...high-speed, high-density video traffic. Now, thanks partly to improved and cheaper chips, they run internally about 30 times faster than in their early days. They also spit bits onto copper five times faster than in the past. That rate will soon double in Europe. Like a pickup truck hauling a few apples, a copper wire actually has lots of empty space. The DSLAM throws in bushels of data and video. "This has been one of the single biggest enhancements to the technology," says Guido Garrone, chief technology officer of Milan-based Internet company FastWeb, which offers...

Designed as a "kit house," it was crafted in a factory owned by Seattle-based Lindal Cedar Homes and shipped to its destination on a truck. Unlike typical Graves houses, which can easily cost $1 million, LaChance and Rice's 2,000-sq.ft. prefabricated abode will be completed for well under $300,000, including the land.
