my bad! uboot and tftpboot are very similar where tftpboot asks the tftp server for its ip-adder etc and a small boot loader which invokes ftp if I remember correctly. uboot could be embedded into a chunk of flash which does things similarly to tftp. At some time they after they have their address and image info they both get it via ftp. in a Unix environment, your home directory is stored on the server at
/export/home/uname and the client remotely mounts the directory via NFS

How about TV or radio transmission? A history of the technology and techniques currently employed. Maybe a dabble on what to expect in the future.

The history of the legacy analog systems is fascinating!
Firstly the battle with competing standards.

From the progression from Black & White to its superposition of colour information whilst keeping compatibility. Pure Genius!!
The history of the 29.97Hz and 25Hz frame rates and colour standards NTSC, NTSC 4.43, SECAM and PAL.
The challenges transposing 24 FPS film to the abovementioned frame rates.
But from the consumer point of view - Ugh! All of those decades of imperfect reception - ghosting, wobbly pictures & interference.

Although the digital systems are vastly superior they are relatively boring.
