Once More From the TOP:
It's about time !
The main line press has caught-on
to the power of the internet ? What wiredbrain and others ( mainly Netscape,
Oracle, ( considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinions.
b. An authoritative or wise statement or prediction ) IBM, SunMicrosystems
and the NOISE group ) have been talking about since Netscape 1.0 and WINS
connections - the virtual office and the Network Computer has now arrived
in the PC world.
"
The new concept ( only to you ) goes by a variety
of names: instant Web office; virtual office; instant intranet; Web tone;
Internet dial tone; and so on.
The idea is to provide everything a user
needs on a central server. Users can then access that server over the Internet
with just a terminal and a phone line.
Then they "rent" Internet and intranet
applications for as little as $10 to $20 per person per month. (That's
a fraction of the per-user cost of an in-house intranet.)"
and a box that cost 10 % of a PC work station (
$500 vs. $5,000 ) and doesn't crash, doesn't need systems managers, and
doesn't require constant upgrades but does need bandwidth.

Instant Intranets Just Stage One in Emerging Market Struggle

What is clear but not said is this is the end of the
Age of the PC. First the main frame, then the PC now the NC -

There is now a immense industry we can call
IT “INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY”.
IT
now represents the critical
modern enterprise growing to be a quarter of all economic activity.
IT
is a greater engine
for growth than railroads in the 19th century, oil and chemical industries
in the first half of this century. IT is equal to the auto industry, which
reached 25 % in the 1950s. “IT” like the auto industry includes the hardware
( the computer or car), the infrastructure, (communications and networks
or the roads) the energy ( software or oil ) the services, ( consultants
and staff or Gas Stations ) and parts ( modems, drives, or car radios ).
IT includes the computers ( the car ), the roads ( the telecom business
), services ( software ) and the social educational infrastructure.
IT provides the web of
life for modern enterprise - design, production, distribution, sales, of
goods and services. IT is the growth industry and in labor market.
There
are millions of new jobs and additional people needed world wide.
Unlike the auto industry the IT business evolves quickly.
New hardware computers and chips, new methods of communications, new applications
evolve quickly. IT is quickly becoming one unified, highly complex living
system on a global basis.
The whole is more than the sum of the parts -
synergy that comes from elaborate interactions.
There are critical “flash point” - global telcom systems
based on satellites connect to earth stations that can use telephone lines
including new high bandwidth technologies, optic fiber, wireless broadband,
and cable connections.
The high bandwidth connections use improved modems
to provide support for networks.
These new networks provide what have been
called telephones, television, personal computers, and something new -
beyond what now are common utilities.
The common base system is the “browser”, which will
provide all of the application in a Java type objects - in a Video User
Interface (VUI) using chips that can handle digital TV and Digital Hard
Drives for storage all as parts of the new super modems.
IT is why the DOJ Microsoft case
is important. What was called the “operation system” OS now becomes VUI,
an interface between a “terminal” ( telephone, TV, and PC = NC ) and a
communications media.
The interface uses program “packets” as well as content
“packets” the
operational software is contained
within the data
.
The difference between program
and content no longer is significant. With bandwidth the “word processor”
is attached to the files and comes as an instant updated package at the
moment of use. This is Netscape’s, Oracle and others “vision” and the real
challenge to Microsoft.

Story: Breaking
The Bandwidth Barrier
By
Tom R. Halfhill
Cover
Story: Breaking
The Bandwidth Barrier -- New high-speed modems that operate
over cable TV networks and ordinary phone lines will bring an unprecedented
amount of affordable bandwidth to users.
Imagine
if you could buy a desktop computer with a 15,000-MHz processor, 1600 MB
of RAM, and a 100-GB hard drive for less than $20. Sure, you could run
Microsoft Word a little faster and recalculate wall-sized spreadsheets
in the blink of an eye. But the real impact of that much power at such
a breakthrough price would be almost impossible to predict, because it's
the kind of breathtaking leap that spawns entirely
new
applications that weren't thinkable before.
Online
bandwidth is on the verge of making just such a leap.
The mythical system
described above is about 100 times faster than today's PCs at 1/100 the
cost, and that's approximately the price/performance advantage that a new
generation of broadband modems will deliver over existing phone lines and
cable TV networks. Compared to the latest analog modems, it's a quantum
leap in affordable bandwidth that spans two orders of magnitude for about
1/100 the cost of a T1 dedicated phone line. Never before in the history
of computing has there been such a jump: Microprocessors grow only about
twice as powerful every 18 months, and analog modems are only about ten
times faster than they were 20 years ago.

JUGGLING.
Their holy grail: to unite PCs, phone, E-mail, fax, and video into a seamless
fabric.
They are designing software that sends phone calls around the world
on the Internet so cheaply it's like dialing your cousin across town. And
they're offering high-quality videoconferencing systems that make it as
easy to do a meeting on top of a mountain as in the company cafeteria.
''Last year was Year 1 of a 15-year revolution,'' says Joseph S. Kraemer,
a vice-president at consulting group A.T. Kearney in Rosslyn, Va. ''We're
about to jam the equivalent of the 100-year Industrial Revolution into
the next 15 years.''
CABLE
MODEMS: Sleek
black boxes that link PCs to TV cables, letting home Web surfers download
information from the Internet at up to 40 million bits per second (mbps).
TCI, Time Warner, and others are conducting trials,
DSL:
The Baby Bells' answer to cable modems.
These ''digital subscriber line''
technologies boost the data transmission speed of old-fashioned copper
wires to as much as 9 mbps. BellSouth, Bell Atlantic, and MCI are in field
trials,
BROADBAND
SATELLITE: Schemes to beam down high-speed
Internet
access
from satellites have been hatched by a diverse crew, including Hughes Communications,
Space Systems/Loral, and Teledesic, a new venture backed by Craig McCaw
and Bill Gates. Speeds could eventually exceed 1 gigabit--
ATM:
A
superfast switching technology called asynchronous transfer mode is already
boosting capacity on long-distance phone and data links. Proponents say
the technology, which runs up to 622 mbps, could do wonders for crowded
office networks as well.
GIGABIT
ETHERNET: As the name suggests, these powerful
office network switches will handle a billion bits per second, posing a
big challenge to ATM. Large companies will start installing them later
this year.
It's
only a matter of time. LOS, low orbit satellites, connected to wireless
modems ( see http://www.wiredmind.com/
IdeaWeb.htm
and
hotflash.htm )
will provide global high speed communications in the near future.
KIRKLAND,
Wash. (AP) -- Beginning in 2000, rockets all over the world will begin
carrying Volkswagen-sized satellites about 435 miles above the earth. Over
the course of two years, 840 of them will be gently dropped into place,
fanning out to form a constellation that covers the globe.
No
government planned this venture. At a final price tag of $9 billion, it's
unlikely any would. Instead, two of the world's richest and smartest men
have put their personal fortunes behind a long-shot proposition -- bringing
fast Internet access to the entire world.
The
company is called Teledesic Corp., and its two primary investors are Bill
Gates of Microsoft and Craig McCaw, who vaulted near the top of the most-money
list in 1994 when he sold McCaw Cellular Communications to AT&T for
a cool $11.5 billion.

Wireless options grow for fast access
By
Jeff Pelline July 24, 1997, 1:30 p.m. PT
He is one
of several thousand people who are using powerful devices called cable
modems to link their personal computers to cable TV lines. Users can watch
TV while they tour cyberspace over the same cable line.
Analysts
said the expense of the modems was the main factor preventing widespread
use of the technology and the $300 barrier was seen as a key level.
The
impact of the price cuts was seen Tuesday when Time Warner Inc. agreed
to buy 250,000 cable modems from Motorola, one day after Zenith said
it cut the price of its cable modems to $299 for orders of 1,000 or more.
"This
is encouraging," said Rakesh Sood, an analyst with investment banker Hambrecht
& Quist. "I think it's another milestone along the way to cable modems
becoming more pervasive, but I think we're still some months if not quarters
away from having widespread deployment."
Robert
Wilkes, an analyst at Brown Brothers Harriman, said the price cut is another
sign that 1997 will be the year the cable modem will take off.
http://desi.excite.com/News/970319/10.TECH-MODEM.html
Showcased
at the cable convention here, cable modems can move text, voice and pictures
50 to 100 times faster over cable TV lines than standard telephone modems
used to send and receive information over personal computers.
So how
will the packages get from me to you ?
ADSL
(Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) Technology Encyclopedia: A telephone
line that handles high-speed data such as Internet access, videoconferencing,
interactive TV and video on demand.
The line is split asymmetrically so
that more bandwidth can be used from the telephone company to the customer
(downstream) than from the customer to the telco (upstream).
Discrete
MultiTone DSL (DMT DSL) and Carrierless Amplitude and Phase Modulation
DSL (CAP DSL) provide 1.5 or 6 Mbps downstream and from 64 to 640 Kbps
upstream capacity.
The difference depends on the distance to the telco
switch, which can be up to approximately three miles from the customer.
Rate
adaptive DSL (RADSL) adjusts the speed based on signal quality, providing
downstream rates from 600 Kbps to 7 Mbps and from 128 Kbps to 1 Mbps upstream.
Very high bit rate DSL (VHDSL) provides 55 Mbps downstream and 2.3 Mbps
upstream.
High
bit rate DSL (HDSL) and symmetric DSL (SDSL) are symmetric versions, providing
the same rate in both directions. HDSL provides 768 Kbps on two wires and
1.5 Mbps on four wires. SDLS provides 384 Kbps.
Although
it took more than a decade from ISDN's formal introduction until it became
widespread, it is expected that DSL technologies will be implemented much
faster.

In
1996, Netscape mapped out a pioneering vision of the Full Service Intranet
- internal corporate networks built on open Internet standards that provide
dramatically improved communication and access to information. Netscape
Communicator and Netscape SuiteSpot 3.0 enable the Full Service Intranet
and will ship in the first half of 1997.
Now
Netscape is building on our original Full Service Intranet vision to show
how companies can use their intranets to build a seamless network environment
that enfolds their partners and customers in a web of information. In this
paper we describe this new vision - the Networked Enterprise.

Next-Generation
Products
New
features of upcoming client and server software disclosed.
(3/19/97)
-- Netscape Communications Corporation today revealed additional information
about the capabilities planned in its next-generation client and server
software products, which are currently available in beta releases.
http://www.pcmag.com:80/news/trends/t970319b.htm
Netscape's
announcement of the extranets initiative came amid a flurry of positioning
statements,
made
mostly in a white paper, "
The Networked
Enterprise," that the company
posted on its Web site last week.
The company also coined a new term, Crossware
(which Andreessen appeared not to like very much and said might not "stick"),
to describe a new category of what Netscape is calling "on-demand
applications"
that run across networks, operating systems, and platforms. Revealing portions
of Netscape's upcoming product road map, Andreessen said Netscape plans
to bring forth a Crossware development tool code-named Palomar. Promised
for the second half of the year, Palomar will use HTML,
Java,
and
JavaScript components.
Palomar
will work with Netscape's next-generation client and server systems, code-named
Mercury and Apollo, respectively.
The new client and server systems are
due in 1998, Netscape said.

This
page is a search about how we will be connected from SERVERS that have
uplinks to satellites ( high and low orbits ) and provide a lot more than
connections.
They will be network utilities, similar to what big corporations
already have, so the PC is on a "real" network and becomes more of a Network
Computer.
The link from the server to you will most likely be wireless
and carry cable, phone, fax and all kinds of news services not invented
yet.
One
of these services will be life long learning.
The Internet is an invitation
to learn how to learn. Since people are "troop" animals they need and benefit
from work groups as well as research skill.
The
major economic impact of the Internet will be tele-work or tele-commuters
that work from home, service clubs, or on the road because the economics
are so strong. Office space, driving, and cities are very expensive and
not necessary for many jobs and services - including learning services.

FAIRFAX,
Va. -- On Wednesday, Internet service providerUunet Technologies became
the first carrier to roll out the new digital subscriber line (DSL) services
that promise remote and branch office users a bandwidth injection.
Uunet
is starting with Integrated Switched Digital Network DSL(IDSL) services
that operate at only 128 kilobits per second. Butthe carrier said it quickly
plans to enable users to upgrade their connections to 768 Kbps.
Intel
said business data can be sent to servers at speeds up to 38 megabits per
second, well above the 56 kilobit speeds of leading-edge telephone modems
or the 128 kilobits per second rates of Integrated Digital Services Network
(ISDN). Speeds of six megabits per second to the home will be possible...
The
new company will launch ASTRA-NET, a system for communications using SES's
ASTRA satellite system already in place.
The first business-to-business
communications links will be operational in the second half of this year.

The
Internet start-up explosion reached its peak nearly a year ago, when some
Internet companies changed the rules of raising money in stock markets,
where three years of profitability were considered a prerequisite for going
public.
Yahoo!
Inc., for example, went public at a valuation that peaked in initial trading
at over $1 billion on its first day of trading despite less than a year
of full operating history and no assurance of profits in the foreseeable
future. Despite
the brakes applied to the Internet public offering market last summer,
venture capital investment continues at a strong pace and major corporations
are now going onto the World Wide Web, which continues to grow at a rapid
clip.
Sony
has reached a tentative agreement to become an equal
partner
in a new direct-broadcast-satellite TV service in Japan formed by News
Corp. and Softbank, people close to the venture said.
Known
by the clunky
acronym LMDS
,
or local-multipoint-distribution service, the new technology functions
much like radio or television: Signals are received at a central hub in
a city or town and then broadcast over a three to five-mile area; customers
pick up the signals with a six-inch square box fixed on their roof or the
side of their house or office building. Though not mobile, LMDS can send
and receive data at speeds 20 to perhaps 2000 times greater than conventional
modems plugged into phone lines. Backers of LMDS say one of its greatest
assets is its flexibility.
AT&T

it plans to test a ``revolutionary '' system for doing away with wires
as the phone customer's link to local and long distance service.
The new
wireless technology, produced by a secret, three-year research effort,

"Teledesic proposes an innovative satellite constellation that will comprise
an 'Internet in the sky,"' the FCC said in a statement.It was the first
such license the FCC has granted. Teledesic is backed by Gates, the chairman
of Microsoft Corp., and McCaw, the founder and former chairman of McCaw
Cellular, which is now a subsidiary of AT&T."We are very pleased that

The
visionary author of "2001: A Space Odyssey," Arthur C. Clarke, took part
in Sri Lanka's first live "cybercast," addressing an audience half way
around the world via an Internet video link.
The 79-year-old space guru
broadcast a birthday greeting to "HAL 9000," an "intelligent" computer
he envisioned in his 1968 book which became operational Jan. 12 at the
University of Illinois in Urbana. A digitized video image of Clarke, clad
in a silver space jacket, was broadcast from Colombo's Cyber Cafe, projected
on a large viewing screen at the University of Illinois and simultaneously
broadcast over the Internet's World Wide Web.
The British-born Clarke, author
of scores of novels and non-fiction books, has been living in Sri Lanka
for the past 30 years.In the past half century, many of Clarke's predictions
have come true, including his once controversial 1945 outline of a network
of geostationary communications satellites.
Real-time
systems are slimmed-down versions of computer operating
systems that give computer-like

from phones to TV set-top boxes to network routers and switches.
Lucent
said its new Inferno real-time system is targeted at the emerging market
for Internet-connected "information appliances" like screen phones and
video home terminals.
The
Inferno operating system, which takes up about one megabyte of computer
memory, is available immediately, the Lucent official said. Single copies
are free for evaluation at
Lucent's

A
license to use Inferno in a PC application runs $25 per single user.
The
company offers significant discounts to consumer electronics using Inferno
in large-volume applications, with prices dropping as low as U.S. $5 per
user. "We think that's at the middle- to low-end compared to price points
for similar products," Skarzynski said.

The
bandwidth riff By Lawrence Aragon

It's
a key refrain in the bottleneck blues, and you'll hear it loud and clear
when it comes to remote access: "Gimme more bandwidth!" A growing number
of people working from home and branch offices need high-speed access to
corporate LANs. But 28.8K-bps modems are a joke, ISDN just isn't fast enough
and adding another T-1 line often doesn't make economic sense.

Virtual Library Gates predicts a wired Africa By Reuters March 6, 1997,
6:30 a.m. PTBill Gates, computer guru and chief executive of U.S. software
giant Microsoft (MSFT), said today the Internet was poised to
open
up Africa and India to the world. Wireless can connect the four billion
people who don't have good phone service and one billion more with poor
and or expensive service ( Russia, Eastern Europe, Latin America etc) Tele-work
from these sites can reform world labor markets.

really driving it is the Internet and, secondly, telecommuters who want
to dial into the office," said Clay Ryder, an analyst at Zona Research
in Redwood City, Calif. "People at home generally don't have the resources
to maintain a T-1 solution." Added Lisa Pelgrim, a senior analyst at market-research
firm Dataquest, "People are tired of waiting around for the Internet."
U.S. Robotics' new 56K modem represents a major step toward lessening the
excruciating waits that many Web surfers suffer.
The market for communications
hardware for the Internet and intranets is one of the fastest- growing
segments of the computer industry. Zona estimates that sales will reach
$1.38 billion this year and will grow to $3.06 billion in 1999. Total sales
for modems alone will be $261 million this year and will rise to $368.6
million in 1999, according to Zona.

http://ccnga.uwaterloo.ca/~jscouria/telsites.htmlWithin
the assembly of nine RACE Mobile Projects there existed, at the beginning,
many interpretations of the user and service requirements for what is now
widely known as UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and MBS
(Mobile Broadband System). This is not unreasonable given that each project
is a unique collaboration of manufacturers, network providers, operators,
R&D Institutes and Universities, each with their own particular interpretation
of UMTS and MBS.
http://www.comnets.rwth-aachen.de/Conferences/C4P/race_summit_abs
tracts.html#UMTSAbstract: Advanced communications technologies and
services represent a vital link between industry, the services sector and
the market and in this context, mobile and personal communications are
currently one of the most dynamic sectors of activity and growth in Europe
and worldwide. Significant progress has been made since 1988, by a number
of European Union funded R&D projects working towards the development
of future generations of mobile communication concepts, systems and networks
in the framework of the RACE programme.
The follow-up of the RACE programme,
now referred to as ACTS, represents the European Commission's major effort
to support precompetitive research and technological development in the
field of telecommunications.
This
new programme will offer, in the period 1995-1998, service providers, communications
operators and equipment manufacturers, greater opportunities to master
and trial mobile and personal communications services and technologies.
From the user's perspective the ACTS programme will strive to ensure that
current mobile services are extended to include multi-media and broadband
services, that access to services are made without regard to the underlying
networks and that convenient, light weight, compact and power efficient
terminals adapt automatically to whatever air-interface parameters are
appropriate to the users location and desired services.

assistants doing telework so each of these pages (below) could be sold
as a service with a PERSON to provide personal assistance to (up to ) 1000
subscribers ?
Then the subscribers could have access to the pages made for
the other interest groups. You have password entry to personal pages -
just make a area that requires fees - then for your fee you get personal
e-mail ( short ) notice and a web page for your special interest and access
to the other interest groups updated with WEB searches as well as the 3000
