1. Web 3.0

2. The webs future is predicted to become
so advanced that it will act as a
personal assistant.
Some Internet experts believe that the
Web will learn about your likes and
dislikes through the history of your
searches and questions.
They believe you will be able to type in
one or two complicated questions and
the Web will present you with pages
that answer your question(s).

3. Many of these experts believe that the Web
3.0 browser will act like a personal
assistant. As you search the Web, the
browser learns what you are interested in.
The more you use the Web, the more your
browser learns about you and the less
specific you'll need to be with your
questions. Eventually you might be able to
ask your browser open questions like "where
should I go for lunch?" Your browser would
consult its records of what you like and
dislike, take into account your current
location and then suggest a list of
restaurants.

5. Semantic Web

6. The Semantic Web is an evolving development of
the World Wide Web in which the meaning
(semantics) of information on the web is
defined, making it possible for machines to
process it.
Google has initiated a good example of Semantic
Web technology with its “rich snippets”. If a
website developer adds information (metadata)
then the search engine will find it and report it
as part of the search results.

7. Humans are capable of using the Web to carry
out tasks such as finding the Irish word for
“directory”, reserving a library book, and
searching for a low price for a DVD. However,
one computer cannot accomplish all of these
tasks without human direction, because web
pages are designed to be read by people, not
machines. The semantic web is a vision of
information that is understandable by
computers, so computers can perform more of
the tedious work involved in finding, combining,
and acting upon information on the web.

8. O3b

9. O3b Networks, Ltd. is a network company
aiming to build an Internet infrastructure
based on satellites to provide Internet access
to third world countries. The company was
founded by Greg Wyler. The name "O3b"
stands for "[The] Other 3 Billion", referring
to the population of the world where the
Internet is not available without help. O3b is
financially backed by Google, HSBC, SES and
cable television magnate John Malone.

10. Advantages of O3b

11. Higher capacity
O3b’s satellite transponders have on average three to four times the capacity of those offered by GEO satellite
systems. This translates into three to four times more bandwidth – and a fiber-like experience for customers.
Greater coverage
Satellite technology can deliver Internet connectivity to any location on the planet.
O3b’s next-generation satellite network will reach consumers, businesses and other organisations in more than 150
countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
Several billion people will enjoy access to broadband for the first time. If you can see the sky, the O3b network can
connect you.
Reduced capex
The O3b system eliminates the need to construct extensive and expensive terrestrial backhaul networks.
This enables telcos and ISPs to focus more time, money and energy on the front end of their business, building out
their local penetration and nurturing their customer base.
Lower latency
O3b’s unique network of Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites virtually eliminates the delay caused by standard
Geosynchronous (GEO) satellites.
Round-trip data transmission time is reduced from well over 500 milliseconds to approximately 100 milliseconds seconds.
This creates a web experience significantly closer to terrestrial systems such as DSL or Optical Fiber.
For the end customer, this means…
! •! Faster web access
! •! Clearer, more natural voice communications
! •! Real-time, lag-free video conferencing
! •! Full-speed IP over VPN
! •! Seamless access to web-based software and services
