Until digital compression technology allows them to multiply their channel offerings, many systems are filled to capacity.
But other breakthrough video applications do not need special compression technology.
Some data has little redundancy; large video files, for example, already use compression technology and cannot be compressed further.
The year after, Skins lodged patents on their compression technology.
Variations of this invention form the foundation of all modern data compression technologies.
But it is also possible compression technology or shifts in customer usage patterns will slow the growth of bandwidth needs.
The key to both systems is aggressive compression technology, which boils sounds into the smallest possible trickle of data.
Both the underlying compression technology and the user interface are covered by patents.
The compression technology has certainly given radio purists pause - or maybe a lack thereof.
File compression technology at the time, especially for videos which could run into hundreds of megabytes, was still in a primitive state.
