Silicon chip speeds will go on doubling every 18 months and digital bandwidth, depending on who you talk to, every 3 months to 12 months.
The rollout of digital bandwidth is speeding along even faster.
The next 20 years will deliver an explosion of tiny computers and digital bandwidth, serving up information that will turn every market global and instantaneous and every industry on its rear end.
The digital-bandwidth tornado is likely to remake the landscape far more quickly and rudely than Moore's Law did.
The digital-bandwidth age screams at us: Grow as fast as the underlying technology allows, or get run over.
The idea here is that IDT's switches will offload tasks that take up a lot of bandwidth from the digital signal processors, thus improving bandwidth performance by up to 20%.
The VX2258wm features full HD resolution at 1080p, as well as compatibility with any device supporting the High Bandwidth Digital Protection (HBDP) copy protection system.
ENGADGET: Viewsonic VX2258wm 22-inch multitouch display hits stores in Europe
The Internet tilts the tables in favor of digital processing power, bandwidth and software products that scale.
So far 67% of Comcast customers have yet to switch from analog, which consumes up to 12 times the bandwidth of digital.
Millions of cable customers have only the most basic service, sometimes with boxes that receive only traditional analog signals, which take up far more bandwidth than digital signals.
Christie's bandwidth-intensive digital imaging group was also on its own LAN.
Double your wager with digital communications -- Big Bandwidth, recently let loose from its copper cage and regulatory jail, is racing ahead even faster than chips.
Their phones are half the weight, have four times the bandwidth and are all digital, while most U.S. mobile phones are still stuck in the analog age.
Digital cameras are a handy way to quickly put photos on to Internet sites or to share pictures of the grandkids with grandma, but high-resolution digital images eat a lot of bandwidth when they're sent over the Internet and can slow down transfer rates.
She said the FCC has found that "virtually all cable operators" ultimately will have all-digital systems, which would free up bandwidth.
One opportunity that will present itself in many countries is the migration from analogue to digital television, which will reduce the bandwidth needed for traditional free-to-air broadcasters.
Those fast lines and digital connections allow cable vendors to offer bandwidth-intensive, interactive services that satellite vendors like Echostar Communications (nasdaq: DISH - news - people ) and DirecTV can't.
With ever-greater precision (processing speed) and transportability (bandwidth), the triumph of digital was complete.
There are, of course, other arguments for each of the technologies (e.g. bandwidth, remote cameras, matching digital TVs, etc.), and, like any good format war, proponents on each side view their side as the only side.
ENGADGET: The Clicker -- Why are there 18 standards for HDTV?
By moving everyone to the more efficient digital system, the government hopes to free up additional bandwidth space for public safety awareness programs and advanced wireless use.
And, because the digital signal occupies only 65% of the excess allotted bandwidth, stations can use the leftover spectrum to transmit text information like the artist's name, song title or more advertising.
His work in this area would outline many of the fundamental principles required for digital communications, especially in regard to required sample rates and bandwidth limitations, and build upon previous ideas, like Time Division Multiplexing and early facsimile machines.
Digital compression will allow television companies to squeeze more channels into the same bandwidth.
Mr. CLELAND: And that's--when you go digital and when you're over the Internet and you have enough reliable bandwidth, you can get very high quality.
At stake is a premium slice of 700 MHz bandwidth that is being freed up as analog TV stations transition to a digital format.
What is more, the remaining satellite companies will get more bandwidth to offer new services, which should boost their ability to compete with the digital cable that is now being rolled out across America.
