Bill says get that last mile to my people! Gates outlines Windows 98 Microsoft CEO says Internet browser reflects 'middle phase' of innovation During his speech, Gates also took issue with the cable television and telephone industries' unwillingness to establish a standard for digital transmission into U.S. households. Although the business world has been quick to connect to fiber-optic systems through T1 lines, households haven't been offered equal access due to different standards currently in test markets. "The one top problem we've got in hardware advances is getting everybody connected at high speeds...Most people even five years from now will probably still be connected through the phone line," Gates said. cnnfn.com

AT&T CORP said its recent frame relay network failure was due to a software-based problem. Last week AT&T's massive frame relay network failed, disrupting service for thousands of business customers nationally for about a day. AT&T previously said the problem was related to the interaction between two frame relay switches that affected the rest of the network. AT&T Chairman C. Michael Armstrong said the company is working closely with CISCO SYSTEMS INC, which provided the switches, on ways to fix the problem. The frame relay network is a high-speed packet data networking technology used by businesses that need to exchange large amounts of computer information in short and frequent bursts.
