2. 1. The fundamentals
Stable? 550 ppm
New results reported in 2006 – all pointing in the same direction
Resolution of temperature anomalies, satellite measurements of Arctic and Antarctica, nonlinearities…
Likely CO2-stabilization levels looks more like 550 ppm than 400 ppm
Likely temperature ”ceiling” looks more like 3C than 2C
Today: 380 ppm
yrs ca
290 ppm
~12 C temperature
> 100 m sea level

All images are available with embedded audio in un-compressed format in all control rooms in the MediaCentre and in a compressed format over IP-network. Produced streams are delivered to all control stations along the track while sponsors and other communities can have a special production adapted to their profile with autoswitching of images of their ”heros”.based on the reading of passing RFID tags. IBM-Kista will produce several parallel ”products” for the mobile and PDA market.

19. Is it possible to fibre a country?

20. On the powerlines –
Owned by the people of Sweden (STate)

21. National TV-distribution and contribution company
National TV-distribution and contribution company. Used to be STM 1 radilo links – now more and more fibre.

22. This one we Swedes have paid on our phone bills – and on our broadband bills.
Today it’s called KGB because of the the Swedish words for Copper, Glass and Company – or really Skanova Access a fully owned subsiduary of the incumbent TeliaSonera

23. Added to the powerlines and reaches almost all municipalities.
....also owned by the State of Sweden

24. Partly built by the National Hydro Power company.
Now owned by the Danish incumbent TDC

25. More State of Sweden networks!
Under most railways.

26. Also Norway ownes a lot i fibres in Sweden.....
Telenor
Also Norway ownes a lot i fibres in Sweden.....

27. ...and then you have regional networks that connects small places like Skaulo and Polikasvaara with Kiruna, Gällivare and the rest of Norrbotten.
Did you know that Kiruna is the largest city in the world. The ”city” mountain Kebnekajse is only just over 2000 meters.
IT-Norrbotten
Telenor

28. Mer Telia-Sonera
IT-Norrbotten
Telenor
..and then Telia must have the same thing – but just almost as they will not cross the Norwegian border or reach Karesuando and Nikkaluokta as It’s only IT-Norrbotten and Raitrack that crosses over to Norway.

29. In Härjedalen you find also Herjenet
More rural networks
Mer Telia-Sonera
IT-Norrbotten
Telenor
In Härjedalen you find also Herjenet
..and in Dalarna we have Malung Energy building a lot – also along the Vasaloppet track. Teracom has built some connections too.

30. Mer Glesbygdsnät
Mer Telia-Sonera
IT-Norrbotten
Telenor
…also we have
