Title: First internet broadcast of Yankee baseball game

Description: The first baseball game, that was actually globally broadcast over the internet, this is a call from the play by play of that game. "To the fourth inning of play of Yankee stadium in New York, this is Dave Nehouse along with Jeff Gary and, Rick Rizz our producer engineer Kevin Kremin. Nice to be on the internet around the world to our first broadcast via that marvel and hope that you'll drop us a line and let us know if you enjoyed this first broadcast on the internet. You can write me or any of us listening on the World Wide Web in Australia, Brazil and Germany. Well Dave I know you're sometimes a 20th century man. Kevin, who is a big computer wizard, wanted me to say that folks on the web don't write letters, They don't? It's it's e-mail. It's e-mail? I guess I couldn't even turn on a computer.

Title: Solution for the Problem of Consumer Bandwidth

Description: There is this belief in a lot of quarters that we're going to solve the problem of consumer bandwidth very quickly. I think it's going to take a lot longer than people think. If you actually look at the growth of the web phenomenon it's just been incredible, but we hit a wall associated with the POTS Plain old Telephone system infrastructure of fairly quickly maybe with better modulation techniques we can go from 28.8 to 33.6 or 38 but it's very unlikely your going to get much higher than that until you go to a digital system like ISDN or a new kind of distribution system like cable modems.
