| business landline and internet: The Book of Broken Promises Bruce Kushnick, 2015-02-20 Broken Promises is the third book in a trilogy spanning 18 years. Bruce Kushnick, author, senior telecom analyst and industry insider, lays out, in all of the gory details, how America paid over $400 billion to be the first fully fiber optic-based nation yet ended up 27th in the world for high-speed Internet (40th in upload speeds). But this is only a part of this story. With over four million people filing with the FCC to 'Free the Net', one thing is abundantly clear -- customers know something is terribly wrong. Every time you pay your bills you notice that the price of your services keeps going up, you don't have a serious choice for Internet (ISP), broadband or cable service, much less competitors fighting for your business, or maybe you can't even get very fast broadband service. Worse, over the last few years, America's ISPs and cable companies have been rated the most hated companies in America. While Net Neutrality concerns (detailed in Broken Promises) are important, the actions are only a first step and will most likely be tied up in court for the next few years. More importantly, it does not resolve most of the customer issues and there is nothing else on the horizon that will fix what's broken. Broken Promises documents the massive overcharging and failure to properly upgrade the networks, the deceptive billing practices, the harms caused from a lack of competition, the gaming and manipulating of the regulatory system, from the states to the FCC, and exposes the companies' primary strategy: How much can we get away with? There has been little, if any, regard for the customers they serve.--From http://newnetworks.com/bookbrokenpromises/ --(viewed on June 12, 2015). |

| business landline and internet: Captive Audience Susan Crawford, 2013-01-08 Ten years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet revolution. With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions and resulting monopolies that have allowed dozens of countries, including Japan and South Korea, to pass us in both speed and price of broadband. This steady slide backward not only deprives consumers of vital services needed in a competitive employment and business market—it also threatens the economic future of the nation. This important book by leading telecommunications policy expert Susan Crawford explores why Americans are now paying much more but getting much less when it comes to high-speed Internet access. Using the 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as a lens, Crawford examines how we have created the biggest monopoly since the breakup of Standard Oil a century ago. In the clearest terms, this book explores how telecommunications monopolies have affected the daily lives of consumers and America's global economic standing. |

Module Objectives: What You Will Learn After taking this module, you will be able to: - Define convergence, and two ways that it might be achieved - Define bandwidth, explain what broadband means and how much “broad” might be - Identify all of the main aspects of the modern broadband converged IP network, including the parts of the physical network, the three types of services, the equipment and players - Describe the network core, its purpose, performance requirements and how they are implemented - Identify the three primary network protocols: Ethernet, IP and MPLS, and what each does - Explain how MAC Frames and IP Packets go together - Identify the essential purpose of an IP address - Explain the essential advantage of MPLS over IP for routing - Define the three main technology areas for network access - List the most popular technologies in each - Describe the three components of a network service - Define the three main groupings of telecom services based on customer type - Describe at least four different meanings of the term VPN - Differentiate between streaming video vs. video from your ISP, and the essential difference between them - Explain in general what an MPLS VPN is and who uses it - Identify the key difference between MPLS VPN services and SD-WAN services - Explain what SIP trunking is and what legacy service it replaces - List at least four types of wholesale telecommunications services - Explain what a Data Center is - Explain the essential function of a router - Describe what a Layer 2 switch is used for, and how Layer 2 switches relate to routers - Define multiplexing - Identify three technologies that use Frequency-Division Multiplexing - Identify the name for FDM in the fiber optic world - Differentiate between FDM and Time-Division Multiplexing - Describe what a gateway is and the two functions it performs - Identify the two main ways that carriers connect, and where this happens This is quite a range of knowledge, and can appear daunting, especially if you are new to telecom. Keep in mind that this module is the introduction, the first pass through all of these topics. No-one is expecting anyone to be an instant expert. In subsequent modules, we take a second and sometimes third pass through the topics and drill deeper to more fully understand the concepts and technologies. With this module, we’re getting started identifying and understanding all of the aspects of modern broadband converged IP telecommunications.

| business landline and internet: Broadband as a Video Platform Judith O'Neill, Eli M. Noam, Darcy Gerbarg, 2014-02-05 This volume features contributions from a conference held in Lusaka, Zambia, to explore the role and prospects of broadband in Africa as a video platform—with emphasis on the strategies and building blocks for deployment and advancement. While it may seem that such networks and their applications are not a realistic scenario for developing countries, it would be short-sighted and economically dangerous to ignore the emerging trends. The pace of introduction of next-generation networks in industrialized countries is rapid and the developing world will not be able to stand aside. The risks of falling behind are great and in any country there will be elements of business and society who wish to forge ahead. Policymakers and network architects need to be prepared. Media companies and broadcasters, in particular, must be alert to the new developments as should be medical and educational institutions. The availability of advanced high-speed business application tools in a country will affect its participation in international transactions and its economic growth. This volume features contributions from industry leaders, policymakers and scholars, representing a variety of perspectives, including technology and infrastructure management, economic development, marketing, education and health. The authors collectively discuss how broadband deployment as a platform with sufficient speed for video may be encouraged by public policy and regulation and how investment in broadband for this and related purposes can improve the quality of life and experience in Sub Saharan Africa in media and data, while being a financeable, commercially sound business. |
