Comcast plans >100 Mbit/s residential access by: all digital delivery switched digital video bandwidth reclamation implementing MPEG-4 compression Demos 150 Mbps Technology is based on the developing DOCSIS3.0 standard. Demonstrated at the May 14, 2007 Cable Show in Las Vegas. “ The Associated Press described a demo in which a 30-second, 300MB television commercial was downloaded in a few seconds, while a standard cable modem took 16 minutes”. “ Also downloaded, in less than four minutes, was the full 32-volume Encyclopedia Britannica 2007 and Merriam-Webster’s visual dictionary. With a standard cable modem, that download would have taken three hours and 12 minutes (dialup would have taken 2 weeks)”. “ Comcast is expected to begin trials using the new technology later this year. In one trial, the cable operator will set up an IP video headend to experiment with carrying voice, video and data over a single IP connection”. Bandwidth Tomorrow….

22. Aggregators An aggregator or news aggregator is client software that uses a web feed to retrieve syndicated web content such as weblogs, podcasts, vlogs, and mainstream mass media websites. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_aggregator

23. RSS RSS (RDF Site Summary - formerly called Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a method of describing news or other Web content that is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication ) from an online publisher to Web users. RSS is an application of the Extensible Markup Language ( XML ) that adheres to the World Wide Web Consortium's Resource Description Framework ( RDF ). Originally developed by Netscape for its browser's Netcenter channels, the RSS specification is now available for anyone to use. A Web site that wants to "publish" some of its content, such as news headlines or stories, creates a description of the content and specifically where the content is on its site in the form of an RSS document. The publishing site then registers its RSS document with one of several existing directories of RSS publishers. A user with a Web browser or a special program that can read RSS-distributed content can read periodically-provided distributions. Some current directories of RSS files include Meerkat, GropSoup, NewsIsFree, UserLand, and XML Tree; these sites are sometimes known as content aggregators. Web based aggregators include My Yahoo! and Google Reader. News is only one form of content that can be distributed with an RSS feed. Other possibilities include discussion forum excerpts, software announcements, and any form of content retrievable with a URL.
