GK3 Video: Alcatel-Lucent and Intel to Collaborate on Developing World Issues
04:06 | 
Broadband access for the developing world was a key topic at the Third Global Knowledge Conference, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in December 2007. Attendees there called for action items to to bring underdeveloped nations - including populations sometimes referred to as “the next billion” - into the connected world. Broadband services are an important component in the United Nation’s Millenium Development Goals and have been identified as essential for social and economic development. Without broadband, PCs are useless. Without PCs, broadband is less needed. In this video podcast: broadband provider Alcatel-Lucent and chipmaker Intel forge a partnership at the GK3 Conference to help bring connectivity and PCs to the developing world.

It seems to be that you want a “seamless” integration of broadband. That is a lofty goal. I would like to point out that the bandwidth used for one single voice transmission can hold over 1000 data streams. It is old technology but it works.
I plan on making it global by the time I turn 60. I’m 52 now.

Please stay tuned…
I will continue to monitor you. The infrastructure is too
expensive to impliment and maintain. The software is the problem, not the hardware.
Firmware cures it. People must be free to walk and talk without a tether. They all seem like robots. I will have a new system in place soon.
