When you encapsulate -down the layers- until you reach the wire you add overhead. As all those applications move to IP, your bandwidth is carrying a hell of a lot of overhead and less payload. Moreover, in ATM all traffic is carried like crude oil. A super tanker -bandwidth- carrying an undistinguishable load of dirty. At the end of you have to refine, process and so on. With DTM is like carrying a whole ship load of containers, full of boxes full of cans of lubricant oil. You know which one is yours, which one is for motorcycle engines, which one that is for tractors, for cars and for machinery. You can track your own container, your own box and your own can of oil. Guaranteed QoS. Moreover only you can open your box and take your can of oil. Guaranteed security. In telcom-speak looks like this: DTM network features include: Guaranteed Quality of Service Possibility for customer controlled bandwidth (bandwidth on demand) Support for voice, data and video in a single network infrastructure Multicast support Dynamic resource allocation Scalable to Terabit speeds Support for billing per used bandwidth Capability to set channels from 512 Kpbs up to link capacity, in steps of 512 Kbps Implicit support for Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

DTM (continuing) is developed in Sweden. The difference to the US is that, in the US, when a guy develops something in the proverbial garage he opens the door and has half of the world's market at his door step. Here, when you open the garage door you have half meter of snow. The guys are establishing the presence. Mostly pilot projects. In New York: its collaboration with ICG, the third largest CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) in the U.S., continues. This is proceeding according to plan and is part of Net Insightïs developing presence on the U.S. market, where the city network market is growing rapidly. Other Pilots are in done in a few cities around Sweden and Finland. There is a second company Dynarc www.dynarc.se which is also developing DTM. Similar situation as Netinsight.
