Network: Wanted: an Internet without speed limits The Independent - London - Tue, Jan 20 1998 Meanwhile, in the US, most of the focus is now on cable and ADSL, both of which are significantly faster than ISDN. "We're backing both technologies," says Mike Valiant of 3Com, one of the world's biggest modem manufacturers. "But it will be interesting to see how things develop in the UK." Unfortunately, you can't subscribe to cable tomorrow and get a 2Mbps Internet connection straight away. Cable companies have to upgrade their exchanges to provide this service, and British companies have been slow to do this. 3Com already sells cable modems in the US, "but the stage we're at in the UK is just talking to cable companies", Valiant says. "We hope to see services in mid-'98." guide-p.infoseek.com o~~~ O
