KillerApp Directory of Selected High-Bandwidth Applications

Many new applications are being developed to take advantage of high-speed networks. Some can be accessed over the Internet with broadband connections, while others run over proprietary – and sometimes experimental – networks. Not all of them are commercially available.

Here is a broad sampling of interesting applications that are impacting industries and changing lives. If you know of an application we should look at, please send a note to info@killerapp.com and we’ll check it out. We’ll be adding to this directory on a regular basis.
