This paper describes the requirements of a Telecommunication (Telco) application server written in the JavaTM programming language, and how those requirements might influence Java virtual machine (JVM1) design.

In three years, from 1999 to 2001, venture capitalists raised $204 billion to back young companies in what are now known as Bubble Funds.

[...] If you include money from previously raised funds, VCs have $252 billion in capital under management today.
