| | I recently read about a company called Nethercomm that is promoting a broadband in gas technology. Apparently, this company has some patents pending on devices that can be installed in gas pipelines that go to commercial and residential buildings to provide the "last mile" connection for broadband.
It appears the technology is based on radio frequencies propogated down the gas pipe as a wave guide. Nethercomm boasts data rates up to 40 Mbps are possible to the home.
Anyone know of any actual implementation/trials of this technology going on presently? |

I will not use it, problaly. Altough, in their official website it said with broadband powered technology it will reduce the cost of broadband, while increasing the available bandwidth. But personally, I don't think it will cheaper than normal broadband, because as you may know gas is one of the rare natural resources, so maybe some day gas price would be increasing, and it would affect the company  Anyway, this is the company official website: http://www.nethercomm.com/

Wow, that's pretty cool how they managed to make this technology go public, but I am sure that it will be on the expensive side; just think about the maintenance costs! Anyway, this might be good for those who don't have access to cable internet and want to have a fast connection. Good find by the way!

well your forgetting one thins gas is flammable meaning ti will blow up, thus melting all the wiring and cuasing huge problems, you can consider this a failed project from the start. its impossible to rpotect the wiring from getting damaged.

Is It Possible To Destroy The Internet?

Just think, if someone took down the entire internet not only would our lives be boring but it would
basically destroy the U.S. & other big countries all at once.....

Understanding Broadband
are you ready to upgrade ? (1) QUOTE In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is
available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can
be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently,
allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a
highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband (a synonym),
baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to car....

means someone can call you from a normal landline and you can call other landline numbers. They have
also just added the live video software also for free, so if you have a web cam you can see the

Internet Telephony - Any Experiences?

when you take your phone outside your home it uses the Vodafone network, and when you use it at home
it automatically uses voIP over bradband. Sounds interesting.......

Internet Explorer.... With Tabs!
(22) Yes, it’s finally true. Stuck on like a big band aid, courtesy of MSN Toolbar 1.2, we have IE with

needed to do, and have provided tabbed browsing for Internet Explorer. Things are fairly undeveloped
at this stage, but reports talk about it running fast and supporting most features you'd want.

Microsoft Confirmed IE7 Compatible with XP and newer
Internet Explorer 7 only for XP (26) Micrsoft confirmed what we've already expected. The new-coming explorer IE 7 will only be

and lower won't be able to use the new IE are: 1. state in which is the extended support of
Windows 2000 and 2. mostly of technical nature (IE 7 is goin to have a few security updates and
imporvements, which bases on the functionality of the new XP SP2 and this is the reason for its
incompatibility with other versions of Windows) Source: Slashdot ....
Voip(voice Over Internet Protocol)
real money saver (16) VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the communication technology of the future for sure. Legacy
technology carries voice signals over analog circuits and lines. Voice over IP converts the analog
signal to digital and transports the signal to the receiver where it is converted back from digital
to analog and the receiver hears the sender's voice. This provides a more efficient and
economical means of communication. I have know VOIP for quite a some time since i started online.
