I jumped outta the window once already, but I forgot I was on the first floor and only bruised myself.

More: Intel Throws Support Behind Cable Modems Setting its sights on the consumer cable-modem market, Intel has forged alliances with a pair of cable-modem developers and a related industry trade group. Intel's agreement with @Home calls for the joint development of external cable modems using Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 technologies for plug-and-play connectivity solutions. The two companies also plan to work on Internet Protocol telephony, which includes voice, video, teleconferencing and videoconferencing, and other home-networking solutions. At the same time, Intel plans to increase its investment in @Home, which went public in July. The design specifications for the cable modems are expected to be available in the first half of 1998. Intel and Cisco aim to develop an easy-to-install cable modem that uses only USB as the connecting technology. The two companies will work to integrate Intel's USB cable-modem specifications as an alternative to today's Ethernet interface for cable modems in the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). Intel also plans to base its USB cable-modem design work on Cisco's cable-modem hardware reference design and help Cisco integrate USB into future versions of its reference design. Intel is also working with Cable Television Laboratories, in Santa Clara, Calif., a research and development consortium of cable television system operators to co-develop a draft for two new high-speed data interface specifications for submission to the Cable Labs-managed DOCSIS process. The effort is intended to make USB and IEEE 1394 connectivity part of the cable-modem specification. Cable modems provide connectivity speeds up to 100 times faster than the 56-kilobit-per-second connections supplied by traditional modems. o~~~ O
