Eddie:
You seem to know something about the market for such things as IAS's DWM technology (if it worked), and other telecommunications technologies.
I would like to ask you what you think a technology which could deliver actual performance gains for dial up modems, immediately and at competitive prices, would be worth in the real market? For example, being realistic, a modem technology which could deliver 64-128 kbps over dial up lines (exclusive of standard compression methods like V.42bis), presuming such a technology existed and could be demonstrated to the public? Or a technology using ISDN or packet switching to deliver 250-500 kbps (again, not including data compression; much data is not compressible now anyway)?
There are many technologies, such as the xDSL families, which can deliver great performance but which are not "plug and play" and are not yet price effective, on the horizon. They are tomorrow's products, though, and will take a while to filter down to every last mile loop. Dial up solutions such as I suggest would solve immediate problems.
Would appreciate your opinion.
