2003: The year
that was
As 2003 draws to a close, technologists around the globe feel
more confident of the year ahead than the year past. In the
time-honoured tradition of columnists, MOHAN BABU takes stock
of the year that was. If the stock-markets were

Networking
moves to the next level

many of its woes behind—though problem areas still exist, quite a few
regulatory issues have been sorted out in 2003, and the tech downturn
is now history. Technology is racing ahead as fast as ever and market
predictions in most segments appear quite rosy too, says Gaurav Patra.
