The main problem associated with such systems is that they cannot be searched by users. However, new technology is being developed that will lead to new applications, including real-time searching. The storages networks could be used as a means of spreading content across the Internet, or to aid in the preservation of digital content. These networks will also have regulatory and economic implications, especially in relation to the control of online content. They will also influence telecommunications and computer industries. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
