Yeah, and we can make a space shuttle or rocket 15 times larger than what we have today to get it into orbit, right?? I mean, a 3500 foot tall rocket oughta work right?? PLEASE don't tell me you ARE a rocket scientist....
Umm yeah.... I have only had 1 service outage in 2 years, and I have video, voice and data through my cable Co..... maybe you just need another cable CO.
Are you SURE that's where those fees are going??? around here, those fees go to the state or city Govt. and the telecom industry doesn't get them BACK to expand their networks.....
What would happen to all existing TELECOM companies?? Second, Cable(hybrid fiber-coax) using a new standard that is now being rolled out (DOCSIS 2.0) can push 10 Mbps in both directions, and by using digital compression, can squeeze enough HDTV down the pipe, an also have dedicated spectrum for voice traffic(be it VOIP or POTS modulated over COAX). So they can use their spectrum efficiently, keep all three services separate(as far as throughput goes) so that intense data trafic doesn't affect voice or video. SOUNDS LIKE A DECENT PLATFORM TO ME......
OH YEAH.....and they arent ran by BIG BROTHER....
Check your bulb, cuz you don't look too bright, once it becomes a viable energy source, FARM equipment, as well as our cars(you know...combustion engines) will burn it....
Personally, I think that it should depend on how it is marketed/sold. If you sell VOIP as a "lifeline" phone service, then yes, it should be regulated just like PSTN, but if you only sell the service, as an application over existing data networks, then no, it should not be regulated..
Typical canadian.. of course you can't blame canadians for anything... THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING!!
Whats the last good thing to come out of canada?? They kick back, buy our products, enjoy the freedoms of being a neighbor to a superpower, and then bitch about everything we do... CANADIANS CAN KISS MY ASS....
OK...you have a point, but my SUV could go OVER your lil' piece of crap, and you'd fit in between the axles, thus making your post irrelevant.... OK, not really, but one thing I have noticed is that mirror design has a lot to do with it, I have a Mitsubishi Montero Sport, and its side mirrors are longer vertically, so that they can point down into blindspot, and still cover traffic behind me, as well as in the next lane..
True.... but in today's society, we have tooo many people that can't even read a map... so I think that our drivers-ed would have to be brought up to speed also, no matter how simple you make it.
I have to agree with you that "knowing your surroundings", combined with keeping track of vehicles, has kept me out of a few accidents, including seeing the pair of morons in their "rice burners" racing and weaving thru traffic that nearly clipped me....
I'm still waiting for the radar/thermal imaging system that projects on your heads-up display, and shows you all traffic, and a lit up version of the road(around corners' thru mountains etc.)...
Yeah, its probably an american company's technology, we will just let the "canadians" try it to see if it causes cancer..... that is a win-win... if it works good, we can implement it.. if it causes cancer... less canadians..... win-win.....
Well, you do what my cable co. does and make uncapping impossible using "source verify". It verifies the source of the frimware and config, and will only allow modems that are set up properly to work....

Its those canadian parts coming off, trying to say that it is the wreckless american's fault....

Yeah, high $$ for now, but order 100 million OC-3's , and watch that price fall by different manufacturers wanting their piece of the pie....
I work in TELECOM, but not wireless, which platform is the "wave of the future"? IE the one that CAN push serious throughput???

Umm....NO, not enough bandwidth, but with fiber to the home, whats stopping you from making it 5 to 10 Gbps?? (see SONET)...

challenger or columbia type disaster... (shuttle)..
Something tells me Someone in control @ /. is Canadian, cuz no one I know gives a rats ass about canada....
I'm amazed at everyones "Chocolate-packing" experience, I didn't know there were so many fudgepackers in the geek-ranks.....
UMM lemme see, its a MAC, thats why I could pass it up ....
UMM lemme see.... COMEDY.... that post was COMEDY, grow a sense of humor, and then come read the post again....

you can get to them that way also, but can't make any changes, it simply shows you the TX and RX level, MAC addresses, IP leases ETC.. Diag only...
