Cable Modem Inventor Sees 1Gbps Future

Rouzbeh Yassini, inventor of the cable modem, speaks with Multichannel News about the future of cable bandwidth. The first cable modems ran at speeds of 100 Kbps or less, and the latest DOCSIS 3.0 modems are capable of speeds of 160Mbps downstream and 120Mbps up -- but Yassini is already anticipating 1Gbps connectivity. Outside of running a CAD/CAM office out of your home, he struggles to come up with interesting consumer uses for that kind of bandwidth. On Internet TV challenging cable TV: "Remember, cable operators are very smart -- content is king -- if it comes through the Internet, you’re going to pay. Which pipe you use doesn’t matter."

New Generator Boosts Wind Turbine Efficiency 50%

MagnetDroid writes "A startup company based in Vancouver has developed a new kind of generator that could harvest much more energy from the wind. The design could not only lower the cost of wind turbines but increase their power output by 50 percent to as much as 100 percent, in some locations. Normally, when wind speeds drop, a turbine's engine becomes less efficient. The new engine, from ExRo Technologies, runs efficiently over a wider range of conditions. The design replaces a mechanical transmission with what amounts to an electronic one. Magnets attached to a rotating shaft create a current, but individual coils can be turned on and off electronically at different wind speeds." The company will begin field-testing a small, 5KW wind turbine by early next year.

Commerzbank speeds up takeover of Dresdner Bank

FRANKFURT (Agencies): Germany's second biggest bank, Commerzbank, says it will take control of Dresdner Bank sooner than planned and for less than expected so as to integrate it more quickly against a backdrop of volatile financial markets. The acquisition of Dresdner from insurance giant Allianz will be made at a sharply lower price, and finalised in January, rather than in the second half of the year, Commerzbank said in a statement late Thursday. "Commerzbank will achieve 100 percent of Dresdner Bank a lot earlier than originally assumed," it said. Commerzbank already owns 60 percent of Dresdner and it will pay some three billion euros (3.9 billion dollars) in cash plus Commerzbank shares and the online brokerage comdirect for the remainder.
