Internet Choir & Broadband Speed
Date: Oct.24th.2007
BBC broadcaster Simon Cox finds out how modern technology touches people's lives.
Dr
Barry Cheetham from
The School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester
has a dream. He
plans to create a pan-European choir who will one day be able
to perform together online. But at present, the
delays inherent in sending any kind of information over the
internet are just too great for that to be possible. Barry
explains his hopes for low-delay networks on Radio 4's 'Click
On' programme, and technology journalist Rupert Goodwins discusses
the various types of broadband connection currently available,
asking what high-speed internet access could mean for home
users.
