...deploying an Internet Protocol system that allows it to send video and data over a dedicated high-speed line--the same kind most companies use for Internet service. IP videoconferencing hasn't taken off yet because the bandwidth required to transmit streaming video would incapacitate most office networks. But once corporations have all the bandwidth they need, experts say, all videoconferencing will be done using IP. When videoconferencing gets to that level, "it will be operating on an easier platform," says Lou Gellos, spokesman for Terabeam, a Seattle-based firm that markets laser transmitters that can send...
...IP will also take videoconferencing out of the conference room, eliminating the need to schedule meeting time and reserve equipment. Polycom is working on a Web Office system, scheduled to debut within two years, that aims to improve the discontinuous picture grabs that now qualify as person-to-person Internet video calling. Ideally, most workers would eventually have a camera attached to their desktop or laptop computer, loaded with software that allows streaming-video calls to anyone, anywhere, at any time, without having to pay long-distance phone charges. When that happens, the travel industry may have even more cause...
...course, owners of intellectual property have always wanted to do just this—look at the silly warnings on the inside of paperbacks that urge you not to give the book to a friend. Nevertheless, until very recently, there was no practical way for owners of IP to prevent their users from sharing content. Now, everything is changing. As former Harvard Law School Professor Lawrence Lessig has written in Code: And Other Laws of Cyberspace, on the Internet, owners of intellectual property can enforce their one-user, one-payment dreams. They can architect the format and means of downloading...
...subscription of $10-$20 per month for unlimited and unhindered access to music, movie and other entertainment files—a model which would still guarantee monstrous profits—I can see no moral problem with downloading files through post-Napster tools like Gnutella and Morpheus. Owners of IP must recognize that marginal pricing should only reflect marginal cost. Until then, the only way to express our dissatisfaction is to refuse to participate in this new, awful model. So steal this column...
According to Jinger Zhao ’04, projects coordinator of the Harvard Computer Society, each computer on a network has its own unique IP number. When a computer seeks to download a file from another computer, it sends a request from its IP address. The IP address of the computer from which it seeks to download can also be tracked...
