Theoretical limits of fiber optic comms
|
Scientists from Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs have calculated the maximum amount of information that can be transmitted over optical fiber. The Bell Labs team determined that it is theoretically possible to send approximately 100 terabits of information, or roughly 20 billion one-page e-mails, simultaneously per strand of fiber.

Domain name registry
|
New.net (http://www.new.net) is a domain name registry created to meet the market demand for Web addresses. It has expanded the number of domain with: .arts, .school, .church, .love, .golf, .auction, .agent, .llp, .llc and .scifi

Towards a faster Internet
|
A recent discovery by researchers at Bell Labs sheds new light on the nature of Internet traffic and could lead to more efficient routers and other network components. Using sophisticated new software programs to analyze and simulate data traffic in unprecedented detail, the researchers found that the "burstiness" seen in traffic at the edges of the Internet disappears at the core.

Wireless-Internet-On-A-Chip
|
Intel has unveiled an experimental computer chip based on a new process technology that combines the core components of today's cellular phones and handheld computers. This integrated, "wireless-Internet-on-a-chip" technology could enable a new era of wireless Internet-access products with extensive battery life and greater processing power.

Intel and IBM team up for next-generation wireless devices
Intel and IBM have announced that Intel has selected IBM as the premier provider of embedded software for its Intel Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel PCA) for wireless devices and other Internet appliances. The two companies will work together to deliver standards-based hardware and software solutions for next-generation, Internet-ready devices, targeting device manufacturers, application developers and carriers.
IBM will support Intel PCA by porting IBM's WebSphere Everyplace Suite Embedded Edition, which is cross-platform embedded middleware, and tools for devices to the Intel StrongARM processor and future processors based on Intel XScale microarchitecture. Intel will feature and distribute IBM's device middleware with its Intel PCA software developer kit and hardware reference design guide that will be issued to the industry later this year. Embedded middleware manages communications, enables content and service creation and provides secure, reliable transactions between a device and a backend server. Application developers are then free to create compelling applications across multiple devices more rapidly, with fewer bugs and a lower total cost of development.

WSDL goes to W3C
|
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has acknowledged the submission of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) specification. It was submitted jointly by Microsoft, IBM, Allaire, Oracle and VeriSign, amongst others.
WSDL provides an XML grammar for describing the capabilities of a Web Service. WSDL augments SOAP, enabling development tools and other infrastructure to easily integrate by engaging in automated "conversations" with a Web Service. As communications standards emerge in the Web community, it becomes increasingly possible and important to be able to describe the communications in a common, structured way. WSDL addresses that need by defining an XML grammar for describing network services as collections of communication endpoints capable of exchanging messages.
