Never got into this page!

(July 2003) It's staggering the number of articles I've just removed because the sites are dead, the innovators history or swallowed by bigger fish!

It's possible I might return to the whole broadband section another year, but for now this will remain a dated page.

Here's a few newsbyte from 1999 I've left in for posterity

From: Intel's Mark Peden

Europe Online Networks will launch a consumer "Internet in the Sky" service next month using two leased transponders on the ASTRA Satellite System. The satellite footprint covers all of Western Europe. The downstream service will use satellite PC cards or Internet-ready digital set top boxes connected to small ASTRA dishes. Upstream paths will require a modem, ISDN or similar return channel connection. The DVB/MPEG 2 compatible reception also provides access to more than 100 digital TV channels. Europe Online is recruiting ISP partners. The Astra satellite system transmits analog and digital television and radio signals to over 27 million satellite dishes and 44 million broadband cable connections throughout Europe.

Ambient Corporation and ITRAN Communications Ltd. of Israel signed an agreement to develop a system that will allow Internet access through power lines. This cutting edge system will allow feeding Internet data at utility substations, sending data over power distribution lines and bridge between high voltage distribution lines, and local low voltage power lines. End users will benefit by not tying up their phone lines, and avoid phone charges for Internet access.
