Re: "this one may take the cake" and other News
We've had some strange ADSL news over the past two years, but this one may take the cake. "Strange" in that it's vague on who's doing the actual technolgy.
Pat,
Here's a Link, though I can't get thru now, perhaps it will work
at a better time of the day.
Bangkok Post Nov 26, 1997 - TOT ready to implement series of new
technologies 96%
Bangkok Post November 26, 1997 COMMUNICATIONS TOT ready to implement
series of new technologies The Telephone Organisation of Thailand (TOT) plans to introduce a series of new technologies: Intelligent Networks (INs), Asynchronous Transfer Mode. bangkokpost.co.th, 4421 bytes, 24Mar98
This news story just as vague, Click on "Services" then "Our Current Projects".

This Link gives a hint.....
"However, we're fortunate enough to piggy back SchoolNet on the ThaiSarn network; which can squeeze part of the resources to help schools. In the beginning, we've received assistance in kind from many parties, for example: Nectec's own Network Technology Laboratory (NTL), Compaq, Microsoft, Intel, Powell Computers and Cisco," Dr Thaweesak explained.

If I get another chance I'll try to find out more. I started to check it out this morning (9am), got side tracked on a great site, and just now came up for air.
Here is a few things I found this morning, I like the first one the best.

On to Petabit Networks
High-speed networking authority Craig Partridge says
gigabit rates aren't nearly high enough
ISPs are reporting some big numbers when it comes to the traffic their networks are handling. Growth rates are anywhere between 15 percent and 30 percent per month; stretch that over 12 months and annual growth rates are 500 percent to 1,800 percent.
So maybe these rates won't last forever. But improvements in such access technologies as xDSL (digital subscriber line) suggest we're in the midst of a continuing trend. That means carriers will have to build bigger trunks. How big?
Try petabit-per-second. How soon? By 2007, if growth proceeds at just 15 percent per month. And if it continues at 30 percent, they'll be needed by 2002.
To put the capacity numbers into perspective, consider that a gigabit is equivalent to 109 bits and a terabit to 1012 bits. A petabit, on the other hand, is 1015 bits of capacity. And those on the leading edges of research already are throwing around some much larger figures, like exabit (1018 bits), zettabit (1021), and yottabit (1024).
