Mike Pronovost, 19, is the chief executive of Powerband Internet, a firm that promises ultra-fast internet speeds even with dial-up phone connections. Moreover, Microsoft is supporting them.
"Our software creates a 'virtual desktop,' so your internet connection isn't used to actually download a file," Pronovost said. Instead, the file is stored on Microsoft's servers. So when a user logs onto a Powerband account, the connection merely runs the files - much faster than downloading. Downloading a 10-gigabyte movie onto a "virtual desktop," Pronovost said, would take about 10 seconds.
Sounds interesting......!!!
