Technology Access Report, November/December 1999 Patent Office Hands Livermore Lab and Inventor McEwan Vindication, but Time Domain?s Political and PR Campaign Hangs On By Michael Odza Time Domain Corp. just won?t quit. The feisty company has hired PR firms and Washington lawyers and lobbyists (but couldn?t afford to sue); it convinced the minority staff of the U.S. House Science Committee and some major media to air its attempt to take over competitive patents issued to Lawrence Livermore Very interesting - more smoke and mirrors - I think I know some of the people involved in the low power radar -security systems - MIR communications business - includes Wayne Huizenga opengroup.com and they talk of a license for the low power radar and a 10,000 MHZ chip from aero-space McDonnell Douglas CRUSE terrain following system. The idea is the super wireless modem I have been looking for PLUS a number of practical application in security systems - It sees all - knows all - tells all three monkeys - one with a BIG mouth, one with its hands to his ears, and one with radar eyes ANY IDEAS What is GS3 ( Global System 3 ) for MS that Bill is going to do 100 % of the time ? - first there was the mainframe and IBM - then the PC and MS - now the nexum - with MS-2 a marketing and communications empire?? The keys are both the hand held portable GMS and the home appliance - the universal communications device that runs as a terminal - software ( by MS ) and OS by MS - to provide operations on a rental or fixed fee for service system - It owns the pipe - it owns the birds - it owns the OS - but provides content and services for all ( Bill's idea of open systems ) This is where AOL should have been going rather than content which is begging for distribution. Content must have eyeballs - but the owner of the pipe and OS is KING ! In 1997 LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Service -- has become the Manhattan Project of the telecommunications industry. zdnet.com But hen what happened - several companies pay top dollar for the new 28-gigahertz broadband connection - several went bankrupt NOW www4.zdnet.com:80/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2419875,00.html McCaw and Bill still think with Teledesic, ICO Global, Nextel Nextlink etc. and create a last mile system build on optic fiber with a wireless last mile - Time division hardware is out there - I should mention the NEXUM ( wiredbrain.com ) The idea is simple but the roll out complex because of billions in hardware. A high capacity satellite link to optic fiber - to wireless for the last mile - data ( high speed internet and VPN ) video and telephone i.e. voice Why isn't AOL in this kind of deal rather than Warner and cable ? McCaw knows cable and believes it will be by passed ? This is the battle of the century - the new war of the AirWaves - ( The last was between Armstrong and RCA - Sarnoff about Radio and FM ) In order to sell the system - the NEXUM a universal communications device which works on line all the time - dial tone connections - with video and hot internet you first go after the corporate market - CONCENTRIC with optic fiber, T1 and DSL lines then the small business user and set up a big private network. Then you roll out the same high speed service for domestic users in some markets - I am looking into it - thanks - the AOL Warner raises issuers of cable access. Someone must know something so that cable can be used on a wide scale - AOL knows all too well that the future of low speed mass market for their service is very limited. I believe in wireless - optic broadband doing the last mile via some kind of microwave radar - The issue is China - The PLA and post telegraph have hundred of millions of new users and can't string wires - but can run a optic fiber backbone with radio towers CDM code or time division multiplex - either only needs a little push to get there. What about Direct TV downlink and DSL up - these are the BIG issues. Who controls the rules and protocols controls a lot.

The document is neutral from the point of view of vendors or service providers, but it does answer a lot of questions frequently asked by Cable Modem users.
