	State of the Union 1902 - Speeches and Addresses of Theodore Roosevelt - Almanac of TR
		It is evident, therefore, that evils restrictive of commercial freedom and entailing restraint upon national commerce fall within the regulative power of the Congress, and that a wise and reasonable law would be a necessary and proper exercise of Congressional authority to the end that such evils should be eradicated.
		Inasmuch as the Congress was shortly to convene, and Pacific cable legislation had been the subject of consideration by the Congress for several years, it seemed to me wise to defer action upon the application until the Congress had first an opportunity to act.
		In consequence of this solicitation of the cable company, certain conditions were formulated, upon which the President was willing to allow access to these soundings and to consent to the landing and laying of the cable, subject to any alterations or additions thereto imposed by the Congress.

		Pacific Broadband Communications' initial focus is on cable broadband communications between a service provider's head end in a metropolitan, suburban or rural environment and the broadband user's home or office.
		Pacific Broadband Communications is the first to build a system from the ground up that leverages their tightly integrated MAC and PHY technologies and results in a system with higher densities, performance and noise immunity.
		Cable operators will be poised to light up their dark RF due to better performance over existing RF channels and the ability to use a much greater proportion of the unused, but available, spectrum due to the densities and cost-effectiveness of Pacific Broadband Communications' solutions.

	Applications: Telecommunications - Trends in the Use of Copper Wire & Cable
		In the USA electric utility power cable is installed predominantly overhead and is aluminum, while in other countries, for example the Netherlands, the tradition is to install power cable underground, and to use a significantly greater proportion of copper.
		In feeder cable – larger sizes used in the commercial and industrial markets to feed subpanels, and perhaps carry large currents from floor to floor in a multi-story building – the aluminum industry has concentrated some marketing effort.
		In such applications as welding cable, mining cable, trailing cable for walking draglines, etc., the reliability of copper is recognized, and no compromises are made by using other materials that might be cheaper on a first-cost basis.
