Well globetrotting Pat, How are your Singapore sources? VOD sounds like coins in Amati's purse (somwhere down the pike!)ÿ Note the ADSL trial follows the VOD trial here... Singapore Telecom in new multimedia trial Source: Reuters SINGAPORE, Reuters via Individual Inc. : Singapore Telecommunications Ltd said on Tuesday it would launch a multimedia broadband trial at a cost of Singapore $1 million in about three months. The trial will involve about 40 selected SingNet internet subscribers who will receive multimedia programmes like news and movies through their computers. The households would be fitted with modems known as Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Lines (ADSL), connected to regular telephone lines. The ADSL modems will run at a speed of 5.5 megabits per second, more than 200 times faster than regular modems, SingTel said in a statement. Quality of video would also improve as videos played on SingTel's multimedia broadbrand service would run at 25 frames per second, compared with the average five frames per second of visuals computer users currently obtain, the statement said. The multimedia trial is separate from a Video-On-Demand (VOD) trial Telecom is now running in some 300 households. The multimedia trial delivers interactive applications on the PC platform while VOD delivers programs over TV. Separately, Telecom said this week it would have invested a total of S$16 million in infrastructure to support its expanding internet service by the end of March next year. This compares to a modest S$1.2 million when internet access was initially introduced in July 1994. --Singapore newsroom 65-8703088 [12-03-96 at 06:17 EST, Copyright 1996, Reuters America Inc.]
