DSL - copper wires, cable and some wireless - but the nano age and optic
capacities will jump to wireless - also as I keep saying it's CHINA, stupid
- What is going on between the European Union, Eastern Europe and the rest
of the world does matter.
They don't have wires in much of the world -
they do have power lines
Maybe MicroSoft - Gates will pull of a wireless revolution with levels
of service and prices to blow the others away.
The phone company could have gone DSL in the 1960's, the Cable
companies could have gone two way digital in the 70's or 80's or hybrid
in the 90's how long is too long before someone rushes past you ? Plus
I hate wired that belong to someone - it's anti- competitive.
Also some new technology may come along to change all the rules
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2270684.html
"Nortel has used its technology, called Digital PowerLine (DPL), successfully in European and Asian markets. Currently, the company has agreements with 10 non-U.S. utilities that serve 35 million homes, says Dan Middleton, director of carrier packet solutions at Nortel's power line networks division.
If physicist Luke Stewart can do what he says he can send voice, video,
and data thousands of miles over electric lines at the speed of light he
will produce perhaps the most significant development in communications
since Alexander Graham Bell.
That could take the company he cofounded in North Dallas, Media Fusion
L.L.C., to heights greater than Microsoft in both earnings and market value.
I do think that nano quantum computers - optic and laser [acronym for
light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation], device for the
creation and amplification of a narrow, intense beam of coherent LIGHT.
connected to wideband wireless will be the most important events of our
time - having more importance than the silly political debates, because
economics come from the structure of industry and enterprise - clearly
the railroads, automobiles, radio, TV, computers and the internet are the
drivers of our history - culture - social being - and therefore our economy
and political system.
The new world order is not an idea or ideology but
of commerce based on transportation and communications. Bill Gates, Edison,
Ford, are the great forgers of our times -

building and upgrading the infrastructure -- not only in the
U.S., but around the world -- to support higher speed applications for
Internet access, video and voice services in the ''last mile/kilometer``
of communications networks.
The reference to the Battle of the Airwaves
was to a Burns PBS show and http://www.wiredbrain.net/Disintermediation.htm
The analogy to the non-pc NEXUM and the broadband that makes it possible
via cable - wireless - optic fiber systems is quite close.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
comments on
http://www.wiredbrain.net/webmaster.htm
The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??
The keys are both the hand held portable GMS and the home appliance - the
universal communications device that runs as a terminal - software ( by
MS ) and OS by MS - to provide operations on a rental or fixed fee for
service system - It owns the pipe - it owns the birds - it owns the OS
- but provides content and services for all ( Bill's idea of open systems
) This is where AOL should have been going rather than content which is
begging for distribution. Content must have eyeballs - but the owner of
the pipe and OS is KING !
In 1997 LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Service -- has become
the Manhattan Project of the telecommunications industry.
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/print/970908/inwk0002.html
But then what happened - several companies pay top dollar fourthe
new 28-gigahertz broadband connection - several went bankrupt NOW http://www4.zdnet.com:80/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2419875,00.html
McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel
Nextlink etc. and create a last mile system build on optic fiber with a
wireless last mile - Time division hardware is out there -
I should mention the NEXUM ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
)
The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions
in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless
for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone
i.e. voice
Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable ?
McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major
Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band offrequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘householdutility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).
In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. Ibelieve in wireless - optic
broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar -
The issue
is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions of new users
and can't string wires -but can run a optic fiber backbone with radio towersCDM
code or time division multiplex - either only needs a little push to get
there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up - these are the BIG issues.
Who controls the rules and protocols controls a lot.
IN BROADBAND WARS, WILL DSL SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE CABLE?
Wireless - see below -
By Peter Jerram Red Herring Online September 23, 1998 http://www.redherring.com/insider/1998/0923/coppercable.html
The rise of the Internet has fueled a tremendous demand for faster access
by both business users and consumers.
On the home front, Internet users are maxing out on 56K modems, with
many poking along at half that speed, or less. Businesses have access to
higher speed leased lines, but pay steep tariffs to telcos for the privilege.
Many feel the constrained bandwidth is stunting the development of Internet
content and applications.
"Once we enable high speed, we'll enable all kinds of new applications,
and no one really knows where that's going to take us," says Lisa Pelgrim,
senior analyst with Dataquest in San Jose.
But where it's taking us is a question that's ahead of itself; where
we are right now in terms of competing broadband opportunities is still
at issue.
Worth the wait?
Several companies, led by @Home (ATHM) and Time Warner's (TWX) Road
Runner, are touting Internet access services using the television cables
already installed in a majority of American homes. By using this existing
infrastructure, fast, cheap Internet access could be available to millions
of homes.
After two years of trials, however, cable deployment is spotty, with
fewer than 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. In the headlong
rush of the computer industry, progress has seemed glacial at best.
"People I talk to in Silicon Valley don't believe [cable] exists because
if it did it would be there first," says Michael Harris, an analyst with
TeleChoice in Phoenix.
Deployment was delayed in part as cable operators waited for modem standards,
and for the price of modems, to fall to a retail price of under $300. Operators
also underestimated the infrastructure challenges in rolling out Internet
access.
"
They got into the field and realized it was going to be a little harder
than they thought," says Harris.
Going two-way
Industry leader TCI (TCOMA) feeds about 20 million homes, but only about
1.2 million of those are now two-way capable, according to TeleChoice.
Despite the condition of TCI's network, AT&T (T) paid $28 billion for
TCI to get at it. "AT&T purchased infrastructure," says Ms. Pelgrim.
With interoperable modem standards finally in place and prices dropping
into the consumer comfort zone, TCI and other cable operators are now on
the cusp of large-scale deployment -- a central proviso of AT&T's acquisition.
"
The entire merger was predicated on pervasive deployment of cable-modem
technology," says Henry T. Nicholas, chairman and CEO of broadband chipmaker
Broadcom (BRCM). "AT&T paid a premium with the understanding that two
way upgrading was underway."
Mr. Nicholas says that TCI will have its network 50 percent two-way
enabled by next year, and he should know. In a recent announcement, Broadcom
revealed that it has integrated all of the cable-modem media access control
(MAC) and physical layer transmission functionality into a single chip
instead of three.
The company said this will mean that next-generation cable modems will
be smaller and cost less for consumers while being able to deliver data,
digital video, telephony, and Internet access at speeds up to 56 megabits
per second, or 1,000 times faster than standard 56k voice-band modems.
Moreover, Broadcom's new chip has the circuitry for phone connections
through TV cable, which would allow cable companies to offer Internet access
at rates more competitive with phone companies. According to
The Wall Street
Journal, the new chips are expected to cost around $50 each in small allotments
--- about the same as the current three-chip set -- but maybe half that
or less in large orders.
This announcement may just give cable the nudge, and even the market
validation, needed for cable to become the more adopted broadband standard.
Will the telcos ever get it?
Meanwhile, the telcos are pinning their hopes on digital subscriber
lines (DSL), a means of delivering high bandwidth digital signals over
ordinary copper phone lines.
In the past several months, most of the regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs) have announced DSL service. "
The pressure is on the phone companies
to keep up [with cable]," says Mr. Harris.
Telcos are focusing mainly on small and medium-sized businesses, although
most carriers also offer plans for residential customers. DSL speeds range
from 128K to 8 Mbps.
The high end of that range places DSL squarely in
the realm of traditional leased lines, which are far more costly.
The telcos
are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs
higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
Early indications are that the carriers will run into some of the same
infrastructure issues that have plagued cable operators. DSL service is
only available to customers within about three miles of a telco central
office, which eliminates more than half of otherwise eligible customers.
Telcos are also finding that the condition of local loop wiring limits
its ability to carry high speed data reliably. Ubiquitous DSL coverage
may require reworking the copper wire infrastructure, an undertaking that
was not in the plan.
"Telcos are in a catch-22 -- do they really want to reconfigure their
plant for DSL, or do they do something else like fiber to the curb?" say
Mr. Harris.
Many in the industry have found themselves up against the fabled telco
bureaucracy as well.
"
The RBOCs have moved slower than we would have liked, it's been refreshing
to work with the cable companies by comparison," says Heidi Clark, chairman
and CEO of broadband equipment supplier Cayman.
Several analysts also questioned whether the telcos would seriously
consider cannibalizing their profitable leased-line businesses. Competitive
local exchange carriers (CLECs), which lease lines from the RBOCs, do not
have such a conflict, and several, including Covad Communications, are
offering DSL service to Internet service providers. However, since the
CLECs depend on RBOCs for copper wire, their fortunes are tied to the telcos.
Disagreeing to agree
There is no reason for this to be vapor hardware -
There is a lot of smart money and IBM as a OEM -

Transmeta showed two chips, both of which the company claims
consume just a single watt of power.
The TM3120, available now, is designed
for $500 to $999 Linux-based "Web pads" and is fully x86 compatible. Its
price ranges from $65 for a 333 MHz version to $89 for a 400 MHz version.

English sailor who, by virtue of his own ingenuity, survives for years

When he unveiled the TM3120, Mr. Ditzel said it will run a "new class
of computers," and he held up a mobile computing device that was nearly
as large as a notebook computer, but its entire face was a touch
screen. When he tapped the screen, a virtual keyboard appeared on it, and,
thanks to a built-in wireless connection, he was on the Internet.
http://www.redherring.com/insider/2000/0120/news-transmeta.html
http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_4372.html
How about a break up of the Intel MS cartel -
The TM5400 is aimed
at Windows-based notebooks selling for $1,200 to $2,500.
The chip is in
the sampling stage now and is expected to be available by
the middle of the year.
The x86-compatible microprocessor will be
priced at $119 for the 500 MHz version and $329 for the 700 MHz. Mr. Ditzel
said that the two new processors are the first microprocessors whose instruction
set is implemented entirely with software. Analysts said they were unaware
of any other chipmakers using a similar approach. It would take about two
years -- and some reverse engineering of Transmeta's chips -- for a major
chipmaker to get to market with a similar offering, Mr. Enderle says.
It is the software approach that makes Transmeta's chips easier to
design, Mr. Ditzel says. Because they're simpler, they generate less heat
than normal microprocessors, he adds.
As was first reported by Redherring.com, the Transmeta chip combines
"code morphing" software with a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor.
Mr. Ditzel said that three-quarters of the
chip's capabilities comes from the code-morphing software, including
its x86 compatibility and its PC-like performance. Another Transmeta official
said the software means a notebook computer can run for one full day on
a single battery.
The VLIW technology means the chip uses significantly
fewer transistors than chips with similar speeds, making them easier to
design and produce.
Transmeta is partnering with IBM for manufacturing. It has an entire
design team in IBM's Essex Junction, Vermont, facility.
Mr. Ditzel noted that Crusoe was a platform, and he said that means
that Transmeta has "all of the technology pieces to allow computer manufacturers
to bring complete products to market." To date, it has raised "in the hundreds
of millions of dollars," he says.
The first VC round was led by Institutional
Venture Partners and the Walden Group (where Mr. Tai was a partner back
in 1995); the second round was led by Integral Capital Partners, the third
by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, and the fourth by billionaire investor
George Soros's funds.
Despite the hurdles, DSL appears to have stirred up considerable interest
in the computer industry.
In June, networking-equipment vendors Cisco (CSCO), Ascend (ASND) and
Cabletron (CS) all acquired or invested in DSL technology suppliers. And
a consortium of companies called UAWG, which includes Microsoft (MSFT),
Compaq (CPQ), and Intel (INTC), is working on a set of DSL standards that
will make it easier to install DSL, and will require less hardware.
However, without a current agreement by all of the RBOCs on a common
flavor of DSL, and given the recent consensus of the computer industry
on modem standards, DSL may even fall further behind cable at this point.
"
There is no widespread agreement among the telcos," says Mr. Nicholas,
"
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
Still, if the telco industry is able to reach consensus quickly, DSL
may make inroads as the cable operators spend time building out their own
networks.
"Cable has a head start, but is nowhere near ubiquitous," says Ken Hoexter,
a vice president at Goldman Sachs. "
There's room for multiple ways of reaching
the end user."
Microsoft is one heavyweight in particular which is characteristically
mindful of those opportunities. As the cable and telco players decamp to
their respective corners, Microsoft is hedging its bets as a DSL booster
-- who also happens to have a $1 billion investment in cable operator Comcast
(CMCSA).

Ever wondered how some gas stations can authenticate your credit
card so quickly? ( At the pump ) A satellite connection eliminates a traditional
dial-up modem connection. In this instance, ground stations at many hundreds
of gas stations can share the same slice of expensive satellite spectrum
using a TDMA (time-division multiple access) approach. Since the duty cycle
for any one station is very low, this approach is extremely efficient.
The net result is that rather than paying five cents to complete the transaction
with a long-distancecall, the company only pays a few pennies to do so
via satellite. And in a busy gas station, the resulting savings can pay
for the $3,000 satellite terminal in just 18 months
Well your local ISP which has a wireless link to your home or office
and the uplink can provide high bandwidth today - at a lower cost to the
ISPthan traditional T1 T3 lines
The question becomes the last mile / Km for consumers but not for
business - and there are thousands of chains - Did anyone say McDonnell's
-Grocery stores - drug stores - Dept. stores - Doctors and hospitals and
insurance -travel agents - banks - ATM's - brokers - all cut the wire and
clear transactions in real time from their terminals or cash registers
or cell phones anywhere and can do inventory and B2B in real time? once
it reaches critical mass the price goes down and the speed and bandwidth
goes up - maybe even faster then in computing - 1/2 the price and twice
the capacity every 18 months.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (Bentonville, Ark.) uses VSATs to link hundreds
oftheir facilities together. Paging networks use VSATs to send paging messages
to transmitters. Nationwide newspaper companies use satellites to send
contents to multiple printing locations. Why? Because the same message
is sent out to multiple transmitters for time-synchronized transmission.

Small and medium businesses and many households are clamoring for
more bandwidth. Demand for high-speed Internet and data networks is growing
exponentially, but only a few privileged large corporations have fiber
access. Around the world, telecom markets are liberalizing, with new competitors
and incumbents positioning themselves to meet the demands of the new millennium.
LMDS and other broadband fixed wireless technologies are proving
to be a viable solution. LMDS and related technologies offer broadband
speeds with a quick time to market, an attractive capital structure, and
no need to dig up streets. In addition, they support multiple applications,
delivering voice, video, and high-speed data - a major benefit given the
current trends toward convergence of data and voice networks and the growing
popularity of bundled services.
October 26, 1999 New Alliance Will Promote Wireless Access to Internet
By DAVID BARBOZA
group of leading technology companies said Monday that they would form
an alliance to create products that would allow consumers to get high-speed
Internet access through a wireless system within the next year.
The consortium -- which is led by Cisco Systems Inc., the giant Internet
networking company, and Motorola Inc., the maker of wireless telephone
products -- is essentially backing an alternative to delivering broadband
Internet access through underground cables and wires.
The race to bring broadband Internet access to consumers has led
to several alliances that promise to deliver that kind of service through
satellites, cellular telephone networks and standard cable and telephone
lines. Now, the group headed by Cisco and Motorola is trying to provide
a cheaper and more effective solution to digging up the ground and laying
cables:
They want to deliver data, voice and video services over the airwaves
and directly into buildings and homes that are affixed with antennas or
the equivalent of a satellite dish.
"This is the technology that is going to take the fixed broadband
wireless market into the next millennium," said Steve Smith, director of
marketing in the broadband wireless business unit at Cisco Systems, which
is based in San Jose, Calif. "This gets consumers Internet access without
tearing up the ground."
Officials at Cisco Systems said Monday that a group of 10 companies
-- Motorola, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Bechtel Telecommunications, Samsung,
Toshiba, LCC International, EDS, KPMG Consulting and Pace Microtechnology
-- had agreed to create and develop products that use a Cisco technology,
one that is equipped to deliver Internet service over a radio frequency
called MMDS.
Aware that the AT&T Corp. was moving into cable television and
developing a system capable of delivering high-speed Internet access through
its cable services, MCI Worldcom and Sprint have spent about $1 billion
in the last few years to buy many of the companies that owned the licenses
to the MMDS radio spectrum. Three weeks ago, MCI Worldcom agreed to acquire
Sprint in a $115 billion merger.
If the technology is successful, it appears that Internet service
providers will be able to choose among cable operators, wireless service
providers and perhaps even satellite operators like Teledesic LLC, which
is developing a kind of "Internet in the Sky" technology, a multibillion-dollar
plan backed by the cellular telephone pioneer Craig McCaw and William H.
Gates of Microsoft.
Cisco Systems and Motorola are also backing something called LMDS,
which is another radio frequency that offers broadband access, mostly to
businesses. According to Cisco officials, however, the MMDS system is more
effective in crowded urban areas and is more easily available to everyday
consumers and the mass market.
Robert Edwards, a spokesman at Motorola, which is based in Schaumburg,
Ill., said Monday that the company was backing both the LMDS and MMDS technologies
and working to develop a large portfolio of offerings so that big technology
companies and consumers could have a wide range of alternatives to getting
broadband access.
The companies involved in the agreement Monday said that the ability
to deliver high-speed broadband access through a wireless system would
also rapidly accelerate the introduction of broadband services to rural
areas and urban centers, and do so more easily and inexpensively.

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.
The idea of references is still useful but you can also do a up to the minute search by a hyper text link that includes the key words -

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.
Not news - cloudy vision part two :

Gates for the first time emphasized the Web browser as the central application of computing. Echoing remarks made by counterparts Marc Andreessen and Scott McNealy four years ago, Gates said the network is even more important than the computer.
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/topics/f2k/default.asp
Microsoft is creating an advanced new generation of software that will meld computing and communications in revolutionary new ways; offer every developer the tools to transform the Web and all other aspects of the computing experience; and enable businesses, knowledge workers and consumers to employ technology on their own terms.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
by Dee McVicker
February 11, 2000
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

There is optic to the door provided by the utility company. It is a common carrier
providing:
TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition system -
programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire on any of the
screens around the wired house you desire.
There is no need for program schedules
- movies and other video content are downloaded on demand from world wide
services. Some charge fees some are free with or without ads. You can watch the
BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.
There is no need for movie
or music channels since you can order anything you want anytime.
The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays, or purchased and
transferred to CD or DVD -
The same with interactive media - games and
educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you leave the security
system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any motion with recording of
motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you click from your cell phone that
you are returning home - the lights and heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and
the doors unsecured.
The cell phone - palm pilot - personal digital assistant works at 400 kbps to 4 Mbs
with GPS, e-mail and other web content, fold up or screen keyboards, long life

The master computer works
within a network "master server in the sky" to provide services you need or enjoy.
Shopping, banking, tele-communities, video conferences, design and research,
games and social activities, travel and adventure, and tuned to your interests and

The master server bills for usage in micro pennies for "extras" but charges a
flat fee for "basic services". Several master server companies compete for services
on the common carrier -
The services are not tied to the wire - optic cable - so there are two bills - one for
connection services - the wireless and wired ( optic ) and another from the service
company that passes along charges for rentals, fee for service charges, software
licenses, communications on and off net, as we do today with local and long distance
phone services and premium cable services.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?
ISky, an Englewood, Colo., company that will offer broadband
Internet access across North America via satellite,
http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20000118S0016
ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet
connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access
to anyone with its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability
to hook up, similar to the way some television programming is available
via satellite today.
Then are AOL and Time Warner crazy in putting their money on
cable. I clearly believe that wireless and optic fiber will by pass cable
with increased satellite capacity. For awhile - maybe 10 years there will
be DSL - copper wires, cable and some wireless - but the nano age and optic
capacities will jump to wireless - also as I keep saying it's CHINA, stupid
- What is going on between the European Union, Eastern Europe and the rest
of the world does matter.
They don't have wires in much of the world -
they do have power lines
Maybe MicroSoft - Gates will pull of a wireless revolution with levels
of service and prices to blow the others away.
The phone company could have gone DSL in the 1960's, the Cable
companies could have gone two way digital in the 70's or 80's or hybrid
in the 90's how long is too long before someone rushes past you ? Plus
I hate wired that belong to someone - it's anti- competitive.
Also some new technology may come along to change all the rules
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2270684.html
"Nortel has used its technology, called Digital PowerLine (DPL), successfully in European and Asian markets. Currently, the company has agreements with 10 non-U.S. utilities that serve 35 million homes, says Dan Middleton, director of carrier packet solutions at Nortel's power line networks division.
If physicist Luke Stewart can do what he says he can send voice, video,
and data thousands of miles over electric lines at the speed of light he
will produce perhaps the most significant development in communications
since Alexander Graham Bell.
That could take the company he cofounded in North Dallas, Media Fusion
L.L.C., to heights greater than Microsoft in both earnings and market value.
I do think that nano quantum computers - optic and laser [acronym for
light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation], device for the
creation and amplification of a narrow, intense beam of coherent LIGHT.
connected to wideband wireless will be the most important events of our
time - having more importance than the silly political debates, because
economics come from the structure of industry and enterprise - clearly
the railroads, automobiles, radio, TV, computers and the internet are the
drivers of our history - culture - social being - and therefore our economy
and political system.
The new world order is not an idea or ideology but
of commerce based on transportation and communications. Bill Gates, Edison,
Ford, are the great forgers of our times -

The reference to the Battle of the Airwaves

http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
comments on
http://www.wiredbrain.net/webmaster.htm
The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??
The keys are both the hand held portable GMS and the home appliance - the
universal communications device that runs as a terminal - software ( by
MS ) and OS by MS - to provide operations on a rental or fixed fee for
service system - It owns the pipe - it owns the birds - it owns the OS
- but provides content and services for all ( Bill's idea of open systems
) This is where AOL should have been going rather than content which is
begging for distribution. Content must have eyeballs - but the owner of
the pipe and OS is KING !
In 1997 LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Service -- has become
the Manhattan Project of the telecommunications industry.
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/print/970908/inwk0002.html
But then what happened - several companies pay top dollar fourthe
new 28-gigahertz broadband connection - several went bankrupt NOW http://www4.zdnet.com:80/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2419875,00.html
McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel
Nextlink etc. and create a last mile system build on optic fiber with a
wireless last mile - Time division hardware is out there -
I should mention the NEXUM ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
)
The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions
in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless
for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone
i.e. voice
Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable ?
McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major
Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band offrequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘householdutility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).
In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. Ibelieve in wireless - optic
broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar -
The issue
is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions of new users
and can't string wires -but can run a optic fiber backbone with radio towersCDM
code or time division multiplex - either only needs a little push to get
there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up - these are the BIG issues.
Who controls the rules and protocols controls a lot.
IN BROADBAND WARS, WILL DSL SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE CABLE?
Wireless - see below -
By Peter Jerram Red Herring Online September 23, 1998 http://www.redherring.com/insider/1998/0923/coppercable.html
The rise of the Internet has fueled a tremendous demand for faster access
by both business users and consumers.
On the home front, Internet users are maxing out on 56K modems, with
many poking along at half that speed, or less. Businesses have access to
higher speed leased lines, but pay steep tariffs to telcos for the privilege.
Many feel the constrained bandwidth is stunting the development of Internet
content and applications.
"Once we enable high speed, we'll enable all kinds of new applications,
and no one really knows where that's going to take us," says Lisa Pelgrim,
senior analyst with Dataquest in San Jose.
But where it's taking us is a question that's ahead of itself; where
we are right now in terms of competing broadband opportunities is still
at issue.
Worth the wait?
Several companies, led by @Home (ATHM) and Time Warner's (TWX) Road
Runner, are touting Internet access services using the television cables
already installed in a majority of American homes. By using this existing
infrastructure, fast, cheap Internet access could be available to millions
of homes.
After two years of trials, however, cable deployment is spotty, with
fewer than 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. In the headlong
rush of the computer industry, progress has seemed glacial at best.
"People I talk to in Silicon Valley don't believe [cable] exists because
if it did it would be there first," says Michael Harris, an analyst with
TeleChoice in Phoenix.
Deployment was delayed in part as cable operators waited for modem standards,
and for the price of modems, to fall to a retail price of under $300. Operators
also underestimated the infrastructure challenges in rolling out Internet
access.
"
They got into the field and realized it was going to be a little harder
than they thought," says Harris.
Going two-way
Industry leader TCI (TCOMA) feeds about 20 million homes, but only about
1.2 million of those are now two-way capable, according to TeleChoice.
Despite the condition of TCI's network, AT&T (T) paid $28 billion for
TCI to get at it. "AT&T purchased infrastructure," says Ms. Pelgrim.
With interoperable modem standards finally in place and prices dropping
into the consumer comfort zone, TCI and other cable operators are now on
the cusp of large-scale deployment -- a central proviso of AT&T's acquisition.
"
The entire merger was predicated on pervasive deployment of cable-modem
technology," says Henry T. Nicholas, chairman and CEO of broadband chipmaker
Broadcom (BRCM). "AT&T paid a premium with the understanding that two
way upgrading was underway."
Mr. Nicholas says that TCI will have its network 50 percent two-way
enabled by next year, and he should know. In a recent announcement, Broadcom
revealed that it has integrated all of the cable-modem media access control
(MAC) and physical layer transmission functionality into a single chip
instead of three.
The company said this will mean that next-generation cable modems will
be smaller and cost less for consumers while being able to deliver data,
digital video, telephony, and Internet access at speeds up to 56 megabits
per second, or 1,000 times faster than standard 56k voice-band modems.
Moreover, Broadcom's new chip has the circuitry for phone connections
through TV cable, which would allow cable companies to offer Internet access
at rates more competitive with phone companies. According to
The Wall Street
Journal, the new chips are expected to cost around $50 each in small allotments
--- about the same as the current three-chip set -- but maybe half that
or less in large orders.
This announcement may just give cable the nudge, and even the market
validation, needed for cable to become the more adopted broadband standard.
Will the telcos ever get it?
Meanwhile, the telcos are pinning their hopes on digital subscriber
lines (DSL), a means of delivering high bandwidth digital signals over
ordinary copper phone lines.
In the past several months, most of the regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs) have announced DSL service. "
The pressure is on the phone companies
to keep up [with cable]," says Mr. Harris.
Telcos are focusing mainly on small and medium-sized businesses, although
most carriers also offer plans for residential customers. DSL speeds range
from 128K to 8 Mbps.
The high end of that range places DSL squarely in
the realm of traditional leased lines, which are far more costly.
The telcos
are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs
higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
Early indications are that the carriers will run into some of the same
infrastructure issues that have plagued cable operators. DSL service is
only available to customers within about three miles of a telco central
office, which eliminates more than half of otherwise eligible customers.
Telcos are also finding that the condition of local loop wiring limits
its ability to carry high speed data reliably. Ubiquitous DSL coverage
may require reworking the copper wire infrastructure, an undertaking that
was not in the plan.
"Telcos are in a catch-22 -- do they really want to reconfigure their
plant for DSL, or do they do something else like fiber to the curb?" say
Mr. Harris.
Many in the industry have found themselves up against the fabled telco
bureaucracy as well.
"
The RBOCs have moved slower than we would have liked, it's been refreshing
to work with the cable companies by comparison," says Heidi Clark, chairman
and CEO of broadband equipment supplier Cayman.
Several analysts also questioned whether the telcos would seriously
consider cannibalizing their profitable leased-line businesses. Competitive
local exchange carriers (CLECs), which lease lines from the RBOCs, do not
have such a conflict, and several, including Covad Communications, are
offering DSL service to Internet service providers. However, since the
CLECs depend on RBOCs for copper wire, their fortunes are tied to the telcos.
Disagreeing to agree
There is no reason for this to be vapor hardware -
There is a lot of smart money and IBM as a OEM -
The press seems
to have rushed to print before they think -
The long road to the post MS
- Intel cartel has another crack - Remember the NOISE group - Netscape
- Oracle - IBM - Sun - and everyone else -who have been after the crown
jewels for years - software that will run without a propertatary OS - called
Java, RISC and now called
LinusTorvalds.
Transmeta showed two chips, both of which the company claims
consume just a single watt of power.
The TM3120, available now, is designed
for $500 to $999 Linux-based "Web pads" and is fully x86 compatible. Its
price ranges from $65 for a 333 MHz version to $89 for a 400 MHz version.
The hero of Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe of 1719, a shipwrecked
English sailor who, by virtue of his own ingenuity, survives for years
on a small tropical island.

) time division codes - wireless broadband - how about military uses -
can't alway find a plug on the battle field - light enough to use solar
power ?
When he unveiled the TM3120, Mr. Ditzel said it will run a "new class
of computers," and he held up a mobile computing device that was nearly
as large as a notebook computer, but its entire face was a touch
screen. When he tapped the screen, a virtual keyboard appeared on it, and,
thanks to a built-in wireless connection, he was on the Internet.
http://www.redherring.com/insider/2000/0120/news-transmeta.html
http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_4372.html
How about a break up of the Intel MS cartel -
The TM5400 is aimed
at Windows-based notebooks selling for $1,200 to $2,500.
The chip is in
the sampling stage now and is expected to be available by
the middle of the year.
The x86-compatible microprocessor will be
priced at $119 for the 500 MHz version and $329 for the 700 MHz. Mr. Ditzel
said that the two new processors are the first microprocessors whose instruction
set is implemented entirely with software. Analysts said they were unaware
of any other chipmakers using a similar approach. It would take about two
years -- and some reverse engineering of Transmeta's chips -- for a major
chipmaker to get to market with a similar offering, Mr. Enderle says.
It is the software approach that makes Transmeta's chips easier to
design, Mr. Ditzel says. Because they're simpler, they generate less heat
than normal microprocessors, he adds.
As was first reported by Redherring.com, the Transmeta chip combines
"code morphing" software with a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor.
Mr. Ditzel said that three-quarters of the
chip's capabilities comes from the code-morphing software, including
its x86 compatibility and its PC-like performance. Another Transmeta official
said the software means a notebook computer can run for one full day on
a single battery.
The VLIW technology means the chip uses significantly
fewer transistors than chips with similar speeds, making them easier to
design and produce.
Transmeta is partnering with IBM for manufacturing. It has an entire
design team in IBM's Essex Junction, Vermont, facility.
Mr. Ditzel noted that Crusoe was a platform, and he said that means
that Transmeta has "all of the technology pieces to allow computer manufacturers
to bring complete products to market." To date, it has raised "in the hundreds
of millions of dollars," he says.
The first VC round was led by Institutional
Venture Partners and the Walden Group (where Mr. Tai was a partner back
in 1995); the second round was led by Integral Capital Partners, the third
by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, and the fourth by billionaire investor
George Soros's funds.
Despite the hurdles, DSL appears to have stirred up considerable interest
in the computer industry.
In June, networking-equipment vendors Cisco (CSCO), Ascend (ASND) and
Cabletron (CS) all acquired or invested in DSL technology suppliers. And
a consortium of companies called UAWG, which includes Microsoft (MSFT),
Compaq (CPQ), and Intel (INTC), is working on a set of DSL standards that
will make it easier to install DSL, and will require less hardware.
However, without a current agreement by all of the RBOCs on a common
flavor of DSL, and given the recent consensus of the computer industry
on modem standards, DSL may even fall further behind cable at this point.
"
There is no widespread agreement among the telcos," says Mr. Nicholas,
"
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
Still, if the telco industry is able to reach consensus quickly, DSL
may make inroads as the cable operators spend time building out their own
networks.
"Cable has a head start, but is nowhere near ubiquitous," says Ken Hoexter,
a vice president at Goldman Sachs. "
There's room for multiple ways of reaching
the end user."
Microsoft is one heavyweight in particular which is characteristically
mindful of those opportunities. As the cable and telco players decamp to
their respective corners, Microsoft is hedging its bets as a DSL booster
-- who also happens to have a $1 billion investment in cable operator Comcast
(CMCSA).

Ever wondered how some gas stations can authenticate your credit
card so quickly? ( At the pump ) A satellite connection eliminates a traditional
dial-up modem connection. In this instance, ground stations at many hundreds
of gas stations can share the same slice of expensive satellite spectrum
using a TDMA (time-division multiple access) approach. Since the duty cycle
for any one station is very low, this approach is extremely efficient.
The net result is that rather than paying five cents to complete the transaction
with a long-distancecall, the company only pays a few pennies to do so
via satellite. And in a busy gas station, the resulting savings can pay
for the $3,000 satellite terminal in just 18 months
Well your local ISP which has a wireless link to your home or office
and the uplink can provide high bandwidth today - at a lower cost to the
ISPthan traditional T1 T3 lines
The question becomes the last mile / Km for consumers but not for
business - and there are thousands of chains - Did anyone say McDonnell's
-Grocery stores - drug stores - Dept. stores - Doctors and hospitals and
insurance -travel agents - banks - ATM's - brokers - all cut the wire and
clear transactions in real time from their terminals or cash registers
or cell phones anywhere and can do inventory and B2B in real time? once
it reaches critical mass the price goes down and the speed and bandwidth
goes up - maybe even faster then in computing - 1/2 the price and twice
the capacity every 18 months.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (Bentonville, Ark.) uses VSATs to link hundreds
oftheir facilities together. Paging networks use VSATs to send paging messages
to transmitters. Nationwide newspaper companies use satellites to send
contents to multiple printing locations. Why? Because the same message
is sent out to multiple transmitters for time-synchronized transmission.

I should mention the NEXUM ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
)
The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions
in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless
for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone
i.e. voice Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable
? McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. I believe in wireless -
optic broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar
-
The issue is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions
of new users and can't string wires - but can run a optic fiber backbone
with radio towers CDM code or time division multiplex - either only needs
a little push to get there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up -
these are the BIG issues. Who controls the rules and protocols controls
a lot.

October 26, 1999 New Alliance Will Promote Wireless Access to Internet
By DAVID BARBOZA
group of leading technology companies said Monday that they would form
an alliance to create products that would allow consumers to get high-speed
Internet access through a wireless system within the next year.
The consortium -- which is led by Cisco Systems Inc., the giant Internet
networking company, and Motorola Inc., the maker of wireless telephone
products -- is essentially backing an alternative to delivering broadband
Internet access through underground cables and wires.
The race to bring broadband Internet access to consumers has led
to several alliances that promise to deliver that kind of service through
satellites, cellular telephone networks and standard cable and telephone
lines. Now, the group headed by Cisco and Motorola is trying to provide
a cheaper and more effective solution to digging up the ground and laying
cables:
They want to deliver data, voice and video services over the airwaves
and directly into buildings and homes that are affixed with antennas or
the equivalent of a satellite dish.
"This is the technology that is going to take the fixed broadband
wireless market into the next millennium," said Steve Smith, director of
marketing in the broadband wireless business unit at Cisco Systems, which
is based in San Jose, Calif. "This gets consumers Internet access without
tearing up the ground."
Officials at Cisco Systems said Monday that a group of 10 companies
-- Motorola, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Bechtel Telecommunications, Samsung,
Toshiba, LCC International, EDS, KPMG Consulting and Pace Microtechnology
-- had agreed to create and develop products that use a Cisco technology,
one that is equipped to deliver Internet service over a radio frequency
called MMDS.
Aware that the AT&T Corp. was moving into cable television and
developing a system capable of delivering high-speed Internet access through
its cable services, MCI Worldcom and Sprint have spent about $1 billion
in the last few years to buy many of the companies that owned the licenses
to the MMDS radio spectrum. Three weeks ago, MCI Worldcom agreed to acquire
Sprint in a $115 billion merger.
If the technology is successful, it appears that Internet service
providers will be able to choose among cable operators, wireless service
providers and perhaps even satellite operators like Teledesic LLC, which
is developing a kind of "Internet in the Sky" technology, a multibillion-dollar
plan backed by the cellular telephone pioneer Craig McCaw and William H.
Gates of Microsoft.
Cisco Systems and Motorola are also backing something called LMDS,
which is another radio frequency that offers broadband access, mostly to
businesses. According to Cisco officials, however, the MMDS system is more
effective in crowded urban areas and is more easily available to everyday
consumers and the mass market.
Robert Edwards, a spokesman at Motorola, which is based in Schaumburg,
Ill., said Monday that the company was backing both the LMDS and MMDS technologies
and working to develop a large portfolio of offerings so that big technology
companies and consumers could have a wide range of alternatives to getting
broadband access.
The companies involved in the agreement Monday said that the ability
to deliver high-speed broadband access through a wireless system would
also rapidly accelerate the introduction of broadband services to rural
areas and urban centers, and do so more easily and inexpensively.

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.
The idea of references is still useful but you can also do a up to the minute search by a hyper text link that includes the key words -

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
by Dee McVicker
February 11, 2000
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.
The idea of references is still useful but you can also do a up to the minute search by a hyper text link that includes the key words -

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
by Dee McVicker
February 11, 2000
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.
The idea of references is still useful but you can also do a up to the minute search by a hyper text link that includes the key words -

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
by Dee McVicker
February 11, 2000
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

There is no need for program schedules
- movies and other video content are downloaded on demand from world wide
services. Some charge fees some are free with or without ads. You can watch the
BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.
There is no need for movie
or music channels since you can order anything you want anytime.
The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays, or purchased and
transferred to CD or DVD -
The same with interactive media - games and
educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you leave the security
system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any motion with recording of
motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you click from your cell phone that
you are returning home - the lights and heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and

Broadband frequencies allow high-capacity data transmission.
Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and

the curve in both the learning and technology game.
I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and
record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.
What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.
The idea of references is still useful but you can also do a up to the minute search by a hyper text link that includes the key words -

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
by Dee McVicker
February 11, 2000
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

There is optic to the door provided by the utility company. It is a common carrier
providing:
TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition system -
programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire on any of the
screens around the wired house you desire.
There is no need for program schedules
- movies and other video content are downloaded on demand from world wide
services. Some charge fees some are free with or without ads. You can watch the
BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.
There is no need for movie
or music channels since you can order anything you want anytime.
The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays, or purchased and
transferred to CD or DVD -
The same with interactive media - games and
educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you leave the security
system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any motion with recording of
motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you click from your cell phone that
you are returning home - the lights and heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and
the doors unsecured.
The cell phone - palm pilot - personal digital assistant works at 400 kbps to 4 Mbs
with GPS, e-mail and other web content, fold up or screen keyboards, long life
batteries, high gain reception of dense multiplex time division wideband GS3 codes.
Europe, with its common GSM standard, will likely usher in "3G" technologies (with their 2 megabit/second

The master computer works
within a network "master server in the sky" to provide services you need or enjoy.
Shopping, banking, tele-communities, video conferences, design and research,
games and social activities, travel and adventure, and tuned to your interests and

The master server bills for usage in micro pennies for "extras" but charges a
flat fee for "basic services". Several master server companies compete for services
on the common carrier -
The services are not tied to the wire - optic cable - so there are two bills - one for
connection services - the wireless and wired ( optic ) and another from the service
company that passes along charges for rentals, fee for service charges, software
licenses, communications on and off net, as we do today with local and long distance
phone services and premium cable services.
Where is the money made ? Optic fiber hardware - mobile hardware, utility
company right-of-way and network services, the "general utility service company"
maybe AOL, Microsoft, NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun
Microsystems and everyone else ) Amazon, or others which provides the interface

``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and
form communities. I would like to work with organizations that want to get ahead of
the curve in both the learning and technology game.
I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and
record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.
What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

Gates for the first time emphasized the Web browser as the central application of computing. Echoing remarks made by counterparts Marc Andreessen and Scott McNealy four years ago, Gates said the network is even more important than the computer.
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/topics/f2k/default.asp
Microsoft is creating an advanced new generation of software that will meld computing and communications in revolutionary new ways; offer every developer the tools to transform the Web and all other aspects of the computing experience; and enable businesses, knowledge workers and consumers to employ technology on their own terms.

content, future "agent" technology, and more) http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/stories/reviews/0,6755,2608416,00.html

;
- Computing technologies (.18 to .13 micron chips, silicon-on-insulator, and
copper interconnects yielding 12 GHz chips by 2005! Commodity systems in 2003
that have 5 GHz processors, 10 gigabytes of memory, 300 gigabyte hard drives,

XML: the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged:
I can write this text, I could insert picture or sound. I can create links ( hyper- links ) or imbedded functions ( scripts in several languages ) - e-mail it or post it to a web site that has scripts to run different functions. It is getting easier but still has lots of bugs.
Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.

The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser.

The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.

Microsoft is again in a catch up position. Power corrupts and the lack of real time painful competition is what corrupted power means.
The NOISE group of Netscape, Oracle, IBM,Sun Microsystems, Corel and Everyone else had the model right years ago. With bandwidth ( such as private networks - intranets, extra-nets, and other high speed networks ) the network becomes the system. Each member of the system - clients and servers are integrated through common languages or objects.
When you open a web page, hypertext and imbedded objects can connect functions - edit, ( word processing ) analyze ( search, data bases ) and interoperate with each other using voice, images, data and text.
The idea is that a person interested in the service manual for a piece of equipment or operational system - a service engineer or client at a PC, or in the field using a lap top, wireless phone or other device not only could look up information but order parts, update systems, see graphic display, talk to experts, hold a meeting between the consultant and the providers and the home system would gather information about what is going on and what works and what doesn’t.
Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.
The contractor enters his phone book, calendar, and buys services from engineers, accountants, and get free services from suppliers, banks, sub contractors, etc. Those connected have a great advantage over those out of the loop.
How about a search attached to stories.

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

Providers of services - software, engineering, analysis, B2B, OEM, etc.. could all deal with each other using different languages, platforms and systems. This is the most powerful productivity tool ever imaged. System can adjust and improve in real time. A contractor in the field can order supplies from the best low cost provider, check delivery, pay accounts, check balances, talk to sub-contractors, revise plans and schedules, have the design changed and fixed, and 1000 and more details. No one can build a house without a cell phone - can any service be provided without real time communications ?
Who can do this unless they spend lots of money for services and software ?
The service providers can MS.net, oracle.net, IBM.net Sun.net, AOL.net, apple.net, excite.net, go.net, yahoo.net, - plug and play just like the cell phone. For $ 50 a month your ISP becomes an interactive system to other services.

Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.

So Where is the Wireless Web?
So Where is the Wireless Web?
Network operations are currently divided into three technology families, code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and global system for mobile communication (GSM).
http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm
If we gave you 800-kilobit packet-data service as a user, we could fit 100 voice calls into that same bandwidth,"
Japan's NTT DoCoMo doesn't have the same concern, one reason why it's not hesitating to jump into 3G. Japanese and European operators running out of bandwidth can license new spectrum for 3G; U.S. operators cannot.
Eventually, the goal is "third generation," or 3G, devices (digital cell phones were the second generation) that will deliver data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Just for comparison, current cellular-network transfer rates plod along at 9.6 Kbps or 14.4 Kbps, at best, which is OK for e-mail and some of the new Internet services being lauded by cell-phone carriers. Phone.com's (PHCM) Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) microbrowser is helping squeeze the Web into these pipes, but that's a stopgap measure.
Wireless data is hot. You can't open a magazine without reading about microbrowsers on cell phones or turn on a television without seeing an advertisement for the Internet-in-your-pocket.
Japan is blasting away, with all jets driving, toward the new wireless Internet. As far back as October 19, 1998, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo, Tokyo), Japan's leading mobile operator, piloted a cellular network that joined together the cell phone and motion video.
Expected to launch commercially in March 2001, the network and others like it will give birth to a new wireless-communications era. For NTT DoCoMo's 3 million "i-mode" cell-phone subscribers (roughly 10 percent of the company's total customer base), for example, it will mean wireless high-speed Internet news, banking, video streaming, travel reservations, Web radio, and a slew of other services.

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP
products and services.
If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

"Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will
provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and
incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP

If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster.

If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

providing:
TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition system -
programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire on any of the
screens around the wired house you desire.
There is no need for program schedules
- movies and other video content are downloaded on demand from world wide
services. Some charge fees some are free with or without ads. You can watch the
BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.
There is no need for movie
or music channels since you can order anything you want anytime.
The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays, or purchased and
transferred to CD or DVD -
The same with interactive media - games and
educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you leave the security
system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any motion with recording of
motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you click from your cell phone that
you are returning home - the lights and heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and
the doors unsecured.

Broadband frequencies allow high-capacity data transmission.
Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and

I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and
record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.
What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet

"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.

Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.

DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -

There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.

Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.

Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out.

The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -
Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -
code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.

If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and
form communities. I would like to work with organizations that want to get ahead of

record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and
form communities. I would like to work with organizations that want to get ahead of
the curve in both the learning and technology game.
I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and
record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.
What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?
http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm
The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year,
compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,

Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more
efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.
http://www.yankeegroup.com/webfolder/yg21a.nsf/latestnews/Broadband+Race+Is+on+the+Rise+in+Hong+Kong
The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.

Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition system -
programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire on any of the

There is no need for program schedules

BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.
There is no need for movie

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

connection services - the wireless and wired ( optic ) and another from the service
company that passes along charges for rentals, fee for service charges, software
licenses, communications on and off net, as we do today with local and long distance
phone services and premium cable services.
Where is the money made ? Optic fiber hardware - mobile hardware, utility
company right-of-way and network services, the "general utility service company"
maybe AOL, Microsoft, NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun
Microsystems and everyone else ) Amazon, or others which provides the interface
between the user and service providers - banks, insurance, finance and markets,
shopping, software and music and games and movies and communications, and
entertainment, security, smart home management, and on and on...
The super on-line
service using optic fiber to the door.

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work
very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to
the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may
jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but
introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,''
Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web,
check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile
services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the
spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.
Part-time remote consulting:
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and
form communities. I would like to work with organizations that want to get ahead of
the curve in both the learning and technology game.
I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and
record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM
project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few
other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or
just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box,
win-win, future, and other ideas.
What medium will win the lucrative race to provide broadband Internet
access ?

Broadband in the Local Loop 98:
Cable Modem Madness vs. xDSL Dementia
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/brdbnd98.htm
New Study Concludes G.lite not enough to overcome advantages
and head start of cable modems
http://www.fwdconcepts.com/press13.htm
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential
broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1
worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable modems is
forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential
market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the
excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications.
Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical
unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable companies,
in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as
pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the
same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.

ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access to anyone with its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability to hook up, similar to the way some television programming is available via satellite today.
Then are AOL and Time Warner crazy in putting their money on
cable. I clearly believe that wireless and optic fiber will by pass cable
with increased satellite capacity. For awhile - maybe 10 years there will
be DSL - copper wires, cable and some wireless - but the nano age and optic
capacities will jump to wireless - also as I keep saying it's CHINA, stupid
- What is going on between the European Union, Eastern Europe and the rest
of the world does matter.
They don't have wires in much of the world -
they do have power lines
Maybe MicroSoft - Gates will pull of a wireless revolution with levels
of service and prices to blow the others away.
The phone company could have gone DSL in the 1960's, the Cable
companies could have gone two way digital in the 70's or 80's or hybrid
in the 90's how long is too long before someone rushes past you ? Plus
I hate wired that belong to someone - it's anti- competitive.
Also some new technology may come along to change all the rules
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2270684.html
"Nortel has used its technology, called Digital PowerLine (DPL), successfully in European and Asian markets. Currently, the company has agreements with 10 non-U.S. utilities that serve 35 million homes, says Dan Middleton, director of carrier packet solutions at Nortel's power line networks division.
If physicist Luke Stewart can do what he says he can send voice, video,
and data thousands of miles over electric lines at the speed of light he
will produce perhaps the most significant development in communications
since Alexander Graham Bell.
That could take the company he cofounded in North Dallas, Media Fusion
L.L.C., to heights greater than Microsoft in both earnings and market value.
I do think that nano quantum computers - optic and laser [acronym for
light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation], device for the
creation and amplification of a narrow, intense beam of coherent LIGHT.
connected to wideband wireless will be the most important events of our
time - having more importance than the silly political debates, because
economics come from the structure of industry and enterprise - clearly
the railroads, automobiles, radio, TV, computers and the internet are the
drivers of our history - culture - social being - and therefore our economy
and political system.
The new world order is not an idea or ideology but
of commerce based on transportation and communications. Bill Gates, Edison,
Ford, are the great forgers of our times -

building and upgrading the infrastructure -- not only in the
U.S., but around the world -- to support higher speed applications for
Internet access, video and voice services in the ''last mile/kilometer``
of communications networks.
The reference to the Battle of the Airwaves
was to a Burns PBS show and http://www.wiredbrain.net/Disintermediation.htm
The analogy to the non-pc NEXUM and the broadband that makes it possible
via cable - wireless - optic fiber systems is quite close.
http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
comments on
http://www.wiredbrain.net/webmaster.htm
The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??
The keys are both the hand held portable GMS and the home appliance - the
universal communications device that runs as a terminal - software ( by
MS ) and OS by MS - to provide operations on a rental or fixed fee for
service system - It owns the pipe - it owns the birds - it owns the OS
- but provides content and services for all ( Bill's idea of open systems
) This is where AOL should have been going rather than content which is
begging for distribution. Content must have eyeballs - but the owner of
the pipe and OS is KING !
In 1997 LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Service -- has become
the Manhattan Project of the telecommunications industry.
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/print/970908/inwk0002.html
But then what happened - several companies pay top dollar fourthe
new 28-gigahertz broadband connection - several went bankrupt NOW http://www4.zdnet.com:80/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2419875,00.html
McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel
Nextlink etc. and create a last mile system build on optic fiber with a
wireless last mile - Time division hardware is out there -
I should mention the NEXUM ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
)
The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions
in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless
for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone
i.e. voice
Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable ?
McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major
Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band offrequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘householdutility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).
In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. Ibelieve in wireless - optic
broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar -
The issue
is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions of new users
and can't string wires -but can run a optic fiber backbone with radio towersCDM
code or time division multiplex - either only needs a little push to get
there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up - these are the BIG issues.
Who controls the rules and protocols controls a lot.
IN BROADBAND WARS, WILL DSL SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE CABLE?
Wireless - see below -
By Peter Jerram Red Herring Online September 23, 1998 http://www.redherring.com/insider/1998/0923/coppercable.html
The rise of the Internet has fueled a tremendous demand for faster access
by both business users and consumers.
On the home front, Internet users are maxing out on 56K modems, with
many poking along at half that speed, or less. Businesses have access to
higher speed leased lines, but pay steep tariffs to telcos for the privilege.
Many feel the constrained bandwidth is stunting the development of Internet
content and applications.
"Once we enable high speed, we'll enable all kinds of new applications,
and no one really knows where that's going to take us," says Lisa Pelgrim,
senior analyst with Dataquest in San Jose.
But where it's taking us is a question that's ahead of itself; where
we are right now in terms of competing broadband opportunities is still
at issue.
Worth the wait?
Several companies, led by @Home (ATHM) and Time Warner's (TWX) Road
Runner, are touting Internet access services using the television cables
already installed in a majority of American homes. By using this existing
infrastructure, fast, cheap Internet access could be available to millions
of homes.
After two years of trials, however, cable deployment is spotty, with
fewer than 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. In the headlong
rush of the computer industry, progress has seemed glacial at best.
"People I talk to in Silicon Valley don't believe [cable] exists because
if it did it would be there first," says Michael Harris, an analyst with
TeleChoice in Phoenix.
Deployment was delayed in part as cable operators waited for modem standards,
and for the price of modems, to fall to a retail price of under $300. Operators
also underestimated the infrastructure challenges in rolling out Internet
access.
"
They got into the field and realized it was going to be a little harder
than they thought," says Harris.
Going two-way
Industry leader TCI (TCOMA) feeds about 20 million homes, but only about
1.2 million of those are now two-way capable, according to TeleChoice.
Despite the condition of TCI's network, AT&T (T) paid $28 billion for
TCI to get at it. "AT&T purchased infrastructure," says Ms. Pelgrim.
With interoperable modem standards finally in place and prices dropping
into the consumer comfort zone, TCI and other cable operators are now on
the cusp of large-scale deployment -- a central proviso of AT&T's acquisition.
"
The entire merger was predicated on pervasive deployment of cable-modem
technology," says Henry T. Nicholas, chairman and CEO of broadband chipmaker
Broadcom (BRCM). "AT&T paid a premium with the understanding that two
way upgrading was underway."
Mr. Nicholas says that TCI will have its network 50 percent two-way
enabled by next year, and he should know. In a recent announcement, Broadcom
revealed that it has integrated all of the cable-modem media access control
(MAC) and physical layer transmission functionality into a single chip
instead of three.
The company said this will mean that next-generation cable modems will
be smaller and cost less for consumers while being able to deliver data,
digital video, telephony, and Internet access at speeds up to 56 megabits
per second, or 1,000 times faster than standard 56k voice-band modems.
Moreover, Broadcom's new chip has the circuitry for phone connections
through TV cable, which would allow cable companies to offer Internet access
at rates more competitive with phone companies. According to
The Wall Street
Journal, the new chips are expected to cost around $50 each in small allotments
--- about the same as the current three-chip set -- but maybe half that
or less in large orders.
This announcement may just give cable the nudge, and even the market
validation, needed for cable to become the more adopted broadband standard.
Will the telcos ever get it?
Meanwhile, the telcos are pinning their hopes on digital subscriber
lines (DSL), a means of delivering high bandwidth digital signals over
ordinary copper phone lines.
In the past several months, most of the regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs) have announced DSL service. "
The pressure is on the phone companies
to keep up [with cable]," says Mr. Harris.
Telcos are focusing mainly on small and medium-sized businesses, although
most carriers also offer plans for residential customers. DSL speeds range
from 128K to 8 Mbps.
The high end of that range places DSL squarely in
the realm of traditional leased lines, which are far more costly.
The telcos
are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs
higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
Early indications are that the carriers will run into some of the same
infrastructure issues that have plagued cable operators. DSL service is
only available to customers within about three miles of a telco central
office, which eliminates more than half of otherwise eligible customers.
Telcos are also finding that the condition of local loop wiring limits
its ability to carry high speed data reliably. Ubiquitous DSL coverage
may require reworking the copper wire infrastructure, an undertaking that
was not in the plan.
"Telcos are in a catch-22 -- do they really want to reconfigure their
plant for DSL, or do they do something else like fiber to the curb?" say
Mr. Harris.
Many in the industry have found themselves up against the fabled telco
bureaucracy as well.
"
The RBOCs have moved slower than we would have liked, it's been refreshing
to work with the cable companies by comparison," says Heidi Clark, chairman
and CEO of broadband equipment supplier Cayman.
Several analysts also questioned whether the telcos would seriously
consider cannibalizing their profitable leased-line businesses. Competitive
local exchange carriers (CLECs), which lease lines from the RBOCs, do not
have such a conflict, and several, including Covad Communications, are
offering DSL service to Internet service providers. However, since the
CLECs depend on RBOCs for copper wire, their fortunes are tied to the telcos.
Disagreeing to agree
There is no reason for this to be vapor hardware -
There is a lot of smart money and IBM as a OEM -

Transmeta showed two chips, both of which the company claims
consume just a single watt of power.
The TM3120, available now, is designed
for $500 to $999 Linux-based "Web pads" and is fully x86 compatible. Its
price ranges from $65 for a 333 MHz version to $89 for a 400 MHz version.

When he unveiled the TM3120, Mr. Ditzel said it will run a "new class
of computers," and he held up a mobile computing device that was nearly
as large as a notebook computer, but its entire face was a touch
screen. When he tapped the screen, a virtual keyboard appeared on it, and,
thanks to a built-in wireless connection, he was on the Internet.

How about a break up of the Intel MS cartel -
The TM5400 is aimed
at Windows-based notebooks selling for $1,200 to $2,500.
The chip is in
the sampling stage now and is expected to be available by
the middle of the year.
The x86-compatible microprocessor will be
priced at $119 for the 500 MHz version and $329 for the 700 MHz. Mr. Ditzel
said that the two new processors are the first microprocessors whose instruction
set is implemented entirely with software. Analysts said they were unaware
of any other chipmakers using a similar approach. It would take about two
years -- and some reverse engineering of Transmeta's chips -- for a major
chipmaker to get to market with a similar offering, Mr. Enderle says.
It is the software approach that makes Transmeta's chips easier to
design, Mr. Ditzel says. Because they're simpler, they generate less heat
than normal microprocessors, he adds.
As was first reported by Redherring.com, the Transmeta chip combines
"code morphing" software with a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor.
Mr. Ditzel said that three-quarters of the
chip's capabilities comes from the code-morphing software, including
its x86 compatibility and its PC-like performance. Another Transmeta official
said the software means a notebook computer can run for one full day on
a single battery.
The VLIW technology means the chip uses significantly
fewer transistors than chips with similar speeds, making them easier to
design and produce.
Transmeta is partnering with IBM for manufacturing. It has an entire
design team in IBM's Essex Junction, Vermont, facility.
Mr. Ditzel noted that Crusoe was a platform, and he said that means
that Transmeta has "all of the technology pieces to allow computer manufacturers
to bring complete products to market." To date, it has raised "in the hundreds
of millions of dollars," he says.
The first VC round was led by Institutional
Venture Partners and the Walden Group (where Mr. Tai was a partner back
in 1995); the second round was led by Integral Capital Partners, the third
by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, and the fourth by billionaire investor
George Soros's funds.
Despite the hurdles, DSL appears to have stirred up considerable interest
in the computer industry.
In June, networking-equipment vendors Cisco (CSCO), Ascend (ASND) and
Cabletron (CS) all acquired or invested in DSL technology suppliers. And
a consortium of companies called UAWG, which includes Microsoft (MSFT),
Compaq (CPQ), and Intel (INTC), is working on a set of DSL standards that
will make it easier to install DSL, and will require less hardware.
However, without a current agreement by all of the RBOCs on a common
flavor of DSL, and given the recent consensus of the computer industry
on modem standards, DSL may even fall further behind cable at this point.
"
There is no widespread agreement among the telcos," says Mr. Nicholas,
"
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
Still, if the telco industry is able to reach consensus quickly, DSL
may make inroads as the cable operators spend time building out their own
networks.
"Cable has a head start, but is nowhere near ubiquitous," says Ken Hoexter,
a vice president at Goldman Sachs. "
There's room for multiple ways of reaching
the end user."
Microsoft is one heavyweight in particular which is characteristically
mindful of those opportunities. As the cable and telco players decamp to
their respective corners, Microsoft is hedging its bets as a DSL booster
-- who also happens to have a $1 billion investment in cable operator Comcast
(CMCSA).

Ever wondered how some gas stations can authenticate your credit
card so quickly? ( At the pump ) A satellite connection eliminates a traditional
dial-up modem connection. In this instance, ground stations at many hundreds
of gas stations can share the same slice of expensive satellite spectrum
using a TDMA (time-division multiple access) approach. Since the duty cycle
for any one station is very low, this approach is extremely efficient.
The net result is that rather than paying five cents to complete the transaction
with a long-distancecall, the company only pays a few pennies to do so
via satellite. And in a busy gas station, the resulting savings can pay
for the $3,000 satellite terminal in just 18 months
Well your local ISP which has a wireless link to your home or office
and the uplink can provide high bandwidth today - at a lower cost to the
ISPthan traditional T1 T3 lines
The question becomes the last mile / Km for consumers but not for
business - and there are thousands of chains - Did anyone say McDonnell's
-Grocery stores - drug stores - Dept. stores - Doctors and hospitals and
insurance -travel agents - banks - ATM's - brokers - all cut the wire and
clear transactions in real time from their terminals or cash registers
or cell phones anywhere and can do inventory and B2B in real time? once
it reaches critical mass the price goes down and the speed and bandwidth
goes up - maybe even faster then in computing - 1/2 the price and twice
the capacity every 18 months.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (Bentonville, Ark.) uses VSATs to link hundreds
oftheir facilities together. Paging networks use VSATs to send paging messages
to transmitters. Nationwide newspaper companies use satellites to send
contents to multiple printing locations. Why? Because the same message
is sent out to multiple transmitters for time-synchronized transmission.
ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet
connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access
to anyonewith its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability
to hook (look) up, similar to the way some television programming is available
via satellite today. It does matter http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm

The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions

for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone

? McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong

In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. I believe in wireless -
optic broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar
-
The issue is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions
of new users and can't string wires - but can run a optic fiber backbone
with radio towers CDM code or time division multiplex - either only needs
a little push to get there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up -
these are the BIG issues. Who controls the rules and protocols controls
a lot.

October 26, 1999 New Alliance Will Promote Wireless Access to Internet
By DAVID BARBOZA
group of leading technology companies said Monday that they would form
an alliance to create products that would allow consumers to get high-speed
Internet access through a wireless system within the next year.
The consortium -- which is led by Cisco Systems Inc., the giant Internet
networking company, and Motorola Inc., the maker of wireless telephone
products -- is essentially backing an alternative to delivering broadband
Internet access through underground cables and wires.
The race to bring broadband Internet access to consumers has led
to several alliances that promise to deliver that kind of service through
satellites, cellular telephone networks and standard cable and telephone
lines. Now, the group headed by Cisco and Motorola is trying to provide
a cheaper and more effective solution to digging up the ground and laying
cables:
They want to deliver data, voice and video services over the airwaves
and directly into buildings and homes that are affixed with antennas or
the equivalent of a satellite dish.
"This is the technology that is going to take the fixed broadband
wireless market into the next millennium," said Steve Smith, director of
marketing in the broadband wireless business unit at Cisco Systems, which
is based in San Jose, Calif. "This gets consumers Internet access without
tearing up the ground."
Officials at Cisco Systems said Monday that a group of 10 companies
-- Motorola, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Bechtel Telecommunications, Samsung,
Toshiba, LCC International, EDS, KPMG Consulting and Pace Microtechnology
-- had agreed to create and develop products that use a Cisco technology,
one that is equipped to deliver Internet service over a radio frequency
called MMDS.
Aware that the AT&T Corp. was moving into cable television and
developing a system capable of delivering high-speed Internet access through
its cable services, MCI Worldcom and Sprint have spent about $1 billion
in the last few years to buy many of the companies that owned the licenses
to the MMDS radio spectrum. Three weeks ago, MCI Worldcom agreed to acquire
Sprint in a $115 billion merger.
If the technology is successful, it appears that Internet service
providers will be able to choose among cable operators, wireless service
providers and perhaps even satellite operators like Teledesic LLC, which
is developing a kind of "Internet in the Sky" technology, a multibillion-dollar
plan backed by the cellular telephone pioneer Craig McCaw and William H.
Gates of Microsoft.
Cisco Systems and Motorola are also backing something called LMDS,
which is another radio frequency that offers broadband access, mostly to
businesses. According to Cisco officials, however, the MMDS system is more
effective in crowded urban areas and is more easily available to everyday
consumers and the mass market.
Robert Edwards, a spokesman at Motorola, which is based in Schaumburg,
Ill., said Monday that the company was backing both the LMDS and MMDS technologies
and working to develop a large portfolio of offerings so that big technology
companies and consumers could have a wide range of alternatives to getting
broadband access.
The companies involved in the agreement Monday said that the ability
to deliver high-speed broadband access through a wireless system would
also rapidly accelerate the introduction of broadband services to rural
areas and urban centers, and do so more easily and inexpensively.

comments on
http://www.wiredbrain.net/webmaster.htm
The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??

of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."

IN BROADBAND WARS, WILL DSL SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE CABLE?
Wireless - see below -
By Peter Jerram Red Herring Online September 23, 1998 http://www.redherring.com/insider/1998/0923/coppercable.html
The rise of the Internet has fueled a tremendous demand for faster access
by both business users and consumers.
On the home front, Internet users are maxing out on 56K modems, with
many poking along at half that speed, or less. Businesses have access to
higher speed leased lines, but pay steep tariffs to telcos for the privilege.
Many feel the constrained bandwidth is stunting the development of Internet
content and applications.
"Once we enable high speed, we'll enable all kinds of new applications,
and no one really knows where that's going to take us," says Lisa Pelgrim,
senior analyst with Dataquest in San Jose.
But where it's taking us is a question that's ahead of itself; where
we are right now in terms of competing broadband opportunities is still
at issue.
Worth the wait?
Several companies, led by @Home (ATHM) and Time Warner's (TWX) Road
Runner, are touting Internet access services using the television cables
already installed in a majority of American homes. By using this existing
infrastructure, fast, cheap Internet access could be available to millions
of homes.
After two years of trials, however, cable deployment is spotty, with
fewer than 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. In the headlong
rush of the computer industry, progress has seemed glacial at best.
"People I talk to in Silicon Valley don't believe [cable] exists because
if it did it would be there first," says Michael Harris, an analyst with
TeleChoice in Phoenix.
Deployment was delayed in part as cable operators waited for modem standards,
and for the price of modems, to fall to a retail price of under $300. Operators
also underestimated the infrastructure challenges in rolling out Internet
access.
"
They got into the field and realized it was going to be a little harder
than they thought," says Harris.
Going two-way
Industry leader TCI (TCOMA) feeds about 20 million homes, but only about
1.2 million of those are now two-way capable, according to TeleChoice.
Despite the condition of TCI's network, AT&T (T) paid $28 billion for
TCI to get at it. "AT&T purchased infrastructure," says Ms. Pelgrim.
With interoperable modem standards finally in place and prices dropping
into the consumer comfort zone, TCI and other cable operators are now on
the cusp of large-scale deployment -- a central proviso of AT&T's acquisition.
"
The entire merger was predicated on pervasive deployment of cable-modem
technology," says Henry T. Nicholas, chairman and CEO of broadband chipmaker
Broadcom (BRCM). "AT&T paid a premium with the understanding that two
way upgrading was underway."
Mr. Nicholas says that TCI will have its network 50 percent two-way
enabled by next year, and he should know. In a recent announcement, Broadcom
revealed that it has integrated all of the cable-modem media access control
(MAC) and physical layer transmission functionality into a single chip
instead of three.
The company said this will mean that next-generation cable modems will
be smaller and cost less for consumers while being able to deliver data,
digital video, telephony, and Internet access at speeds up to 56 megabits
per second, or 1,000 times faster than standard 56k voice-band modems.
Moreover, Broadcom's new chip has the circuitry for phone connections
through TV cable, which would allow cable companies to offer Internet access
at rates more competitive with phone companies. According to
The Wall Street
Journal, the new chips are expected to cost around $50 each in small allotments
--- about the same as the current three-chip set -- but maybe half that
or less in large orders.
This announcement may just give cable the nudge, and even the market
validation, needed for cable to become the more adopted broadband standard.
Will the telcos ever get it?
Meanwhile, the telcos are pinning their hopes on digital subscriber
lines (DSL), a means of delivering high bandwidth digital signals over
ordinary copper phone lines.
In the past several months, most of the regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs) have announced DSL service. "
The pressure is on the phone companies
to keep up [with cable]," says Mr. Harris.
Telcos are focusing mainly on small and medium-sized businesses, although
most carriers also offer plans for residential customers. DSL speeds range
from 128K to 8 Mbps.
The high end of that range places DSL squarely in
the realm of traditional leased lines, which are far more costly.
The telcos
are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs
higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
Early indications are that the carriers will run into some of the same
infrastructure issues that have plagued cable operators. DSL service is
only available to customers within about three miles of a telco central
office, which eliminates more than half of otherwise eligible customers.
Telcos are also finding that the condition of local loop wiring limits
its ability to carry high speed data reliably. Ubiquitous DSL coverage
may require reworking the copper wire infrastructure, an undertaking that
was not in the plan.
"Telcos are in a catch-22 -- do they really want to reconfigure their
plant for DSL, or do they do something else like fiber to the curb?" say
Mr. Harris.
Many in the industry have found themselves up against the fabled telco
bureaucracy as well.
"
The RBOCs have moved slower than we would have liked, it's been refreshing
to work with the cable companies by comparison," says Heidi Clark, chairman
and CEO of broadband equipment supplier Cayman.
Several analysts also questioned whether the telcos would seriously
consider cannibalizing their profitable leased-line businesses. Competitive
local exchange carriers (CLECs), which lease lines from the RBOCs, do not
have such a conflict, and several, including Covad Communications, are
offering DSL service to Internet service providers. However, since the
CLECs depend on RBOCs for copper wire, their fortunes are tied to the telcos.

Transmeta showed two chips, both of which the company claims
consume just a single watt of power.
The TM3120, available now, is designed
for $500 to $999 Linux-based "Web pads" and is fully x86 compatible. Its
price ranges from $65 for a 333 MHz version to $89 for a 400 MHz version.

English sailor who, by virtue of his own ingenuity, survives for years

When he unveiled the TM3120, Mr. Ditzel said it will run a "new class
of computers," and he held up a mobile computing device that was nearly
as large as a notebook computer, but its entire face was a touch
screen. When he tapped the screen, a virtual keyboard appeared on it, and,
thanks to a built-in wireless connection, he was on the Internet.

How about a break up of the Intel MS cartel -
The TM5400 is aimed
at Windows-based notebooks selling for $1,200 to $2,500.
The chip is in
the sampling stage now and is expected to be available by
the middle of the year.
The x86-compatible microprocessor will be
priced at $119 for the 500 MHz version and $329 for the 700 MHz. Mr. Ditzel
said that the two new processors are the first microprocessors whose instruction
set is implemented entirely with software. Analysts said they were unaware
of any other chipmakers using a similar approach. It would take about two
years -- and some reverse engineering of Transmeta's chips -- for a major
chipmaker to get to market with a similar offering, Mr. Enderle says.
It is the software approach that makes Transmeta's chips easier to
design, Mr. Ditzel says. Because they're simpler, they generate less heat
than normal microprocessors, he adds.
As was first reported by Redherring.com, the Transmeta chip combines
"code morphing" software with a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor.
Mr. Ditzel said that three-quarters of the
chip's capabilities comes from the code-morphing software, including
its x86 compatibility and its PC-like performance. Another Transmeta official
said the software means a notebook computer can run for one full day on
a single battery.
The VLIW technology means the chip uses significantly
fewer transistors than chips with similar speeds, making them easier to
design and produce.
Transmeta is partnering with IBM for manufacturing. It has an entire
design team in IBM's Essex Junction, Vermont, facility.
Mr. Ditzel noted that Crusoe was a platform, and he said that means
that Transmeta has "all of the technology pieces to allow computer manufacturers
to bring complete products to market." To date, it has raised "in the hundreds
of millions of dollars," he says.
The first VC round was led by Institutional
Venture Partners and the Walden Group (where Mr. Tai was a partner back
in 1995); the second round was led by Integral Capital Partners, the third
by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, and the fourth by billionaire investor
George Soros's funds.
Despite the hurdles, DSL appears to have stirred up considerable interest
in the computer industry.
In June, networking-equipment vendors Cisco (CSCO), Ascend (ASND) and
Cabletron (CS) all acquired or invested in DSL technology suppliers. And
a consortium of companies called UAWG, which includes Microsoft (MSFT),
Compaq (CPQ), and Intel (INTC), is working on a set of DSL standards that
will make it easier to install DSL, and will require less hardware.
However, without a current agreement by all of the RBOCs on a common
flavor of DSL, and given the recent consensus of the computer industry
on modem standards, DSL may even fall further behind cable at this point.
"
There is no widespread agreement among the telcos," says Mr. Nicholas,
"
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
Still, if the telco industry is able to reach consensus quickly, DSL
may make inroads as the cable operators spend time building out their own
networks.
"Cable has a head start, but is nowhere near ubiquitous," says Ken Hoexter,
a vice president at Goldman Sachs. "
There's room for multiple ways of reaching
the end user."
Microsoft is one heavyweight in particular which is characteristically
mindful of those opportunities. As the cable and telco players decamp to
their respective corners, Microsoft is hedging its bets as a DSL booster
-- who also happens to have a $1 billion investment in cable operator Comcast
(CMCSA).

Ever wondered how some gas stations can authenticate your credit
card so quickly? ( At the pump ) A satellite connection eliminates a traditional
dial-up modem connection. In this instance, ground stations at many hundreds
of gas stations can share the same slice of expensive satellite spectrum
using a TDMA (time-division multiple access) approach. Since the duty cycle
for any one station is very low, this approach is extremely efficient.
The net result is that rather than paying five cents to complete the transaction
with a long-distancecall, the company only pays a few pennies to do so
via satellite. And in a busy gas station, the resulting savings can pay
for the $3,000 satellite terminal in just 18 months
Well your local ISP which has a wireless link to your home or office
and the uplink can provide high bandwidth today - at a lower cost to the
ISPthan traditional T1 T3 lines
The question becomes the last mile / Km for consumers but not for
business - and there are thousands of chains - Did anyone say McDonnell's
-Grocery stores - drug stores - Dept. stores - Doctors and hospitals and
insurance -travel agents - banks - ATM's - brokers - all cut the wire and
clear transactions in real time from their terminals or cash registers
or cell phones anywhere and can do inventory and B2B in real time? once
it reaches critical mass the price goes down and the speed and bandwidth
goes up - maybe even faster then in computing - 1/2 the price and twice
the capacity every 18 months.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (Bentonville, Ark.) uses VSATs to link hundreds
oftheir facilities together. Paging networks use VSATs to send paging messages
to transmitters. Nationwide newspaper companies use satellites to send
contents to multiple printing locations. Why? Because the same message
is sent out to multiple transmitters for time-synchronized transmission.
ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet
connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access
to anyonewith its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability
to hook (look) up, similar to the way some television programming is available
via satellite today. It does matter http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm

McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel

The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions

? McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong

In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. I believe in wireless -
optic broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar
-
The issue is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions
of new users and can't string wires - but can run a optic fiber backbone
with radio towers CDM code or time division multiplex - either only needs
a little push to get there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up -
these are the BIG issues. Who controls the rules and protocols controls
a lot.

October 26, 1999 New Alliance Will Promote Wireless Access to Internet
By DAVID BARBOZA
group of leading technology companies said Monday that they would form
an alliance to create products that would allow consumers to get high-speed
Internet access through a wireless system within the next year.
The consortium -- which is led by Cisco Systems Inc., the giant Internet
networking company, and Motorola Inc., the maker of wireless telephone
products -- is essentially backing an alternative to delivering broadband
Internet access through underground cables and wires.
The race to bring broadband Internet access to consumers has led
to several alliances that promise to deliver that kind of service through
satellites, cellular telephone networks and standard cable and telephone
lines. Now, the group headed by Cisco and Motorola is trying to provide
a cheaper and more effective solution to digging up the ground and laying
cables:
They want to deliver data, voice and video services over the airwaves
and directly into buildings and homes that are affixed with antennas or
the equivalent of a satellite dish.
"This is the technology that is going to take the fixed broadband
wireless market into the next millennium," said Steve Smith, director of
marketing in the broadband wireless business unit at Cisco Systems, which
is based in San Jose, Calif. "This gets consumers Internet access without
tearing up the ground."
Officials at Cisco Systems said Monday that a group of 10 companies
-- Motorola, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Bechtel Telecommunications, Samsung,
Toshiba, LCC International, EDS, KPMG Consulting and Pace Microtechnology
-- had agreed to create and develop products that use a Cisco technology,
one that is equipped to deliver Internet service over a radio frequency
called MMDS.
Aware that the AT&T Corp. was moving into cable television and
developing a system capable of delivering high-speed Internet access through
its cable services, MCI Worldcom and Sprint have spent about $1 billion
in the last few years to buy many of the companies that owned the licenses
to the MMDS radio spectrum. Three weeks ago, MCI Worldcom agreed to acquire
Sprint in a $115 billion merger.
If the technology is successful, it appears that Internet service
providers will be able to choose among cable operators, wireless service
providers and perhaps even satellite operators like Teledesic LLC, which
is developing a kind of "Internet in the Sky" technology, a multibillion-dollar
plan backed by the cellular telephone pioneer Craig McCaw and William H.
Gates of Microsoft.
Cisco Systems and Motorola are also backing something called LMDS,
which is another radio frequency that offers broadband access, mostly to
businesses. According to Cisco officials, however, the MMDS system is more
effective in crowded urban areas and is more easily available to everyday
consumers and the mass market.
Robert Edwards, a spokesman at Motorola, which is based in Schaumburg,
Ill., said Monday that the company was backing both the LMDS and MMDS technologies
and working to develop a large portfolio of offerings so that big technology
companies and consumers could have a wide range of alternatives to getting
broadband access.
The companies involved in the agreement Monday said that the ability
to deliver high-speed broadband access through a wireless system would
also rapidly accelerate the introduction of broadband services to rural
areas and urban centers, and do so more easily and inexpensively.

comments on
http://www.wiredbrain.net/webmaster.htm
The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??
The keys are both the hand held portable GMS and the home appliance - the

A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major
Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band offrequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘householdutility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).

IN BROADBAND WARS, WILL DSL SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE CABLE?
Wireless - see below -
By Peter Jerram Red Herring Online September 23, 1998 http://www.redherring.com/insider/1998/0923/coppercable.html
The rise of the Internet has fueled a tremendous demand for faster access
by both business users and consumers.
On the home front, Internet users are maxing out on 56K modems, with
many poking along at half that speed, or less. Businesses have access to
higher speed leased lines, but pay steep tariffs to telcos for the privilege.
Many feel the constrained bandwidth is stunting the development of Internet
content and applications.
"Once we enable high speed, we'll enable all kinds of new applications,
and no one really knows where that's going to take us," says Lisa Pelgrim,
senior analyst with Dataquest in San Jose.
But where it's taking us is a question that's ahead of itself; where
we are right now in terms of competing broadband opportunities is still
at issue.
Worth the wait?
Several companies, led by @Home (ATHM) and Time Warner's (TWX) Road
Runner, are touting Internet access services using the television cables
already installed in a majority of American homes. By using this existing
infrastructure, fast, cheap Internet access could be available to millions
of homes.
After two years of trials, however, cable deployment is spotty, with
fewer than 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. In the headlong
rush of the computer industry, progress has seemed glacial at best.
"People I talk to in Silicon Valley don't believe [cable] exists because
if it did it would be there first," says Michael Harris, an analyst with
TeleChoice in Phoenix.
Deployment was delayed in part as cable operators waited for modem standards,
and for the price of modems, to fall to a retail price of under $300. Operators
also underestimated the infrastructure challenges in rolling out Internet
access.
"
They got into the field and realized it was going to be a little harder
than they thought," says Harris.
Going two-way
Industry leader TCI (TCOMA) feeds about 20 million homes, but only about
1.2 million of those are now two-way capable, according to TeleChoice.
Despite the condition of TCI's network, AT&T (T) paid $28 billion for
TCI to get at it. "AT&T purchased infrastructure," says Ms. Pelgrim.
With interoperable modem standards finally in place and prices dropping
into the consumer comfort zone, TCI and other cable operators are now on
the cusp of large-scale deployment -- a central proviso of AT&T's acquisition.
"
The entire merger was predicated on pervasive deployment of cable-modem
technology," says Henry T. Nicholas, chairman and CEO of broadband chipmaker
Broadcom (BRCM). "AT&T paid a premium with the understanding that two
way upgrading was underway."
Mr. Nicholas says that TCI will have its network 50 percent two-way
enabled by next year, and he should know. In a recent announcement, Broadcom
revealed that it has integrated all of the cable-modem media access control
(MAC) and physical layer transmission functionality into a single chip
instead of three.
The company said this will mean that next-generation cable modems will
be smaller and cost less for consumers while being able to deliver data,
digital video, telephony, and Internet access at speeds up to 56 megabits
per second, or 1,000 times faster than standard 56k voice-band modems.
Moreover, Broadcom's new chip has the circuitry for phone connections
through TV cable, which would allow cable companies to offer Internet access
at rates more competitive with phone companies. According to
The Wall Street
Journal, the new chips are expected to cost around $50 each in small allotments
--- about the same as the current three-chip set -- but maybe half that
or less in large orders.
This announcement may just give cable the nudge, and even the market
validation, needed for cable to become the more adopted broadband standard.
Will the telcos ever get it?
Meanwhile, the telcos are pinning their hopes on digital subscriber
lines (DSL), a means of delivering high bandwidth digital signals over
ordinary copper phone lines.
In the past several months, most of the regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs) have announced DSL service. "
The pressure is on the phone companies
to keep up [with cable]," says Mr. Harris.
Telcos are focusing mainly on small and medium-sized businesses, although
most carriers also offer plans for residential customers. DSL speeds range
from 128K to 8 Mbps.
The high end of that range places DSL squarely in
the realm of traditional leased lines, which are far more costly.
The telcos
are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs
higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
Early indications are that the carriers will run into some of the same
infrastructure issues that have plagued cable operators. DSL service is
only available to customers within about three miles of a telco central
office, which eliminates more than half of otherwise eligible customers.
Telcos are also finding that the condition of local loop wiring limits
its ability to carry high speed data reliably. Ubiquitous DSL coverage
may require reworking the copper wire infrastructure, an undertaking that
was not in the plan.
"Telcos are in a catch-22 -- do they really want to reconfigure their
plant for DSL, or do they do something else like fiber to the curb?" say
Mr. Harris.
Many in the industry have found themselves up against the fabled telco
bureaucracy as well.
"
The RBOCs have moved slower than we would have liked, it's been refreshing
to work with the cable companies by comparison," says Heidi Clark, chairman
and CEO of broadband equipment supplier Cayman.
Several analysts also questioned whether the telcos would seriously
consider cannibalizing their profitable leased-line businesses. Competitive
local exchange carriers (CLECs), which lease lines from the RBOCs, do not
have such a conflict, and several, including Covad Communications, are
offering DSL service to Internet service providers. However, since the
CLECs depend on RBOCs for copper wire, their fortunes are tied to the telcos.
Disagreeing to agree

LinusTorvalds.
Transmeta showed two chips, both of which the company claims
consume just a single watt of power.
The TM3120, available now, is designed
for $500 to $999 Linux-based "Web pads" and is fully x86 compatible. Its
price ranges from $65 for a 333 MHz version to $89 for a 400 MHz version.

English sailor who, by virtue of his own ingenuity, survives for years

When he unveiled the TM3120, Mr. Ditzel said it will run a "new class
of computers," and he held up a mobile computing device that was nearly
as large as a notebook computer, but its entire face was a touch
screen. When he tapped the screen, a virtual keyboard appeared on it, and,
thanks to a built-in wireless connection, he was on the Internet.

How about a break up of the Intel MS cartel -
The TM5400 is aimed
at Windows-based notebooks selling for $1,200 to $2,500.
The chip is in
the sampling stage now and is expected to be available by
the middle of the year.
The x86-compatible microprocessor will be
priced at $119 for the 500 MHz version and $329 for the 700 MHz. Mr. Ditzel
said that the two new processors are the first microprocessors whose instruction
set is implemented entirely with software. Analysts said they were unaware
of any other chipmakers using a similar approach. It would take about two
years -- and some reverse engineering of Transmeta's chips -- for a major
chipmaker to get to market with a similar offering, Mr. Enderle says.
It is the software approach that makes Transmeta's chips easier to
design, Mr. Ditzel says. Because they're simpler, they generate less heat
than normal microprocessors, he adds.
As was first reported by Redherring.com, the Transmeta chip combines
"code morphing" software with a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor.
Mr. Ditzel said that three-quarters of the
chip's capabilities comes from the code-morphing software, including
its x86 compatibility and its PC-like performance. Another Transmeta official
said the software means a notebook computer can run for one full day on
a single battery.
The VLIW technology means the chip uses significantly
fewer transistors than chips with similar speeds, making them easier to
design and produce.
Transmeta is partnering with IBM for manufacturing. It has an entire
design team in IBM's Essex Junction, Vermont, facility.
Mr. Ditzel noted that Crusoe was a platform, and he said that means
that Transmeta has "all of the technology pieces to allow computer manufacturers
to bring complete products to market." To date, it has raised "in the hundreds
of millions of dollars," he says.
The first VC round was led by Institutional
Venture Partners and the Walden Group (where Mr. Tai was a partner back
in 1995); the second round was led by Integral Capital Partners, the third
by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, and the fourth by billionaire investor
George Soros's funds.
Despite the hurdles, DSL appears to have stirred up considerable interest
in the computer industry.
In June, networking-equipment vendors Cisco (CSCO), Ascend (ASND) and
Cabletron (CS) all acquired or invested in DSL technology suppliers. And
a consortium of companies called UAWG, which includes Microsoft (MSFT),
Compaq (CPQ), and Intel (INTC), is working on a set of DSL standards that
will make it easier to install DSL, and will require less hardware.
However, without a current agreement by all of the RBOCs on a common
flavor of DSL, and given the recent consensus of the computer industry
on modem standards, DSL may even fall further behind cable at this point.
"
There is no widespread agreement among the telcos," says Mr. Nicholas,
"
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
Still, if the telco industry is able to reach consensus quickly, DSL
may make inroads as the cable operators spend time building out their own
networks.
"Cable has a head start, but is nowhere near ubiquitous," says Ken Hoexter,
a vice president at Goldman Sachs. "
There's room for multiple ways of reaching
the end user."
Microsoft is one heavyweight in particular which is characteristically
mindful of those opportunities. As the cable and telco players decamp to
their respective corners, Microsoft is hedging its bets as a DSL booster
-- who also happens to have a $1 billion investment in cable operator Comcast
(CMCSA).

Ever wondered how some gas stations can authenticate your credit
card so quickly? ( At the pump ) A satellite connection eliminates a traditional
dial-up modem connection. In this instance, ground stations at many hundreds
of gas stations can share the same slice of expensive satellite spectrum
using a TDMA (time-division multiple access) approach. Since the duty cycle
for any one station is very low, this approach is extremely efficient.
The net result is that rather than paying five cents to complete the transaction
with a long-distancecall, the company only pays a few pennies to do so
via satellite. And in a busy gas station, the resulting savings can pay
for the $3,000 satellite terminal in just 18 months
Well your local ISP which has a wireless link to your home or office
and the uplink can provide high bandwidth today - at a lower cost to the
ISPthan traditional T1 T3 lines
The question becomes the last mile / Km for consumers but not for
business - and there are thousands of chains - Did anyone say McDonnell's
-Grocery stores - drug stores - Dept. stores - Doctors and hospitals and
insurance -travel agents - banks - ATM's - brokers - all cut the wire and
clear transactions in real time from their terminals or cash registers
or cell phones anywhere and can do inventory and B2B in real time? once
it reaches critical mass the price goes down and the speed and bandwidth
goes up - maybe even faster then in computing - 1/2 the price and twice
the capacity every 18 months.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (Bentonville, Ark.) uses VSATs to link hundreds
oftheir facilities together. Paging networks use VSATs to send paging messages
to transmitters. Nationwide newspaper companies use satellites to send
contents to multiple printing locations. Why? Because the same message
is sent out to multiple transmitters for time-synchronized transmission.
ISky, the first to provide both upstream and downstream Internet
connectivity, will blanket the country, giving broadband Internet access
to anyonewith its satellite dish and a view of the southern sky the ability
to hook (look) up, similar to the way some television programming is available
via satellite today. It does matter http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm

McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel
Nextlink etc. and create a last mile system build on optic fiber with a

I should mention the NEXUM ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm

The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions
in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless
for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone
i.e. voice Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable
? McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications
device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with
video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC
with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set
up a big private network.
Then you roll out the same high speed service
for domestic users in some markets -
I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. I believe in wireless -
optic broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar
-
The issue is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions
of new users and can't string wires - but can run a optic fiber backbone
with radio towers CDM code or time division multiplex - either only needs
a little push to get there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up -
these are the BIG issues. Who controls the rules and protocols controls
a lot.

Small and medium businesses and many households are clamoring for

October 26, 1999 New Alliance Will Promote Wireless Access to Internet
By DAVID BARBOZA
group of leading technology companies said Monday that they would form
an alliance to create products that would allow consumers to get high-speed
Internet access through a wireless system within the next year.
The consortium -- which is led by Cisco Systems Inc., the giant Internet
networking company, and Motorola Inc., the maker of wireless telephone
products -- is essentially backing an alternative to delivering broadband
Internet access through underground cables and wires.
The race to bring broadband Internet access to consumers has led
to several alliances that promise to deliver that kind of service through
satellites, cellular telephone networks and standard cable and telephone
lines. Now, the group headed by Cisco and Motorola is trying to provide
a cheaper and more effective solution to digging up the ground and laying
cables:
They want to deliver data, voice and video services over the airwaves
and directly into buildings and homes that are affixed with antennas or
the equivalent of a satellite dish.
"This is the technology that is going to take the fixed broadband
wireless market into the next millennium," said Steve Smith, director of
marketing in the broadband wireless business unit at Cisco Systems, which
is based in San Jose, Calif. "This gets consumers Internet access without
tearing up the ground."
Officials at Cisco Systems said Monday that a group of 10 companies
-- Motorola, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Bechtel Telecommunications, Samsung,
Toshiba, LCC International, EDS, KPMG Consulting and Pace Microtechnology
-- had agreed to create and develop products that use a Cisco technology,
one that is equipped to deliver Internet service over a radio frequency
called MMDS.
Aware that the AT&T Corp. was moving into cable television and
developing a system capable of delivering high-speed Internet access through
its cable services, MCI Worldcom and Sprint have spent about $1 billion
in the last few years to buy many of the companies that owned the licenses
to the MMDS radio spectrum. Three weeks ago, MCI Worldcom agreed to acquire
Sprint in a $115 billion merger.
If the technology is successful, it appears that Internet service
providers will be able to choose among cable operators, wireless service
providers and perhaps even satellite operators like Teledesic LLC, which
is developing a kind of "Internet in the Sky" technology, a multibillion-dollar
plan backed by the cellular telephone pioneer Craig McCaw and William H.
Gates of Microsoft.
Cisco Systems and Motorola are also backing something called LMDS,
which is another radio frequency that offers broadband access, mostly to
businesses. According to Cisco officials, however, the MMDS system is more
effective in crowded urban areas and is more easily available to everyday
consumers and the mass market.
Robert Edwards, a spokesman at Motorola, which is based in Schaumburg,
Ill., said Monday that the company was backing both the LMDS and MMDS technologies
and working to develop a large portfolio of offerings so that big technology
companies and consumers could have a wide range of alternatives to getting
broadband access.
The companies involved in the agreement Monday said that the ability
to deliver high-speed broadband access through a wireless system would
also rapidly accelerate the introduction of broadband services to rural
areas and urban centers, and do so more easily and inexpensively.

If physicist Luke Stewart can do what he says he can send voice, video, and data thousands of miles over electric lines at the speed of light he will produce perhaps the most significant development in communications since Alexander Graham Bell.
That could take the company he cofounded in North Dallas, Media Fusion L.L.C., to heights greater than Microsoft in both earnings and market value.

comments on
http://www.wiredbrain.net/webmaster.htm
The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??

The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major
Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band offrequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘householdutility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).

building and upgrading the infrastructure -- not only in the
U.S., but around the world -- to support higher speed applications for
Internet access, video and voice services in the ''last mile/kilometer``
of communications networks.
The reference to the Battle of the Airwaves

The historic process of new technology had three stages - invention,
roll out and hobby for specialist, and mass market with full infrastructure.
The Internet was around for 30 years for specialist. Netscape made it a
hobby and IT jumped into the mass market before the infrastructure was
it place.
Gates felt, in 1997 that the Internet could not work without bandwidth
- In a way he was right - IT has gotten ahead of itself. Now it need to
catch up but with huge ( more than a billion dollars a day ) investment
in infrastructure.
In the past a few mega firms or monopolies provided the standards
and control to build a rational infrastructure -
The railroad barons prevented
lines of different gages going nowhere - Standard Oil did the same for
pipelines, the Road Lobby created the structures for cars, RCA for radio
and Ma Bell for phones, Edison Electric for power and light, General Motors,
and then IBM and MS "rationalized" the market.
The IT Internet infrastructure lacks common standards - Cable modems
were delayed for years - HDVT, even the 56 BPS modem was delayed - then
DVD - now Code Division or Time Division multiplex wireless standards -
GS3 satellite technology changes before you can get the birds in the air,
optic fiber DSL ( ADM ) and on and on.
So Bill and MS will have to do for communications what they did for
the PC or Cisco ( Intel ) or World Com , AOL / Warner someone will.
They
could raise the billions to put optic fiber on the doorstep - with wireless
and Direct TV for remote areas - voice ( tele-phone ) video ( tele-vision
) Internet interactive TV ( Web-TV ) and cable - Optic fiber is the holy
grail and exists in parts of Europe and Singapore - coming fast in Japan
- but requires a new massive system of nodes, storage and flash memory,
switches, and wisdom.
Remember it's not the best and the brightest but the most aggressive
and toughest that win. Apple is a better computer - None of the dominant
firms have ever been accused of being on the cutting edge ( Maybe Bell
Labs - a few areas of IBM ) but they controlled the standards and the market.
What is GS3 ( Global System 3 )for MS that Bill is going to do 100
% of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and
MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire??
The keys are both the hand held portable GMS and the home appliance - the
universal communications device that runs as a terminal - software ( by
MS ) and OS by MS - to provide operations on a rental or fixed fee for
service system - It owns the pipe - it owns the birds - it owns the OS
- but provides content and services for all ( Bill's idea of open systems
) This is where AOL should have been going rather than content which is
begging for distribution. Content must have eyeballs - but the owner of
the pipe and OS is KING !
In 1997 LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Service -- has become
the Manhattan Project of the telecommunications industry.

new 28-gigahertz broadband connection - several went bankrupt NOW http://www4.zdnet.com:80/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2419875,00.html
McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel
Nextlink etc. and create a last mile system build on optic fiber with a
wireless last mile - Time division hardware is out there -
I should mention the NEXUM ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm

The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions
in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless
for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone
i.e. voice
Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable ?
McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle
of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - (
The last was between Armstrong
and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM )
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major
Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band offrequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become aradio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘householdutility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).

I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of
cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on
a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass
market for their service is very limited. Ibelieve in wireless - optic
broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar -
The issue
is China -
The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions of new users
and can't string wires -but can run a optic fiber backbone with radio towersCDM
code or time division multiplex - either only needs a little push to get
there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up - these are the BIG issues.

IN BROADBAND WARS, WILL DSL SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE CABLE?
Wireless - see below -
The rise of the Internet has fueled a tremendous demand for faster access
by both business users and consumers.
On the home front, Internet users are maxing out on 56K modems, with many poking along at half that speed, or less. Businesses have access to higher speed leased lines, but pay steep tariffs to telcos for the privilege. Many feel the constrained bandwidth is stunting the development of Internet content and applications.
"Once we enable high speed, we'll enable all kinds of new applications, and no one really knows where that's going to take us," says Lisa Pelgrim, senior analyst with Dataquest in San Jose.
But where it's taking us is a question that's ahead of itself; where we are right now in terms of competing broadband opportunities is still at issue.
Worth the wait?
Several companies, led by @Home (ATHM) and Time Warner's (TWX) Road Runner, are touting Internet access services using the television cables already installed in a majority of American homes. By using this existing infrastructure, fast, cheap Internet access could be available to millions of homes.
After two years of trials, however, cable deployment is spotty, with fewer than 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. In the headlong rush of the computer industry, progress has seemed glacial at best.
"People I talk to in Silicon Valley don't believe [cable] exists because if it did it would be there first," says Michael Harris, an analyst with TeleChoice in Phoenix.
Deployment was delayed in part as cable operators waited for modem standards, and for the price of modems, to fall to a retail price of under $300. Operators also underestimated the infrastructure challenges in rolling out Internet access.
"
They got into the field and realized it was going to be a little harder
than they thought," says Harris.
Going two-way
Industry leader TCI (TCOMA) feeds about 20 million homes, but only about 1.2 million of those are now two-way capable, according to TeleChoice. Despite the condition of TCI's network, AT&T (T) paid $28 billion for TCI to get at it. "AT&T purchased infrastructure," says Ms. Pelgrim.
With interoperable modem standards finally in place and prices dropping into the consumer comfort zone, TCI and other cable operators are now on the cusp of large-scale deployment -- a central proviso of AT&T's acquisition.
"
The entire merger was predicated on pervasive deployment of cable-modem
technology," says Henry T. Nicholas, chairman and CEO of broadband chipmaker
Broadcom (BRCM). "AT&T paid a premium with the understanding that two
way upgrading was underway."
Mr. Nicholas says that TCI will have its network 50 percent two-way enabled by next year, and he should know. In a recent announcement, Broadcom revealed that it has integrated all of the cable-modem media access control (MAC) and physical layer transmission functionality into a single chip instead of three.
The company said this will mean that next-generation cable modems will
be smaller and cost less for consumers while being able to deliver data,
digital video, telephony, and Internet access at speeds up to 56 megabits
per second, or 1,000 times faster than standard 56k voice-band modems.
Moreover, Broadcom's new chip has the circuitry for phone connections
through TV cable, which would allow cable companies to offer Internet access
at rates more competitive with phone companies. According to
The Wall Street
Journal, the new chips are expected to cost around $50 each in small allotments
--- about the same as the current three-chip set -- but maybe half that
or less in large orders.
This announcement may just give cable the nudge, and even the market validation, needed for cable to become the more adopted broadband standard.
Will the telcos ever get it?
Meanwhile, the telcos are pinning their hopes on digital subscriber lines (DSL), a means of delivering high bandwidth digital signals over ordinary copper phone lines.
In the past several months, most of the regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs) have announced DSL service. "
The pressure is on the phone companies
to keep up [with cable]," says Mr. Harris.
Telcos are focusing mainly on small and medium-sized businesses, although
most carriers also offer plans for residential customers. DSL speeds range
from 128K to 8 Mbps.
The high end of that range places DSL squarely in
the realm of traditional leased lines, which are far more costly.
The telcos
are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs
higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
The telcos are offering a flavor of the technology called asymmetric DSL, which employs higher bandwidth for receiving than for sending information.
Early indications are that the carriers will run into some of the same infrastructure issues that have plagued cable operators. DSL service is only available to customers within about three miles of a telco central office, which eliminates more than half of otherwise eligible customers.
Telcos are also finding that the condition of local loop wiring limits its ability to carry high speed data reliably. Ubiquitous DSL coverage may require reworking the copper wire infrastructure, an undertaking that was not in the plan.
"Telcos are in a catch-22 -- do they really want to reconfigure their plant for DSL, or do they do something else like fiber to the curb?" say Mr. Harris.
Many in the industry have found themselves up against the fabled telco bureaucracy as well.
"
The RBOCs have moved slower than we would have liked, it's been refreshing
to work with the cable companies by comparison," says Heidi Clark, chairman
and CEO of broadband equipment supplier Cayman.
Several analysts also questioned whether the telcos would seriously consider cannibalizing their profitable leased-line businesses. Competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), which lease lines from the RBOCs, do not have such a conflict, and several, including Covad Communications, are offering DSL service to Internet service providers. However, since the CLECs depend on RBOCs for copper wire, their fortunes are tied to the telcos.

How about a break up of the Intel MS cartel -
The TM5400 is aimed
at Windows-based notebooks selling for $1,200 to $2,500.
The chip is in
the sampling stage now and is expected to be available by
the middle of the year.
The x86-compatible microprocessor will be
priced at $119 for the 500 MHz version and $329 for the 700 MHz. Mr. Ditzel
said that the two new processors are the first microprocessors whose instruction
set is implemented entirely with software. Analysts said they were unaware
of any other chipmakers using a similar approach. It would take about two
years -- and some reverse engineering of Transmeta's chips -- for a major
chipmaker to get to market with a similar offering, Mr. Enderle says.
It is the software approach that makes Transmeta's chips easier to
design, Mr. Ditzel says. Because they're simpler, they generate less heat
than normal microprocessors, he adds.
As was first reported by Redherring.com, the Transmeta chip combines
"code morphing" software with a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor.
Mr. Ditzel said that three-quarters of the
chip's capabilities comes from the code-morphing software, including
its x86 compatibility and its PC-like performance. Another Transmeta official
said the software means a notebook computer can run for one full day on
a single battery.
The VLIW technology means the chip uses significantly
fewer transistors than chips with similar speeds, making them easier to
design and produce.
Transmeta is partnering with IBM for manufacturing. It has an entire
design team in IBM's Essex Junction, Vermont, facility.
Mr. Ditzel noted that Crusoe was a platform, and he said that means
that Transmeta has "all of the technology pieces to allow computer manufacturers
to bring complete products to market." To date, it has raised "in the hundreds
of millions of dollars," he says.
The first VC round was led by Institutional
Venture Partners and the Walden Group (where Mr. Tai was a partner back
in 1995); the second round was led by Integral Capital Partners, the third
by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, and the fourth by billionaire investor
George Soros's funds.

Despite the hurdles, DSL appears to have stirred up considerable interest in the computer industry.
In June, networking-equipment vendors Cisco (CSCO), Ascend (ASND) and Cabletron (CS) all acquired or invested in DSL technology suppliers. And a consortium of companies called UAWG, which includes Microsoft (MSFT), Compaq (CPQ), and Intel (INTC), is working on a set of DSL standards that will make it easier to install DSL, and will require less hardware.
However, without a current agreement by all of the RBOCs on a common flavor of DSL, and given the recent consensus of the computer industry on modem standards, DSL may even fall further behind cable at this point.
"
There is no widespread agreement among the telcos," says Mr. Nicholas,
"
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
They're trying, but it's fractious and contentious."
Still, if the telco industry is able to reach consensus quickly, DSL may make inroads as the cable operators spend time building out their own networks.
"Cable has a head start, but is nowhere near ubiquitous," says Ken Hoexter,
a vice president at Goldman Sachs. "
There's room for multiple ways of reaching
the end user."
Microsoft is one heavyweight in particular which is characteristically mindful of those opportunities. As the cable and telco players decamp to their respective corners, Microsoft is hedging its bets as a DSL booster -- who also happens to have a $1 billion investment in cable operator Comcast (CMCSA).

Ever wondered how some gas stations can authenticate your credit
card so quickly? ( At the pump ) A satellite connection eliminates a traditional
dial-up modem connection. In this instance, ground stations at many hundreds
of gas stations can share the same slice of expensive satellite spectrum
using a TDMA (time-division multiple access) approach. Since the duty cycle
for any one station is very low, this approach is extremely efficient.
The net result is that rather than paying five cents to complete the transaction
with a long-distancecall, the company only pays a few pennies to do so
via satellite. And in a busy gas station, the resulting savings can pay
for the $3,000 satellite terminal in just 18 months

Small and medium businesses and many households are clamoring for
more bandwidth. Demand for high-speed Internet and data networks is growing
exponentially, but only a few privileged large corporations have fiber
access. Around the world, telecom markets are liberalizing, with new competitors
and incumbents positioning themselves to meet the demands of the new millennium.
LMDS and other broadband fixed wireless technologies are proving
to be a viable solution. LMDS and related technologies offer broadband
speeds with a quick time to market, an attractive capital structure, and
no need to dig up streets. In addition, they support multiple applications,
delivering voice, video, and high-speed data - a major benefit given the
current trends toward convergence of data and voice networks and the growing
popularity of bundled services.
October 26, 1999 New Alliance Will Promote Wireless Access to Internet
By DAVID BARBOZA
group of leading technology companies said Monday that they would form
an alliance to create products that would allow consumers to get high-speed
Internet access through a wireless system within the next year.
The consortium -- which is led by Cisco Systems Inc., the giant Internet
networking company, and Motorola Inc., the maker of wireless telephone
products -- is essentially backing an alternative to delivering broadband
Internet access through underground cables and wires.
The race to bring broadband Internet access to consumers has led
to several alliances that promise to deliver that kind of service through
satellites, cellular telephone networks and standard cable and telephone
lines. Now, the group headed by Cisco and Motorola is trying to provide
a cheaper and more effective solution to digging up the ground and laying
cables:
They want to deliver data, voice and video services over the airwaves
and directly into buildings and homes that are affixed with antennas or
the equivalent of a satellite dish.
"This is the technology that is going to take the fixed broadband
wireless market into the next millennium," said Steve Smith, director of
marketing in the broadband wireless business unit at Cisco Systems, which
is based in San Jose, Calif. "This gets consumers Internet access without
tearing up the ground."
Officials at Cisco Systems said Monday that a group of 10 companies
-- Motorola, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Bechtel Telecommunications, Samsung,
Toshiba, LCC International, EDS, KPMG Consulting and Pace Microtechnology
-- had agreed to create and develop products that use a Cisco technology,
one that is equipped to deliver Internet service over a radio frequency
called MMDS.
Aware that the AT&T Corp. was moving into cable television and
developing a system capable of delivering high-speed Internet access through
its cable services, MCI Worldcom and Sprint have spent about $1 billion
in the last few years to buy many of the companies that owned the licenses
to the MMDS radio spectrum. Three weeks ago, MCI Worldcom agreed to acquire
Sprint in a $115 billion merger.
If the technology is successful, it appears that Internet service
providers will be able to choose among cable operators, wireless service
providers and perhaps even satellite operators like Teledesic LLC, which
is developing a kind of "Internet in the Sky" technology, a multibillion-dollar
plan backed by the cellular telephone pioneer Craig McCaw and William H.
Gates of Microsoft.
Cisco Systems and Motorola are also backing something called LMDS,
which is another radio frequency that offers broadband access, mostly to
businesses. According to Cisco officials, however, the MMDS system is more
effective in crowded urban areas and is more easily available to everyday
consumers and the mass market.
Robert Edwards, a spokesman at Motorola, which is based in Schaumburg,
Ill., said Monday that the company was backing both the LMDS and MMDS technologies
and working to develop a large portfolio of offerings so that big technology
companies and consumers could have a wide range of alternatives to getting
broadband access.
The companies involved in the agreement Monday said that the ability
to deliver high-speed broadband access through a wireless system would
also rapidly accelerate the introduction of broadband services to rural
areas and urban centers, and do so more easily and inexpensively.
