Cerf has been working with NASA since 1998 to develop DTN as a way to overcome limitations in the TCP/IP protocol when fast, one-to-one communications aren’t possible, especially over long distances. NASA has already show DTN to be effective for communications between Earth-based networks and outposts in deep space. Can the protocol greatly increase the coverage and service reliability of our mobile networks and devices?

One of the paper's Posterous-based efforts has sports pictures from major events, such as this football season's Vikings-Packers games, several Twins playoff games, Gophers football at the U's impressive new stadium, and the Twin Cities Marathon. [if media organizations knew how easy Posterous is, they'd be falling all over it]

"Great question! Here's what I wrote to Matt via email: Not everything closes, but most of the non-hotel destination restaurants close, and it's surprising how many of the cafes close, too - I think more so than in the US. (Starbucks may be open on Notre Dame and Square Jacques Cartier) This includes chains, too. I wouldn't say every place closes, but over the years, finding food for lunch and dinner has been a chore. As for other stuff, yeah most attractions close on Christmas Day and the first half of Boxing Day. One thing we've done is take a walk up Mont Royal on Christmas Day if it's not too cold. There are lots of Montrealers out walking and sledding, it's a brisk walk that's not steep, and the belvedere that overlooks the city has a mini cafe that sells hot chocolate and stuff. One year we bought bread and cheese the day before and made lunch with it - Quebec has great cheese. The auberge we stay at has a good breakfast which helps too and then try to find something good for..."

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP). Other feasible application examples include video conferencing, streaming multimedia distribution, instant messaging, presence information and online games. The protocol can be used for creating, modifying and terminating two-party (unicast) or multiparty (multicast) sessions consisting of one or several media streams. The modification can involve changing addresses or ports, inviting more participants, adding or deleting media streams, etc.

measuring consumption used by my computer isn’t very helpful since I also stream a lot of content to a Roku set-top box inside my home, especially MLB.tv. There’s also game consoles, iPod touches and phones sucking up my home bandwidth. Meanwhile, all the extra consumption has led to a median use of 2-4 GB a month inside Comcast homes and a more representative consumption of 11.4 GB a month, on average, worldwide, according to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index figures released last week.

A lot of us who have worked on the web a long time believe that the section front has become an irrelevant part of the web navigation scheme. You have a home page and you have articles, and 99 percent of your traffic is going to head to one of those two forms. If you're trying to build traffic to the Guardian in America, you're better off putting your stories on Twitter and posting them on Digg and Facebook and pitching them to blogs that can move a lot of traffic, than posting them on a section front that's getting no traffic anyway. One of the things I pushed for was that you have to get away from the idea of getting people to simply come to your home page. You have to get your home page to the people.

Based on Cisco’s findings that global average broadband consumption on wired networks was 11.4GB per month, the U.S. would need at least 120 MHz per carrier to fulfill that demand on the current generation wireless networks, Peter Rysavy, a wireless consultant with Rysavy Research, told me in an email a few days ago. Currently most carriers in large markets have about 100 MHz. The U.S. has about 50 MHz in the pipeline and 409.5 MHz of spectrum currently assigned for commercial wireless use, according to the CTIA. The CTIA filed a report with the FCC on Friday asking for it to release a total of 800 MHz for mobile broadband.

James is a Traffic Management Coordinator at the Philadelphia International Airport Control Tower. He said: My job is to reduce departure delays and to maintain an efficient flow of air traffic into and out of the Philadelphia International Airport. Currently we utilize a Google Spreadsheet to share real-time departure and weather issues, airport construction updates, and snow removal operations with the airlines and other interested parties. I'm excited at the prospect of being able to embed real-time weather radar gadgets to provide users an up-to-the-minute graphical look at the weather. We currently use the chat feature on Google Spreadsheets but it appears that the more robust communication capabilities in Wave would greatly enhance our communication with the airlines.
