Opticom is a Norwegian based company developing unique all-organic and hybrid silicon/organic memory. They have a working prototype of a 1 Gb 62ns ROM chip. They use a hybrid design combining silicon driver circuitry and Opticoms ROM film. The ROM chips demonstrated the feasibility of multiple memory layers (2-6 layers).
I am truly amazed by the incompetence shown by european politicians in this issue. Banning caches will make the net considerably slower, and what will they gain?
Two major concerns:
1) Lobbying groups (with strong opinions) really rules the ground. (The politicians are too easily influenced, don't have an opinion by them selves.)
2) The form the Europeean parlament has today, where the voters are not able to throw out incompetent politicians in the next poll, since the politicians are chosen by the individual governments, and not by European polls.
I have been fluctuating back and forth in the EU issue as a Norwegian. (We are NOT members of EU). If this gets through, I am glad we still are not members.
