Broadband - Going Underground, Broadband Through Sewers

You know what it's like, another day, another commute to work, another set of roadworks somewhere along the way. Chances are they're probably working on the telecoms cables beneath the surface.

However, the idea of running a fibre-optic network beneath the surface could soon come into practice.

Fibre-optic cables transmit data using light pulses down glass or plastic fibres - which are not prone to outside interference, and could therefore help deliver ultra-fast broadband across the UK.

Such cabling networks are already being implemented in Japan, but also in some cities - such as Paris - making use of vast sewer systems in order to deliver high-speed broadband connections through fibre-optic cabling to homes and businesses.

With a sewer network of over 360,000 miles existing in the UK, the idea of threading cables through underground pipes in order to help deliver high-speed broadband services may sound far-fetched, but it could soon become a reality.

A networking firm in Wales are currently in talks with several councils about the possibility of laying fibre-optic cables - which could potentially lead to faster broadband services becoming available, whilst eliminating the need to spend time and money digging up the roads.

Universities in Aberdeen, Bournemouth and Bath have been used to trial such methods of cabling on a small scale. However the firm have been negotiating with councils and water boards to try and strike a deal which could see fibre-optic cabling being laid over wider areas.

Cables would lie up to five metres below the surface, and as fibre optic cabling is believed to be less prone to erosion and rust, it could prove to be the next phase in delivering ultra-fast broadband connections across the UK.

With more of us running a speed test on our broadband connection - and becoming increasingly frustrated with the results we get back, could a new system of networking help to speed up the broadband infrastructure and give businesses and gamers alike the bandwidth they've been craving for what seems like years now?

The Internet Is Blooming With New Social Media And Internet Social Clubs

There are 6.7 billion people swimming around in this great big fish bowl we call planet Earth. The world is a very big place... With, so many people buzzing around each other everyday, one would think we would never get lonely, or need to look outside our own backyards to find interesting people, just like ourselves. Yet, for so many people, finding just that right person, group, or network really isn't that easy. On the other hand, for some, it is that easy; however, they choose to look way beyond the next horizon to find interesting people to socialize with, or interesting places to visit. It is for this reason that the Internet is blooming with new, penpal websites, Social Media sites, and Internet Social Clubs worth checking out.

There five million penpal listings on Yahoo, and well over six-million Internet social clubs listed on Google. there is another 519,000 international Internet social clubs listed on the World-Wide-Web.

Of course, we are all familiar with some of the giants in the industry, such as MySpace, Facebook, and Flicker. Oh, I could go on and on; however, I think you get my drift. What it all seems to boil down to is this; people, like you and me are trying to make our world a smaller place, in which to connect and socialize with people.

The thing is; though, the big guys in the social-media arena are just that, big and getting bigger. The bigger they get, it seems the harder it is to meet new and interesting people. Oh, sure these sites have become great for social marketing and mass networking, but for those of us looking to meet people to socialize with, either one on one, or in groups, it can be overwhelming. It's getting harder and harder to meet quality people. I have to admit, there are times, when on giant social media websites, I feel like a little kid in the background at a large party, waving my hands, and shouting. " Look at me! Look at me!" while the world just passes me by.

So, yearning to make a few new, good friends, I decided to do a little surfing to see what else was going on in the penpal or Internet social club arena. I'm glad I did. I found what I was searching for, this new international penpal Internet social club website, It has only been up and running a short while, but it's really cool with great people, from all over the world as members. As a new site, it's still fresh and not over-crowed, so it is much easier to meet people and to socialize. While I was there, I met 19 people in all, from all over the globe. I also checked out an awesome group about motorcycling, played a few games, and checked out a lot of really great pictures. The best thing I liked about the site was that it was free to join and become a member.

So, if you are like me, tired of looking for people to meet; if you're just not having any luck hanging around your space, do a little surfing and find some place not quite as big and crowed. Find a place where you will fit in and meet great people and friends. Who knows, you may even find the love of your life.
