More power in a Palm Pilot than on the Apollo 10:

The accelerating rate of change forecast more change in the next century than in the last 10,000 years.

The increases in the rate of change between paradigms began at about 5000 years as ideas spread slowly - domestic animals, agriculture, metallurgy, then cities, bureaucracy and empires - then 500 years - printing, navigation, mathematics, deep mining up to the 18th century.

Then 100 years with potatoes, steam and steel, electric and chemical, communications and computers. Now in 25 years ideas are activated that used to take a century, then 12.5 years will have a century of 20th century progress, then 6.25 years what used to take a century and so forth.

The acceleration of the rate of change has been going on for a long time - it just gets faster and faster.

Therefore if Nano computer would have taken 50 years in the past it can be done in 12.5 years.

The speed of application of stem cells to build body parts, cloned cells used as normal therapies, use of immunization in treatments of ongoing virus infections and cancers, genetic engineered plants and animals as a normal accepted process, all being implemented at great speed. Even in a slow bulky industries such as cars - the fuel cell will move along more quickly than such technologies would have in the past. This really effects markets, marketing, and business planning in very fundamental ways.

U.S. scientists closer to making new type of supercomputer

By Reuters Special to CNET News.com March 15, 2000, 1:55 p.m. PT

LONDON--U.S. scientists moved a step closer to developing a super-computer after looking at a branch of physics that researches the physics of particles invisible to the human eye.

"In the language of quantum information science, we have realized a four-quantum-bit logic gate. This system is relevant for the future development of quantum information technology," the scientists said in the journal Nature.

Conventional computers are based on binary "switches," or bits, which can either be switched on or off. Computers carry out calculations utilizing these switches.

Quantum theory holds that entities such as atoms do not decide whether they exist in an on or off state until they are measured or interact with something.

When they are not interacting, the atoms exist in both states at once--a quantum superposition--said Christopher Monroe, a researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Computers based on quantum physics would therefore be able to have switches or "qbits" that exist in both on and off states simultaneously.

A string of these quantum bits would consequently offer every possible on-off combination and could carry out every calculation a computer needed simultaneously, hugely increasing the computer's power and memory.

soliton pulses

http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=30664

OT: I have heard of 2 interesting soliton related issues. Apparently, the high speed cats that ferry passengers from England to France were causing a wake that did not dissipate as expected and was capsizing boats several miles away. I don't know if this is fact, but it seems consistent with the history of the Soliton's discovery. Second, I was surprised to see that soliton representations of D-branes plays a growing role in the M-theory variation of the superstring stuff. Curious little beasties these are.

As a sidebar, my interest in solitons arose from research I was doing on inverse scattering in the early to mid 80s (a large class of nonlinear equations which support solitons can be linearized by applying what is called a scattering transformation). around 83-84, it became obvious to one of my collaborators and me that solitons would be ideal for digital communications, because of their shape invariance over long distance. So, I call my brother the physicist (in low-temperature physics) at Bell Labs. He scoffs at the whole idea, stating that this is a good theoretical idea, but would not be implementable. About 9 months later Bell Labs has a big announcement about the first demonstration of optical soliton transmission by. L. Mollenauer. So much for expert advice!

80-channel dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) product line and greater than expected demand for OC-192 capability on the 80-channel systems, which created near-term manufacturing capacity and deployment constraints.

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a technology that puts data from different sources together on an optical fiber, with each signal carried on its own separate light wavelength. Using DWDM, up to 80 (and theoretically more) separate wavelengths or channels of data can be multiplexed into a lightstream transmitted on a single optical fiber. In a system with each channel carrying 2.5 Gbps (billion bits per second), up to 200 billion bits can be delivered a second by the optical fiber. DWDM is also sometimes called wave division multiplexing (WDM).

Since each channel is demultiplexed at the end of the transmission back into the original source, different data formats being transmitted at different data rates can be transmitted together. Specifically, Internet (IP) data, SONET data, and ATM data can all be travelling at the same time within the optical fiber.

DWDM promises to solve the "fiber exhaust" problem and is expected to be the central technology in the all-optical networks of the future. DWDM replaces time-division multiplexing (TDM) as the most effective optical transmission method. Although TDM is the primary approach in today's networks, DWDM systems are expected to be tested and deployed in late 1998 and 1999. http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm

America’s Fiber Network

see

http://www.wiredbrain.net/dwdm.htm

http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm Since the boards of directors and management of the telephone companies are slow, or unwilling to replace billions of in place switches and copper wire - the communications companies and power utilities provide fiber to service centers then provide broadband directly to business, wideband or other forms of services for the last mile including using the electric wires themselves. This could replace cable service by video on demand, fully integrated into the Internet - i.e. you go to abcnews.com or cnn.com and order the stories you want when you want them. You go to HBO and down load a movie for a limited number of viewing - with pause and rewind - to see when you want - on the home entertainment digital network.

The network provides security, cell phone home office connections, tele-worker facilities, remote program services - the NEXUM the post PC style services. This is all going to happen fast and the plain old telephone is too slow and too conformable to make the hard choices. I hate monopolies - I hate being tied to one service provider - I want a common wholesale carrier to the curb or to a local service center and a competitive point to point connection. Utility stocks are a good buy because they are safe and boring with cash flow - and may become the hot technology stocks.

They are a buy and hold - it will take a year to 18 months to pay off - but its a great time to cash out of speculative over priced high tech and go largely into Utilities ( power companies not telephone or cable ) such as those below.

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000321/tc/fibernetwork_1.html Analysts said the new company, America's Fiber Network, was aimed at tapping into the hot market for high-speed fiber-optic cable providing wholesale Internet and telecommunications services. America's Fiber Network was formed by utilities American Electric Power Co. Inc. (NYSE:AEP - news), GPU Inc. (NYSE:GPU - news), Allegheny Energy Inc. (NYSE:AYE - news) and FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE - news) and telecommunications firms CFW Communications Co. (NasdaqNM:CFWC - news) and R&B Communications.

The companies have stitched together a 7,000-mile network that will be able to reach about 35 percent of the U.S. market for wholesale communications.

The likely customers would be Internet service providers, local and long-distance phone companies and wireless communications companies. see http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 1999-- Metromedia Fiber Network (NASDAQ:MFNX - news) today announced the signing of its second dark fiber agreement with WinStar Communications (NASDAQ:WCII - news) valued at more than $300 million. Metromedia Fiber Network also plans for a major U.S. intra-city network expansion to 25 markets, including the six newly announced infrastructure builds throughout the metropolitan areas of Denver, Miami, Phoenix, Detroit, Cleveland and St. Louis.

These expansions will bring Metromedia Fiber Network's total planned markets to over 40 in North America and Europe. Utilities are into communications:

The Company's Nonutility operations principally conduct telecommunications operations which sell long distance, Internet, and dedicated line services and equipment and design, develop, construct, operate, maintain, and manage a fiber-optic network and digital microwave facilities.

Web ProForum hosts a tutorial on DWDM from Lucent Technologies. Lucent Technologies offers its WaveStar OLS 400G, a system that provides up to 400 Gbps over a single fiber and, in its maximum eight-fiber configuration, can transmit 3.2 trillion bits per second.

The above is from Fiberopticsonline. It is interesting how quickly OC-48 is being replaced by OC-192 and higher. GigEthernet (to be 10Gig in 2001) at the customer level and in some Metro applications and OC 192 or higher in the backbone. Perhaps there is hope for my slow residential service before Qualcom's HDR. Oh well off for another week on the road for the company so my best to the thread.

DALLAS

--MCI WorldCom has successfully completed the industry's first live commercial trial of next-generation optical networking equipment from Nortel Networks* [NYSE/TSE: NT], setting the stage for a new era of networking. In the trial, MCI WorldCom successfully carried a Terabit of traffic per second on a single, hair-thin strand of fiber - sufficient capacity to enable one million 1-megabit multimedia connections. http://www.nortelnetworks.com/

Also some new technology may come along to change all the rules

http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2270684.html

"Nortel has used its technology, called Digital PowerLine (DPL), successfully in European and Asian markets. Currently, the company has agreements with 10 non-U.S. utilities that serve 35 million homes, says Dan Middleton, director of carrier packet solutions at Nortel's power line networks division.

 If physicist Luke Stewart can do what he says he can send voice, video, and data thousands of miles over electric lines at the speed of light he will produce perhaps the most significant development in communications since Alexander Graham Bell.

That could take the company he cofounded in North Dallas, Media Fusion L.L.C., to heights greater than Microsoft in both earnings and market value.

I do think that nano quantum computers - optic and laser [acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation], device for the creation and amplification of a narrow, intense beam of coherent LIGHT. connected to wideband wireless will be the most important events of our time - having more importance than the silly political debates, because economics come from the structure of industry and enterprise - clearly the railroads, automobiles, radio, TV, computers and the internet are the drivers of our history - culture - social being - and therefore our economy and political system.

The new world order is not an idea or ideology but of commerce based on transportation and communications. Bill Gates, Edison, Ford, are the great forgers of our times -

Bell Labs is known for revolutions.

In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.

Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.

It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the fundamental human need to communicate.

"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation of fiber-optic communications systems.

Major breakthrough

"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.

"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept increasing and increasing on these devices.

There was always that pressure, but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."

There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any device.

At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system, the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open role of a national laboratory.

"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant. "We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out of our research efforts," he said.

The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems. Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed. "Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.

For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers, the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications. But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and the scaling rate appears to be steeper.

The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.

DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals on a fiber.

The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.

The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass said.

The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage. While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.

Large areas

One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals, it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable to DWDM.

Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength channel from a fiber.

These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.

This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately comes up with a solution."

Finisar Launches Optical Edge Switch For

Metropolitan Markets Finisar, a developer of gigabit rate optical link extenders, components and network analyzers, is also developing a DWDM-based aggregation system for extending Fibre Channel SANs and GigabitEthernet LANs across metropolitan fiber networks. http://www.finisar.com/

Finisar's fiber optic systems include GBIC transceivers,optical multiplexers and link extenders, protocol analyzers and data generators for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks.http://www.finisar.com/products/prodframe.htm

This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology. "If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics, and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic network units on the side of each house," he said.

Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching," Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful are less interesting.

The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like in MP3 - the video store goes on line -

The move producer - such as Blair Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever - so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales -

Wireless systems can get up to 400 kps to a million somehow - http://www.wiredbrain.net/symbian.htm for a lot of applications that is fine - and OS chip technology will make greater use of less and less with less energy and heat - more light and lighter -

code division multiple access (CDMA) technology.

HP is investing $2 million in New Media Venture Partners (NMVP) and will provide up to $15 million in debt financing to help the company fund and incubate e-commerce start-ups. In return, subsidiaries of NMVP will use HP products and services.

If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers, communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing - entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what is going on.

The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand in interesting technologies you gain access to information.

There is almost a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the rules again.

Cable is too slow and greedy.

The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic. Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible - such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology - but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible. .

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157 million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year, compared with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.

But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is more efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.

There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the standards.

The following image need to be firmly in mind to understand the AOL/ Time Warner deal - and the frenzy going on in telecommunications and computer industries.

The time frame is about 10 years - the impact comes first in Northern Europe - Singapore - parts of the states - parts of Hong Kong and China - Japan - Taiwan - South East Asia - Australia ( already with system under construction )

http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm

There is optic to the door provided by the utility company. It is a common carrier providing:

 TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition system - programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire on any of the screens around the wired house you desire.

There is no need for program schedules - movies and other video content are downloaded on demand from world wide services. Some charge fees some are free with or without ads. You can watch the BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs any time.

There is no need for movie or music channels since you can order anything you want anytime.

The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays, or purchased and transferred to CD or DVD -

The same with interactive media - games and educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you leave the security system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any motion with recording of motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you click from your cell phone that you are returning home - the lights and heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and the doors unsecured.

The cell phone - palm pilot - personal digital assistant works at 400 kbPs to 4 Mbs with GPS, e-mail and other web content, fold up or screen keyboards, long life batteries, high gain reception of dense multiplex time division wideband GS3 codes. Europe, with its common GSM standard, will likely usher in "3G" technologies (with their 2 megabit/second data to pockets) years before it happens in the U.S.' fragmented cellular environment. And fast wireless data will surely usher in many new Opportunities. - http://www.pathfinder.com/fortune/technology/2000/01/24/ega.html).

The home terminal - NEXUM - provides wireless ( bluetooth ) connection to the mobile elements, TV, music, games, information systems with voice commands. You say " Write a note" and dictate as it appears on the big screen. You correct with the portable keyboard that is used for interactive TV.

The master computer works within a network "master server in the sky" to provide services you need or enjoy. Shopping, banking, tele-communities, video conferences, design and research, games and social activities, travel and adventure, and tuned to your interests and desires.

The master server bills for usage in micro pennies for "extras" but charges a flat fee for "basic services". Several master server companies compete for services on the common carrier -

The services are not tied to the wire - optic cable - so there are two bills - one for connection services - the wireless and wired ( optic ) and another from the service company that passes along charges for rentals, fee for service charges, software licenses, communications on and off net, as we do today with local and long distance phone services and premium cable services.

Where is the money made ? Optic fiber hardware - mobile hardware, utility company right-of-way and network services, the "general utility service company" maybe AOL, Microsoft, NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun Microsystems and everyone else ) Amazon, or others which provides the interface between the user and service providers - banks, insurance, finance and markets, shopping, software and music and games and movies and communications, and entertainment, security, smart home management, and on and on...

Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong

Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).

The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another 15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks.

http://www.yankeegroup.com/webfolder/yg21a.nsf/latestnews/Broadband+Race+Is+on+the+Rise+in+Hong+Kong

The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which don't work very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too high. Optic fiber to the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology using power lines may jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions per day.

The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China and other world markets, all may not have the same solution. Satellite systems have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box - there are sure to be out of the box answers.

``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications but introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to handle today,'' Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.

``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.

With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf the Web, check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use new mobile services such as e-commerce, he said.

Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning in the spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.

According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the residential broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American and 2.6:1 worldwide by the year 2003.

The five-year growth rate for cable modems is forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.

The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are unrealistically

optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream residential market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft overlooked in the excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based telecommunications. Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL still has many technical unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal" service is still open to question.

DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.

The cable companies, in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and remote LAN access as pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered by existing services.

Part-time remote consulting:

Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade and shop, and form communities. I would like to work with organizations that want to get ahead of the curve in both the learning and technology game.

I have been following technology for many years and really have a good feel and record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with other on the NEXUM project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.net/nano.htm and a few other pages

I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems analysis or just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking out of the box, win-win, future, and other ideas.
