From Initial CPS615 Course and Parallel Computing Overview CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 86
1 ATM ISDN Wireless Satellite advancing rapidly in commercial arena which is adopting research rapidly
2 Social forces (deregulation in the U.S.A.) are tending to accelerate adoption of digital communication technologies
  • These are often NEW applications (porting of POTS relatively easy!) such as interactive TV/Shopping
  • Tremendous competition between different telecommunication sectors encourages new technology now to ensure future success
3 Not clear how to make money on Web(Internet) but growing interest/acceptance by general public
