re: ORCL, HP team with Utilities in Consortium to Fiber the Last Mile
infoworld.com
"...taking advantage of the deregulated telecom industry, the small,
tightly knit consortium will initially offer digital voice, TV, and Web hosting
over fiber, under the name SpectraDyne Services. It includes Sierra Pacific
Power Company, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and TelecommUnity Systems."

The following image need to be firmly in mind to understand the AOL/ Time
Warner deal - and the frenzy going on in telecommunications and computer
industries. The time frame is about 10 years - the impact comes first in
Northern Europe - Singapore - parts of the states - parts of Hong Kong and
China - Japan - Taiwan - South East Asia - Australia ( already with system
under construction )

There is optic to the door provided by the utility company. It is a common carrier
providing:
wiredbrain.com
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 kbs to 1 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.
The home terminal - NEXUM - provides wireless ( bluetooth ) connection to the
mobile elements, TV, music, games, information systems with voice commands. You
say " Write a note" and dictate as it appears on the big screen. You correct with the
portable keyboard that is used for interactive TV. 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... The super on-line
service using optic fiber to the door.
