1. But as blackouts caused by bottlenecks showed in California earlier this year, transmission capacity has failed to keep pace with demand. 2. E-Tek makes equipment to increase transmission capacity over telecommunications and cable networks. 3. Fiber-optic lines have much greater signal transmission capacity than conventional copper wire lines. 4. Global Crossing, which sold high-speed data transmission capacity to telephone and Internet providers, filed for bankruptcy protection. 5. In the long term, airplanes could communicate with telephone satellites with greater transmission capacity. 6. One answer is to build more power plants and transmission capacity. 7. Salt River said it might ask the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, to clarify its orders on access to transmission capacity owned by utilities. 8. That could add risks because other carriers, now its competitors, will be more reluctant to buy transmission capacity from Global. 9. The construction of these systems resulted in a glut of capacity on communications networks illustrated by plunging prices for high-speed data transmission capacity. 10. The network will be built upon the fiber optic data transmission capacity the state has purchased from MFS Network Technologies of Omaha, Neb. |
