Powering Telstra's Broadband and Multimedia Services

چکیده
The information super-highway is here, technically at least, fulfilling the predictions of the prophets of the Information Age back in the late 1970s. The convergence of voice, data, and video using broadband network capabilities promises rapid growth in multimedia communications. Multimedia services are likely to grow rapidly as both hardware and software advances are combined with new applications. The range of possible services using a broadband (super-highway) network extends from present day services such as telephone, modem, facsimile, ISDN, radio and PayTV, to new interactive and entertainment services.
