Broadband Technology and Imaging: To the Really Robust Web

BROADBAND
TECHNOLOGY AND IMAGING:
TO THE REALLY ROBUST WEB
By B. Mazor
January 2002
The emerging picture of the technology for delivering a more generally useful broadband, robust, image-enabled Web—able to move streaming video, complex 3-D graphics into everyday business and consumer and educational/scientific applications—is one in which video and even interactive imagery from deep databases can flow from servers out across enterprise networks and between them, from intranets to extranets, through the Net, and to any number of end-use devices: desktops, hand-helds, wireless phones and more. The imaging industry, which has long worked to provide ways to handle the size and flow of these digital images, share them, find them, and exploit them, certainly anticipates the chance to see the results on a practical and bottom-line basis. So with that as our subject for the first roundtable discussion of this new year, we've turned to some pros working on these issues every day.
