...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...

Summers milling among the jubilated crowds. No time to consider proper protocol, I went with my instincts and asked him to pose for a celebratory photo. Just another of the vivid memories, the snapshots really, that whether stored away in an album or in tucks and folds of my mind, will help to relive or at least recount my four wonderful years here...
