...over the world, and in sending up geostationary satellites to rest above sub-Saharan Africa and beam Internet access (albeit at high cost) to Internet cafes in developing countries. And digitized voice itself is efficient: A standard telephone Internet connection over the same wire that carries a single analog conversation can carry five or six equivalent digital conversations with minimal perceived signal degradation...
When playing or performing, the band switches around not only people but instruments—they all play one or more of the following: keyboard harmonica, megaphone, Reason 2.5 (beat synthesizer), keyboard, analog flute, mandolin, guitar, bass and assorted electronic sounds.
