Don dial-up and wireless networks already use some compression technology?
Dial-up networks offer some generic compression technology that is essentially built in to modems (V.42 compression). The 56kbps dial-up speed performance experienced by dial-up users, as slow as it is, is the result of this applied modem compression technology. For wireless networks, PPP compression technology is built into networking products, but like the 56kbps modems, the wireless speeds experienced by users, already includes the limited benefits of this compression technology, leaving much more to be gained via advanced approaches such as ICT’s.
