This internet 'thing' sounds like the end of DR. Can you explain to me how it works?

Sprint is simply upgrading its pindrop network network using standard Dense Wave Division Multiplexing which will allow extremely high-speed IP traffic to co-exist with voice, video and data on the same fiber. The dozens of proprietary, simultaneous voice/data modems on the market are simply the digital equivalent of walking and chewing gum and they never really caught on: been there, done that. It was inevitable that standards like H.323 and technology like DWDM would catch on quickly. I think RACE has a 70's mindset and they don't understand why their 80's technology is being panned: to them it's a modern solution. By the time RACE is burgeoning with 56K versions of unsold inventory the standards-based, high-speed, low-cost simultaneous voice/video/data modems will be on store shelves. "None of this technology, over time, is proprietary," said Scott Cleland, a telecom analyst at the brokerage firm Legg Mason. "What's significant here is that Sprint says it's ahead." sprint.com
