Thanks to all those who did the little audio codec test earlier. Feedback so far is about what I expected, but other opinions are appreciated especially from folks using modems in rural places. I had to simulate that using a GPRS card. As a little thank you http://www.r2.co.nz/20040719/ Please note I put approximate costs for traffic alongside each link - you *have* been warned. rich

Hi there, I'm testing some audio codecs for suitability in places with very slow links - such as pacific Island, Asia and Rural NZ. Unfortunately I only have high speed net access and get a distorted result. If you have a little time I'd appreciate you listening to the clips and letting me know what you thought of the quality and how MP3 and windows media compare at low speeds (7, 8 or 16 kHz sampling). Would you listen to this sort of programme content ? (ie is it good enough that you would listen). The samples have some voice programmes and some music. I appologise for the taste in music - it was at hand. The test page is at http://www.r2.co.nz/20040812/ Thanks - Rich

Telecom UBS "not the service recommended by the Commission"
by Juha Saarinen 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

No, not unlimited beer service, but the wholesale DSL thing. In case you've missed it, have a read of these two: http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/UNID/16FA6ACE360C15CACC256EEF003360DD http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3584222 I received a media release late yesterday as well, which isn't up on the ComCom Web site yet. Here's a snippet from it: 'Current UBS not the service recommended by the Commission The Commerce Commission is advising businesses that the Unbundled Bitstream Service (UBS) currently being offered commercially by Telecom New Zealand differs significantly from the regulated bitstream service, recommended by the Commission in its unbundling report to the Minister of Communications, and due to come into force shortly. The Commission has become aware that the service being currently offered by Telecom has more limited characteristics than the bitstream service recommended by the Commission. "I would be concerned if telecommunications industry participants signed up to the current Telecom commercial offer under the impression that it was a proxy for the regulated service." said Telecommunications Commissioner Douglas Webb. ' The Commission's bitstream service isn't modelled on the Jetsurf 1GB plan or any Telecom retail plan. Looking at the service description, the commission requires a max upstream of 128Kbit/s and must "have an average of not less than 256Kbit/s" for the downstream, with a throughput rate for end users that mustn't be less than 32Kbit/s. -- Juha
