Re: "this one may take the cake" and other News We've had some strange ADSL news over the past two years, but this one may take the cake. "Strange" in that it's vague on who's doing the actual technolgy. Pat, Here's a Link, though I can't get thru now, perhaps it will work at a better time of the day. Bangkok Post Nov 26, 1997 - TOT ready to implement series of new technologies 96% Bangkok Post November 26, 1997 COMMUNICATIONS TOT ready to implement series of new technologies The Telephone Organisation of Thailand (TOT) plans to introduce a series of new technologies: Intelligent Networks (INs), Asynchronous Transfer Mode. bangkokpost.co.th, 4421 bytes, 24Mar98 This news story just as vague, Click on "Services" then "Our Current Projects". newscience.net This Link gives a hint..... "However, we're fortunate enough to piggy back SchoolNet on the ThaiSarn network; which can squeeze part of the resources to help schools. In the beginning, we've received assistance in kind from many parties, for example: Nectec's own Network Technology Laboratory (NTL), Compaq, Microsoft, Intel, Powell Computers and Cisco," Dr Thaweesak explained. nb-pacifica.com You may have seen this one... Thailand Upgrading Phone System To Digital 04/14/98 nb-pacifica.com tot.or.th If I get another chance I'll try to find out more. I started to check it out this morning (9am), got side tracked on a great site, and just now came up for air. Here is a few things I found this morning, I like the first one the best. JW@KSC ADSL based Web Site *Checkout the ADSL Installation Notes* mgrannan.com Broadband Services in Europe: ADSL or Cable? byte.com Check out the graph at bottom of the page Telecommunications Is Dead, Long Live Networking The Effect of the Information Revolution on the Telecom Industry by James Bond worldbank.org On to Petabit Networks High-speed networking authority Craig Partridge says gigabit rates aren't nearly high enough ISPs are reporting some big numbers when it comes to the traffic their networks are handling. Growth rates are anywhere between 15 percent and 30 percent per month; stretch that over 12 months and annual growth rates are 500 percent to 1,800 percent. So maybe these rates won't last forever. But improvements in such access technologies as xDSL (digital subscriber line) suggest we're in the midst of a continuing trend. That means carriers will have to build bigger trunks. How big? Try petabit-per-second. How soon? By 2007, if growth proceeds at just 15 percent per month. And if it continues at 30 percent, they'll be needed by 2002. To put the capacity numbers into perspective, consider that a gigabit is equivalent to 109 bits and a terabit to 1012 bits. A petabit, on the other hand, is 1015 bits of capacity. And those on the leading edges of research already are throwing around some much larger figures, like exabit (1018 bits), zettabit (1021), and yottabit (1024). data.com ADSL May Be Top Data Access Choice (04/09/98; 7:07 p.m. ET) techweb.com 1998 XDSL ComForum iec.org Bell Canada ADSL Services interlog.com ADSL and DSL Technologies McGraw Hill Publishing softprowest.com For Steve S. or anyone in Central Florida Web-Based Simulation at AeroSense98 13-17 April 1998 Orlando, FL spie.org
