Secondly, the projected speed capacity the company is touting is 100mb. Again by applying the DFE technology we believe that number could be quadrupled to 400mb or possibly higher. <br/>WHY THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY: DFE’s unique signal process provides a 10x to 100x increase in data rate and bandwidth capacity of existing distribution infrastructures without requiring extensive modifications. <br/>We are capable of encoding and decoding digital bits on an analogue sine wave (the carrier) and WE DO NOT PLACE DATA BITS IN THE SIDEBANDS!<br/>We currently are delivering 32bits per hertz and are working on 64bits and 128bits per hertz. Our signal is NOISE IMMUNE and can recover well into the noise floor. <br/>DFE is a new digital modulation technology, phase distortion modulation that provides increased communications channel capacity/bandwidth, improved noise immunity and enhanced security against interception. DFE is applicable to all wired and wireless networks with a minimal hardware upgrade. <br/>DFE Technology: DFE transmits data by pulse modulating multiple bits onto each cycle of a sine wave carrier. Modulation consists of controlled amplitude perturbations of the carrier, with each perturbation representing one digital bit. Bits are placed within defined phase positions on each carrier cycle. The modulation protocol includes guard bands between bit positions on each carrier cycle. <br/>DATA FLOW ENHANCEMENT is a patented technology; in fact there are a great number of patents nationally and internationally. NONE OF THESE PATENTS HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED TO DATE, NOR HAVE ANY OTHER PATENTS BEEN APPLIED FOR WITH SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY<br/>In conclusion, DFE is a privately held technology. There has been an extensive effort to keep the IP portfolio very pristine in preparation for <br/>licensing opportunities and the development of future technologies. </div><div><span style="border-right: 1px solid silver; margin:0 10px 0 0; padding: 0 5px 0 0; color: #666;"><a id="DiscussionTopic_81299" href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/81299-5251">Comments (9)</a> </span><span id="DiscussionTopicTag_81299"><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?discussionID=7384">Economic Growth, Job Creation & Private Investment</a></span></div><div style="margin-top:3px;" id="DiscussionTopicComment_81299"></div></td></tr></table> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 15:39:27 PDT http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/81299-5251 http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/81297-5251 <table width="100%"> <tr><td width="100" valign="top"> <div align="center"><div style="padding:5px;font-size:2em">1</div><div><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/81297-5251">Vote On Idea</a></div></div> </td><td valign="top"> <div>Bring More Attention To This Site.

'<br/> <br/>Though some communities are currently pursuing the installation of broadband infrastructure, the number of communities and municipalities doing so has greatly diminished in the past ten years.<br/> <br/>Meanwhile, the business at the US Postal Service ten years ago was diminishing. Then, about year 2005, EBay transactions were at an all time high and even the Postmaster General credited EBay with saving the postal system in one of the annual reports. Since the end of 2008, the business at the US Postal Service has greatly diminished in some areas, and some rural postal outlets are being considered or are scheduled for closure. <br/> <br/>With the reduction in property taxes, municipalities, schools and libraries have limited funding to consider the installation of broadband infrastructure at this time.<br/> <br/>However, the brick-and-mortar locations of US Postal Service outlets are distributed in the rural areas. It seems an opportunity to consider the upgrade of these facilities, to achieve the goal of broadband access in the rural communities.<br/> <br/>How this would be implemented seems a rather complex task. However, I believe that with careful consideration, this may be a good opportunity.<br/> <br/>For instance, the rural postal facility could be purely a backhaul hub, where it could then be distributed in the "Main St." area of the town or village. If distributed to a commercial or residential location, a subscription fee could be imposed to support the facility. <br/> <br/>Another instance could be a full service facility, similar to what some public libraries offer, or what a FedEx/Kinkos retail facility offers in the metro areas. In this case, a fee could be requested for one-time or monthly use. <br/> <br/>These are just two ideas which would need further development.<br/> <br/>As a final note, I wrote a suggestion on the US Postal Service website to an address on their Contact page. It was more generalized than the content in this email.<br/> <br/>This is just a thought that crossed my mind a few weeks ago, and wanted to pass along.<br/> <br/>Thanks for the opportunity.<br/> <br/>Sincerely,<br/> <br/>Samuel V.

The cable provider is actually originating the primary broadcast for these channels thereby making a retransmit fee not necessary.<br/>Local networks broadcasting to the community would certainly qualify to collect a retransmit fee from the cable provider, however I feel that this practice should stop.<br/>It is only a benefit to the local network to be included on the cable provider's channel lineup. Without this inclusion, the viewership for these local broadcasters would be diminished and ad rates would suffer.<br/>As the local stations benefit from inclusion, so do the cable channels. Without the cable provider broadcasting their signals, the cable channels have nothing, no audience, no ad revenue. Their channel would not exist if not for the cable provider.<br/><br/>These retransmit fees should all be done away with, as the consumer is ultimately the one who pays and they have no say in the matter.<br/><br/>If the retransmit fees can not be done away with, then, Alacarte Cable would eliminate the problems of networks fighting over fees with cable providers.<br/>Alacarte cable puts the consumer in control and makes the network have to ask the consumer to pay more for the channel in these fee fights. In fact, the channel is less likely to ask for an increase because it is much more transparent and they don't want to look bad in the eyes of their viewership.<br/>Alacarte cable would also likely have an effect of reducing or eliminating the retransmit fees, as channels drop/lower them to attract more viewers. If a channel doesn't drop or lower their fee, then the consumer can choose to pay it or drop the channel.<br/>Once the consumer can pick and choose which channels they want, the cable provider is just a utility, acting as a middle man for the networks. The consumer has the power and the channels have to compete. </div><div><span style="border-right: 1px solid silver; margin:0 10px 0 0; padding: 0 5px 0 0; color: #666;"><a id="DiscussionTopic_30916" href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30916-5251">Comments (1)</a> </span><span id="DiscussionTopicTag_30916"><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?discussionID=11271">Broadband Framework</a></span></div><div style="margin-top:3px;" id="DiscussionTopicComment_30916"></div></td></tr></table> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:09:32 PDT http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30916-5251 http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30596-5251 <table width="100%"> <tr><td width="100" valign="top"> <div align="center"><div style="padding:5px;font-size:2em">0</div><div><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30596-5251">Vote On Idea</a></div></div> </td><td valign="top"> <div>Dear Sir<br/><br/>Subject mater all our the World facing Energy problem So I am try to explain a idea for Old & New Dams / Reservoirs Hydel Civil Design can move in architectural Transition to increase our energy potential Because we are losing heavy quantum of already storage water in our Big Dams to generate past technology now need to convert into New theory of Technology. <br/><br/>Thanks.<br/><br/>with best regards. </div><div><span style="border-right: 1px solid silver; margin:0 10px 0 0; padding: 0 5px 0 0; color: #666;"><a id="DiscussionTopic_30596" href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30596-5251">Comments (1)</a> </span><span id="DiscussionTopicTag_30596"><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?discussionID=7377">International Lessons</a></span></div><div style="margin-top:3px;" id="DiscussionTopicComment_30596"></div></td></tr></table> Sat, 12 Mar 2011 20:58:43 PST http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30596-5251 http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30595-5251 <table width="100%"> <tr><td width="100" valign="top"> <div align="center"><div style="padding:5px;font-size:2em">0</div><div><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30595-5251">Vote On Idea</a></div></div> </td><td valign="top"> <div>it is to be need that the consideration of Past,Present and Future criteria must be share in making reforms into education sector for policy making steps. </div><div><span style="border-right: 1px solid silver; margin:0 10px 0 0; padding: 0 5px 0 0; color: #666;"><a id="DiscussionTopic_30595" href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30595-5251">Comments (0)</a> </span><span id="DiscussionTopicTag_30595"><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?discussionID=7381">Education</a></span></div><div style="margin-top:3px;" id="DiscussionTopicComment_30595"></div></td></tr></table> Sat, 12 Mar 2011 20:55:38 PST http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30595-5251 http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30570-5251 <table width="100%"> <tr><td width="100" valign="top"> <div align="center"><div style="padding:5px;font-size:2em">0</div><div><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/30570-5251">Vote On Idea</a></div></div> </td><td valign="top"> <div>Since there were no pending ideas, I created this one.

Meanwhile the local telephone company apparently has no intention of extending DSL to some areas with houses even a few hundred feet apart even if it receives stimulus money. It disadvantages children, home businesses and takes away value from homes. Who would want to buy a house where there is no broadband when you can buy a similar house a couple of miles away with broadband? Grants should only be given to ensure every home and business in America has broadband access before other grants are made. And carriers with monopoly service territories should not be able to sell discount packages until they can offer it call. That should apply to cable and phone companies. </div><div><span style="border-right: 1px solid silver; margin:0 10px 0 0; padding: 0 5px 0 0; color: #666;"><a id="DiscussionTopic_26599" href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26599-5251">Comments (0)</a> </span><span id="DiscussionTopicTag_26599"><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?discussionID=11271">Broadband Framework</a></span></div><div style="margin-top:3px;" id="DiscussionTopicComment_26599"></div></td></tr></table> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:08:21 PDT http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26599-5251 http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26461-5251 <table width="100%"> <tr><td width="100" valign="top"> <div align="center"><div style="padding:5px;font-size:2em">1</div><div><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26461-5251">Vote On Idea</a></div></div> </td><td valign="top"> <div>why is the U.S. behind on broadband speed of mere 10-15 mbps? we should be competing with Korea Japan and Frank with 50-100+ mbps! and at low costs!!! </div><div><span style="border-right: 1px solid silver; margin:0 10px 0 0; padding: 0 5px 0 0; color: #666;"><a id="DiscussionTopic_26461" href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26461-5251">Comments (1)</a> </span><span id="DiscussionTopicTag_26461"><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?discussionID=7388">Broadband Consumer Context</a></span></div><div style="margin-top:3px;" id="DiscussionTopicComment_26461"></div></td></tr></table> Wed, 18 Aug 2010 18:45:20 PDT http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26461-5251 http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26442-5251 <table width="100%"> <tr><td width="100" valign="top"> <div align="center"><div style="padding:5px;font-size:2em">1</div><div><a href="http://broadband.ideascale.com/a/dtd/26442-5251">Vote On Idea</a></div></div> </td><td valign="top"> <div>Suggest you do this: Michael J Copps on Google Verizon deal: "Some will claim this announcement moves the discussion forward.
