I think this is already in the system somewhere but to repeat if it is a repeat: DALLAS
--MCI WorldCom has successfully completed the industry's first live commercial trial of next-generation optical networking equipment from Nortel Networks* [NYSE/TSE: NT], setting the stage for a new era of networking. In the trial, MCI WorldCom successfully carried a Terabit of traffic per second on a single, hair-thin strand of fiber - sufficient capacity to enable one million 1-megabit multimedia connections. nortelnetworks.com
Cable paid and or sell home subscribers for about $1500 ( some a lot more some less ) so a 1000 hooks on homes is worth a million - or more - fiber costs $100,000 to only $25,000 a mile in bulk if you own the right-of-way - The utility companies own the right-of-way they lease to the cable companies. Why mess with old technology DSL and ADSL was well developed in the 1960's and could have given the phone companies complete digital service - ( but they are run by Apes with a franchise ) Cable should have been two way and offered a bunch of services - health, safety, utilities - ( It cost $3.00 to read a meter every month ) but those apes need to buy the city and bribe their way into franchises. Quality of service has never been an issue with franchises.
Also some new technology may come along to change all the rules
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.

High Speed Internet by wiredbrain.com 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 - |
