Is 4g really faster?

Sprint is the first provider to provide 4G telephone. According to Sprint, the 4 g phones are supposed to be able to download data 10 times faster than 3g phones, at around the speed of 10 Mbps (megabits per second), with average downloads of three to six Mbps.

Verizon is due to un-roll its 4 g service in the fourth quarter of this year.

A closer look at the numbers, however, reveals that 4G speeds may vary. Sprint says that 4G can be 10 times faster than 3G. But read the fine print in Sprint’s promotional material: Sprint bases this claim on speed comparison between 3G’s low-end 600 kilobits per second (Kbps) vs. 4G’s max 6Mbps. Sprint notes that 3G can reach 1.7 Mbps, while 4G may drop down to 3 Mbps. So that’s less than twice as fast. We will know more specifics about Verizon’s network in the weeks ahead as it rolls out its service.

According to Google, over 1 million calls were placed from Gmail in just 24 hours of its launch. For comparison, there are somewhat more than 300 million people in the United States. If the average person makes 10 calls per day–research in 2008 put the number at 208 calls per month–that means about one out of every 3,000 calls in the U.S. went through the service on its first day.

The service lets Gmail users make free calls to U.S. and Canada and inexpensive calls to phones in other countries. It uses Gmail as an interface and optionally can integrate with Google Voice to receive calls as well.

That is pretty amazing and just shows how many using or have gmail.

The Apple iPad made its international debut on Friday. In Tokyo, some 1,200 people lined up to get the opportunity to purchase one/

In Australia, hundreds lined up outside on the first day of sale. In Europe, the same could be said. In London, the demand was strong.

This all bodes well for Apple which overtook Microsoft as the largest technology company in the world.

However, on Tuesday, Dell unveiled its Streak tablet computer, which can double as a mobile phone and will have a front-facing camera for videoconferencing. Sony said on Thursday it would launch an e-reader in Japan by the end of the year.

So for the moment, Apple might be on top of the hill but there are others coming after them.

Not Enough Addresses

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 15:30:06 +0000

Internet experts warn that we will be running out of Internet address towards the end of 2011. When the Internet was first created, there were only four billion ip address allotted based on a 4 (IPv4) format. With the pontification of smarphones, cell phones, and online gadgets, the number of available ip addresses is running out.

The solution is to switch to a IPv6 format but everyone has to switch to it. There are also new hardware and systems that have to be converted to make the changes. The problems is that not everyone is moving quickly to make the switch. So until every company and businesses makes the change, under the current system, we will run out of ip addresses in the near future.

Don’t worry this does not however concern the domain name sector.
