Meiri hraði á koparnum


29-year-old Australian researcher Dr. John Papandriopoulos has developed an algorithm that has the promise of upping ADSL connections from 1-20Mbps to 100Mbps by reducing electromagnetic interference. He moves to Silicon Valley in two weeks.

John Cioffi, an engineering professor at Stanford and known as the "father of DSL" by some, has offered him a job at his tech startup, ASSIA, where optimizing DSL networks is their focus. His school is trying to find a vendor to implement his work.

Although others are researching similar ways to reduce crosstalk, his approach allows for easier implementation. ISPs worldwide could roll out products in 2-3 years using his algorithm if he can get equipment vendors licensed to use it.
