Photos: The secrets of BT Labs

TV on mobiles, future gadgets and VoIP conference calls

Tired of missing the end of your favourite show because you have to go out instead? Then Push to TV could be something for you. In the home the mobile phone can function as a remote control for the TV but when you go out press a button and the show is streamed via GPRS to the mobile instead. Sadly this idea is still in the development stage.

    BT breaks the laws of physics?

    So, the BT optical fibre in photo 5 was "...wrapped in copper to shield the cable from the intense heat..."

    Normally copper conducts heat rather well!

    Perhaps BT is above even the laws of physics?

    Call the Celestial Regulator!
