Bill Gates' New Year's predictions Microsoft chairman Bill Gates expects 1998 to be a year of faster Net access. He expects DSL, Digital Subscriber Line, to become more widely available. DSL allows faster data transmission across plain old telephone lines. It's already in use in Singapore, where access speeds are dozens of times faster than using convention modems, Gates said in his latest column in The New York Times. He says that while DSL is in trial in the U.S., it won't be until this time next year that the service will be available to consumers. Among his predictions for the new year are two repeated from last year: that videoconferencing and Net meetings will become important, and the total cost of owning a PC will fall sharply, again.
