The human auditory system is quite forgiving. This, no doubt, is why the perceived quality of speech in VoIP (Voice over IP) systems is so good, even when there is some packet loss in the packet-switched (IP) segment. Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) methods do wonders in filling in snippets of sound in a way that is not irritating – to humans, anyway. Machines, such as the modems used for data and/or facsimile transmission, on the other hand, are very much less forgiving. There are no...

One inescapable problem with analog communications is the accumulation of noise. As one great philosopher named Murphy put it, the only way to remove noise completely is to not communicate at all. That not being a viable option, we are resigned to the fact that noise elimination is possible but is accompanied by the unfortunate side effect of eliminating the information signal itself. And noise accumulates...
