The article talks about the cable modem and DSL. The problem may not always be with the rate of connection to the Internet it could be with the net itself. It gives the example of a large number of people downloading information of a site at the same time will cause a slower processing time regardless of the type of connection you may have. The solution is a way of passing web site information from servers to satellites that then pass the information to other servers this will allow users to download information at a much faster rate. They also mention the idea of housing site information on multiple servers so that users will be downloading from the server closes to them.

I think this is great especially since e-commerce is the future. It will allow you to download and pass information a rate that will keep you going instead of making you so mad that you just log off. It will be a major part of how we further the e-commerce paradigm shift in business.

I agreed with the article completely. I know for me as a Netizen I get tired of waiting for content to load and I will exit that site in a heartbeat and in some cases steer clear of it if it is at all possible.

I it a issue of connectivity, data, voice, and image transfer rates all related to this course.
