   my download time for 100 pages online book (1 Mb) is only 1 second
through
10 mbs cable modem.  8 mbps ASDL modem that use copper tel. wire is
deploying
in mass scale by Telephone companies.   This fast connection will change
many thing dramatically.

The most people are not realized this revolutionary change. fiber optic
line was installed on curve of apartment in Fremont, CA. That is 1 Gbps
connection and will come to my computer next step. It is like 1 hour
movie (1 gb) to come a second for download time.   31" computer monitor
and surrounding system gave me more compelling experience than TV.  10
million web channels than 50.  I can buy digital producys like music,
books at 10 times cheaper and physical  products at half price from
factory without wholesale, retailor.   That will be powerful impact.

so many good multimedia reading books are on the net for free because
they are making money by advertisement.  That is why we launched world
story network at http://worldstorynetwork.com  to give revenue making
opportuinties to online writers
and give readers to have million pages of choice at free or minimal-few
cents expenses.

I am observing people's behaviour of how this fast, wide and deep
information driven internet give impact to average people's life
economically, socially and politically.

I realized people to do less work and more entertaining and educating
themself.
the creative works can be transmitted to mass audience fast through
Internet.

I have web site that 100 most visited place in the world out of 10
million web sites.
My 500 pages of idea that published on web site was transmitted to my
partners, members and visitors in a week without expenses. i used to
spend hundred thousands' dollars to reach TV audience when I sold TV
informercial products.   Now Internet gave me almoust zero risk.
 
many companies including Sun Micro are developing java chip cost 20
dollars,
it will be in any equipment including car, houseware, flexible e book,
and network
with 2 billion pages of internet global information in next 5 years.
you can read the detail at http://iplex.com/plex/what how fast this will
be 
happend..
  
  change is so fast in this info. superhighway. there will be winner,
survivor or roadkilled.   We have to fomulate system to save roadkilled
who want to keep old middleman system..
