TRADE SHOWS - SUPERCOMM and COMDEX
There was a time not long ago when the "in-the-know" were a special class. Some times they were the Global-Village idiots who saw the Emperor's fine new clothes, sometimes they saw the future coming and rode the wave such as Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, Andy Grove, Motorolla, Optic-fiber, satellites, The Harvard Business School, expensive seminars, esoteric, hermetic, cryptic, hidden, OCCULT dark, mysterious, UNKNOWN expensive knowledge. Now I feel as if anyone can and should know anything - but INFORMATION overload gives more and more people knowledge of less and less. Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson could know everything - Forbes and some of the business publications do a goog job of information transfer of "what is important" and what is noise. It's not and easy job. The word today is "BANDWIDTH"...(Excite Search)

there is also one on Java, internet etc. Maybe a good lead in to the current connections - Supercomm maybe more important that Comex - connections more important than hardware - relationships more important than objects - first
patterns and connections then objects and structure follows. The outside material object is a reflection of its relationships -

NEW YORK (CNNfn) -- Oracle Corp. and Netscape Communications Corp. said Monday they will merge two subsidiaries in an attempt to open up the network computer market. Oracle will bring its Network Computer, Inc. (NCI) unit to the deal while Netscape will offer its Navio Communications, Inc. The combined company will be known as NCI.
Top reasons for installing network computers

"NCI's purpose has been to create a single software
standard for a family of low-cost digital appliances," Oracle chairman
Larry Ellison said today at a press conference here. "The real competition
is Microsoft--other players are not significant in the least."
Microsoft's $425 million acquisition of WebTV Networks April 6 clearly motiviated both companies. WebTV is, so far, the market leader in Internet-enabled set-top boxes.

RE: money available to $2.25 billion per year.
May 14, 1997RE: Office of telecommunications:
The U.S. Federal Government, the states and local government are the largest buyer of telecommunications in the world. The federal agencies spend over 15 billion, with the total public sector purchase of telecommunications exceeding 25 billion per annum.
Public agencies are consumers not only of telephone services, such
as the federal phone system (GSA), but of dedicated networks for hundreds
of civilian and military agencies. ( Social Security, Unemployment, Criminal
Justice, transportation, NSA, DOD logistics, and many such networks reach
into almost every town and village ).
Industry
View
While much of the industry's focus has been on the private sector,
the US Military's ADSL deployments bring to the forefront of our attention
the governmental sector of the US economy, which represents a growing share
of the vast demand for "no-wait" Internet and data access. This lucrative
target market is poised to take advantage of cost-effective Digital Subscriber
Line (DSL) technology in areas where the cost of installing a fiber-optic
data backbone is prohibitive. These successful deployments of a GlobeSpan
CAP- based solution by the US Military represent another confirmation that
CAP ADSL solutions are, in fact, delivering "ready for prime time" services
today.
Check Bandwidth in my.excite.live
for today's action
PROPOSAL: All purchased tele-commutations contracts get a first offer and refusal from the "National Office of Tele- communications", a federal corporation. A central purchasing agency could wholesale services at a discount and provide MUCH higher grade, lower cost services to this vast market worldwide. Part of the saving could be used to support research, the wiring of base schools, and contribute to the educational pool created by the FCC. The agency does NOT provide communications, or set up satellite systems, but buys bandwidth from the private sector. The DEMAND model works butter than direct government construction or operation, notice the FAA. If you have a demand, supply will follow.
The National Telecommunications infrastructure could involve independent "stations" connected to low orbit satellites, cable, or optic fiber that can provide digital television bandwidth capacity. Agencies use this "common carrier" as independent clients using whatever systems and protocols they want. They connect to "stations" by modem, cable, wireless, or optic fiber as they want. Local inter-governmental phone service could be from transponder cells or on traditional local access providers.
The system should be built an order of magnitude bigger than any demand projections. Excess capacity can be sold to state school systems, colleges, local agencies. If current cost can be cut by 1000 % ( from 10 cents a minute or GigByte to .10 or .01 cents ) there is room for charging less than any open market provider and still "making a profit" to invest in advanced systems and international assistance. The standards for wireless transponders, worked out with the European Community will provide the backbone of our information age.
The "system" will provide full video-conference world wide, video e-mail, voice, data, Internet, intranets, extranets, as good as anything in the private sector. It should cost the taxpayer "nothing" over current costs, to provide a contracted common carrier for public agencies.

3/5/97 - News: Technology Vision Pursued With New Urgency

FCC approves plan to wire schools,
libraries:
WASHINGTON - The nation's schools
can get discounts of up to 90% of the cost of connecting classrooms to
the Internet, under a government plan adopted Wednesday.
Build it and they will come! This will be the MOST important change in Public Education, colleges and technical training since the school bus ? The technology of roads and bus created the big school. Wired learning can reverse the trend to small, smart and stable human organizations where doing is learning. Since this money is tied to a revenue stream the passion to micro-manage from Congress and the DOE maybe restrained. They will be a huge free market for wired schools. If we build it then content will follow.. The Network computer with Direct wireless connections offers a technology that schools and teachers can use ( rather than the PC which is too complex )

Galaxy unleashes plume of antimatter
Sci/Tech from CNN and from MSNBC 'Annihilation fountain' found at Milky Way center A huge plume of hot gas has been detected hovering above the Milky Way galaxy, astronomers reported Monday. The "annihilation fountain," spurting up from the center of galaxy, is created when bits of matter and anti-matter meet and destroy each other, the scientists said. Such warring particles were expected on the Milky Way's galactic plain, but never before have been detected hovering above the galaxy.
Push and Pull:
VEGAS-Claiming that the computing world is the midst of a tectonic shift, Marimba Inc. President and CEO Kim Polese
opened NetWorld+Interop today, touting how her company's Castanet architecture can help users manage that change. "The Internet will have the same impact on users that electricity does today," said Polese during her keynote address here. "The Internet is the new computing platform." Polese predicted that the impact of the Internet will far outstrip the gains made by the desktop computing revolution, yet today's application development and distribution model cannot scale to meet the needs of network-centric computing, where applications and content revisions occur in minutes instead of months.(end)
