A Short Explanation of the Cloverleaf A more advantageous architecture for telecom processes is required: Telecommunications networks today consist of multiple networks based on multiple technologies, e.g., Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Cable Television (CATV). This dilemma also extends to the structure of all present networks and their underlying technologies. [See: Problem, Overlay, Cloverleaf] Each of these networks, in turn consists of disparate computing nodes. A more successful utilization of these networks requires a platform offering more programmability into the core of those networks and that would require a cloverleaf like infrastructure. Case in point: Although the telephone network (PSTN) could be called the world’s first distributed computing network —telephone switching systems do not have a “main” (program) architecture; there are many different applications going on inside their systems at one time (i.e., Internet, VOD & Video Teleconferencing). As a result, their markets are dominated by many networks whose applications are decomposed into smaller components with no common interface to access them variably and/or on demand.

Because fundamentally, at least for an agile end-user, more useful and accessible individual applications requiring different bits (asymmetrical) would be far more useful than just more bits (synchronous).

A more advantageous architecture for telecom processes is required:
Telecommunications networks today consist of multiple networks based on multiple technologies, e.g., Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Cable Television (CATV). This dilemma also extends to the structure of all present networks and their underlying technologies. [See: Problem, Overlay, Cloverleaf] Each of these networks, in turn consists of disparate computing nodes. A more successful utilization of these networks requires a platform offering more programmability into the core of those networks and that would require a cloverleaf like infrastructure.
Case in point: Although the telephone network (PSTN) could be called the world’s first distributed computing network —telephone switching systems do not have a “main” (program) architecture; there are many different applications going on inside their systems at one time (i.e., Internet, VOD & Video Teleconferencing). As a result, their markets are dominated by many networks whose applications are decomposed into smaller components with no common interface to access them variably and/or on demand. [See: Problem, Overlay, Cloverleaf). On-the-other-hand, if a method to address differences with and between these networks (AND THEIR COMPONENTS) existed, this would be evolutionary and cut cost to performance ratios dramatically. Because fundamentally, at least for an agile end-user, more useful and accessible individual applications requiring different bits (asymmetrical) would be far more useful than just more bits (synchronous).

Understanding the potential opportunity:
See: USPTO #5,577,042. We have a patented method for an applications programming interface (API) that exercises control over the entire radio spectrum —including the broadcast (TV) spectrum as well as the Telecommunications (Telco, SAT, Wireless) spectrum. [See: www. ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochart.pdf.] We have realized a useful technical advantage by utilizing an architecture (analogous to a highway cloverleaf) that allows end users to build dynamic virtual paths that will ‘dance’ over the publicly switched telephone networks (PSTN) —as-well-as existing (SAT) broadcast channels. [See: Problem, Overlay, Cloverleaf]
What this means is that the problem of “pulling” existing overlay roadways (networks) together can now be put into working order by simply “pushing” each operating (network) system onto an Information SuperHighway. In effect: MBC’s cloverleaf method could leverage all old (operating systems) networks together to maximize their combined “pull.” Just by retooling existing installed base into a “whole” network greater than the sum of their “parts.” [See: Cloud of Hot Zones]
