[Chapter-delegates] Do glance: A Billion Homes towards a gigabit Webinar tomorrow

[Dave Burstein]

Folks -

    Two world class experts will point to the way to affordable Internet
gigabits and the Internet soon to come. Internet Hall of Famers John Cioffi
of Stanford and MIT’s Dave Clark lead a Marconi Society Expertise webinar.
I'm moderating and guarantee it will be lively.

 Thursday May 8 10 a.m. California, 1 p.m. New York, 6 p.m. London

Short presentations and plenty of time for questions. Do join us.

   Cioffi is working on ways to combine advanced DSL and WiFi to
inexpensively deliver hundreds of megabits and even a gigabit. Vectored
DSL, Cioffi’s invention, is now proven to deliver 100 megabits over a short
loop. Gigabit WiFi chips are now shipping. Combine the 10 or 30 WiFis
visible in most urban areas and a gigabit is in reach. He’s CEO of ASSIA,
developing some of the systems needed for this and managing DSL.

   (Marconi fellow Cioffi also will speak at a very strong Upperside event
in Paris May 21-22 on fast DSL. I’ll be speaking as well. Say hello to the
round fellow with a beard.) http://bit.ly/1c8GXwP

   Clark has recently done empirical work on network congestion - or lack
thereof. “Can the Internet keep up with hundreds of gigabits to homes?”
Clark has done seminal work on the design of the future Internet. He was
Chair of what’s now called the Internet Architecture Board.
