Nikkei Jumps After Nasdaq Rally TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo stocks began the new year brightly on Tuesday, quickly jumping above the key 19,000 mark in early trade following solid overnight gains on the U.S. Nasdaq market, traders said. At 0008 GMT, the benchmark Nikkei average was up 253.27 points or 1.34 percent at 19,187.61, breaching the 19,000 level for the first time since November 26. The March futures contract was up 280 points at 19,110. But traders said volume would be limited due to the half-day trading session. Full trading will resume on Wednesday. The Tokyo market continued to be led by high-technology and telecommunication shares, with telecom carrier DDI Corp soaring 90,000 yen or 6.43 percent to 1.49 million yen as of 0024 GMT and mobile phone giant NTT Docomo rising 130,000 yen or 3.31 percent to 4.06 million yen. Among high-tech blue-chips, Sony Corp gained 900 yen or 2.97 percent to 31,200, extending its all-time high, while NEC Corp was up 135 yen or 5.54 percent at 2,570. Traders said the performance of Sony, which boosted market confidence late last year with its announcement of a planned two-for-one share split, is expected to lead the overall market for the time being.

Greg: Re << food for thought>> Thanks for sharing those articles on bandwidth and financial changes- it helps to understand what is happening. In 1954 at NAA my job was to assign the missile measurements to be transmitted to the ground during flight of the xxxx missile. We had a PCM/PDM (pulse code modulated/pulse duration modulated) Radio transmitter system on one RF frequency by which one could sample and send 20 different measurements over one RF channel with the pulse lengths representing the magnitude of the measurement. So the basic concept of sending packets of data has been around for a while, now expanded by the use of multiple bandwidth and enormous speeds beyond my comprehension. But it seems Dr. I J has no problem dealing with that(hehe) Some progress has been made since the Hallicrafters S-38 wireless receiver(G) and its changing the world.
