Panasonic and Verizon: Full HD 3D Video Over Verizon's FiOS
Full-resolution high-definition 3D transmission via a premium TV service provider became a reality at this year's 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show. Verizon and Panasonic, a leader in Full HD 3D technology, are streaming Full HD 3D, currently the highest-possible resolution of 3D video, via Verizon's 100 percent fiber-optic FiOS TV service.
Full HD 3D transmissions preserve the complete 1080p picture resolution that consumers have come to expect from their HDTVs. Other solutions degrade the 3D image, typically reducing resolution by half. In a demonstration at the Verizon-sponsored Blogger Lounge, FiOS engineers showed a selection of 3D content streaming to a Panasonic Full HD Blu-ray 3D Disc™ player at a bit rate of up to 18 Mbps (megabits per second) -- double the bit rate currently used by most cable providers.
Ipoque and Net Neutrality in Europe
Compared with the US – they are still in the middle of the net neutrality debate – Europe managed to find an acceptable compromise within a few months.
With the United States in mind, we were expecting an endless debate and this is why we participated in the net neutrality discussion from the beginning (see blog posts). Over a year ago we made our point very clear with our white paper. We made net neutrality the topic of our sessions and speeches at several conferences. And we published OpenDPI to show everybody how DPI works and that transparency is doable – even for a network equipment vendor. Now it’s the operators’ responsibility to be as transparent as possible. This was the obvious solution from the beginning, but long time it seemed that there would be no consensus among net neutrality activists, technology vendors and operators.

According to the Wall Street Journal, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has undertaken new steps to protect internet neutrality, another chapter for the concept in a somewhat tumultuous relationship with the agency.
Net neutrality is the idea that all traffic over internet connections should be treated equally. Internet services providers (ISPs) have vigorously fought against the concept, now warning in the wake of the FCC’s mood on the topic to lower investment in new internet fiber. It is their largest threat against what they view to be government meddling.
This news comes as a victory for internet customers and internet companies, both of which have been advocates of net neutrality. Consumers want to use their connections exactly as they see fit, and internet companies want to make sure that they get the same crack at the ball as anyone else. According to the story, some of the rules used to regulate phone lines will be applied to the internet.
The Hill reports that tomorrow the FCC will announce its plans to move in new a direction, a “third way.” The goal will be to “fulfill the previously stated agenda of extending broadband to all Americans, protecting consumers, ensuring fair competition, and preserving a free and open Internet.”
