He said the NetStation addresses the bandwidth problem by allowing multiple ISDN lines to be linked up and said that the Pentium III - which is expected to hit the streets in March - will provide the kind of processing power needed to make videoconferencing viable - as it is able to handle the complex compression/decompression (codec) of data required for videoconferencing without recourse to additional accelerator boards. All intensive activity at the processor end should help to drive demand for higher-end desktop CPUs - like the Pentium III - but the spokesperson decried such suggestions and characterized Intel's move as a public service, saying it would help replace "all these plug-in boards."
