The period, more or less one year before September 11. The White House Technology Advisor worked in the mankind largest plan until now, to install a fantastic communications and IT network of 100 Mb/s in 100 million houses in the next 10 years. A plan bigger than the Kennedy's plan to place a man in the Moon in 10 years.
The plan was being developed with a lot of priorities, 470 companies had already petitioned to participate and/or to invest, they discussed the more suitable communications protocol among the existent ones - as the H.323 - and the new ones, etc. The forecast was to announce it until the end of 2002.
That plan had very big goals, among which I can remember:
01. e-Surgery
02. e-Physician
03. e-Education (all levels)
04. e-Training (for companies)
05. e-Business (B2B, B2C, C2B, and by voice)
06. Iterative TV
07. e-Movies
08. e-Security (Federal, State, Country, homes)
09. e-Elections
10. TV telephony
