“T-Square”
Ni Jian Carlo M. Gamboa

Noong ika-22 ng Pebrero, unang beses kong naiwan ang aking T-square (isa sa mga pantulong na gamit sa pagdodrawing). Eh ito pa naman ay isa sa pinakaimportanteng bagay na kinakailangan kong dalhin tuwing may Drawing (isa sa mga subjects na kailangang ipasa para matawid ang kursong Inhinyeriya) kami. Ayon, naiinis ako sa sarili ko sa pag-iwan nung bagay na ‘yon. Kaya nag-isip ako kung kanino ako pwedeng manghiram ng T-square.

Pagdating ko sa school, gumawa agad ako ng assignment sa Math (nakalimutan ko kasi) at pagkatapos noon nagklase na kami. Pagkatapos ng klase, dumaan ako sa room ng dati kong kaklase. Nakakahiya man, nagtry akong manghiram ng T-square sa dati kong crush. Sabi niya pwede raw. At ‘yon papahiramin niya raw ako mamaya ng T-square. At ang nakakahiya pa eh, babalik pa siya do’n sa tinitirhan niya upang kunin ‘yon para lang sa akin. Siyempre, napakasaya ko dahil may magagamit na ako mamaya sa Drawing namin at…nakausap ko siya.

Noong Drawing subject namin, siyempre napakalaking tulong nung T-square niya sa paggagawa ng 3rd plate ko kahit hindi ko natapos ‘yong pagpepencil (2nd meeting pa kasi, may 3rd meeting pa). Next meeting, dapat tapos na lahat, nakatechpen at may labels na.
So uwian na, sumakay na kami ng mga kasabay ko sa jeep.
Syempre, ingat na ingat ako sa pagdadala nung T-square niya, baka kasi masira ko pa. ‘Yon, bumaba na ako sa bus terminal at nagpaalam do’n sa mga kasama ko. Tapos sumakay ako ng bus (siyempre saan pa ba ako sasakay? Sa tricycle? Bus terminal nga, di ba?) Sumakay ako do’n sa maayos ayos na bus. Humanap ako ng upuang malapit sa pinto para madali para sa akin na bumaba. Nang nakahanap na ako ng upuan, natulog muna ako kasi matagal pa naman ang byahe ko (ang layo kasi ng bahay namin sa pinapasukan ko).

“BOOM!”

Nagtataka ako kung bakit parang sobrang payapa ng aking kalooban na parang wala na akong poproblemahin. ‘Yong pakiramdam na wala ka nang dinadaing na sakit. Naliwanagan na lang ako noong nakita ko ang aking mga magulang na naiyak sa isang taong nakahilatay sa kama ng ospital at nakita kung sino ‘yong iniiyakan nila. AKO…ako ‘yong nakahiga sa kama, walang malay. Naaawa ako sa sarili ko, lalong lalo na sa mga magulang ko.

Nakita ko ‘yong pulis na inilalahad sa aking mga magulang kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari. Nawalan daw ng break ‘yong bus na sinasakyan ko na nagresulta sa pagkahulog nung bus sa may bangin.

Kaya pala sobrang payapa ng kalooban ko kasi patay na ako. Ganito pala ang pakiramdam kapag patay na ang isang tao…malungkot. Malungkot kasi hindi man lang ako nakapagpaalam sa mga mahal ko sa buhay. Malungkot kasi hindi ko naibalik ‘yong T-square niya at tsaka hindi ko na ulit masisilayan ang kanyang mga ngiting nagpapasaya sa akin.

Ang saklap! Kung kelan …

Ano ‘yon? Parang may humihila sa akin pabalik ng katawan ko.

Sa isang iglap, pakiramdam ko nasa katawan ko na ulit ako. Nakaramdam ako ng saya dahil binigyan pa ako ni Lord ng isa pang pagkakataon upang mabuhay.

Sa aking pagmulat, nakita ko ang balisang mga mukha ng aking mga magulang, kapatid at ibang kamag-anak. At sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, nakita ko siya. Nagtataka ako kung bakit nandito siya. Siguro may kamag-anak siyang naka-confine dito sa ospital. Ano ‘yon, tinadhana kami na makita ang isa’t isa? At bakit sa lahat ng mga lugar, eh dito pa sa ospital. Siguro nag-iilusyon lang ako. Ala! Ewan! Basta masaya akong makita siya sa aking muling pagmulat.

Siguro mga dalawang linggo akong naka-confine sa ospital. Dalawang linggong puro siya ang nasa isip. ‘Di ko man lang naisip na dalawang linggo na akong wala sa klase. Hay…marami na naman akong hahabulin sa klase.

Pagkauwi ng bahay, tinanong ako ng nanay ko kung kaninong T-square ang dala-dala ko (alam siguro ng nanay ko na hindi sa akin ‘yong T-square). Ang sabi ko naman ay sa aking dating kaklase. Wala na siyang ibang tinanong after that.

Siyempre, pagkatapos ng matagal na oras ng pagpapagaling, pumasok na ulit ako. Siyempre dala-dala ko ‘yong T-square niya. Pagkadaan ko sa room nila, wala ulit siya. Kaya dumeretso muna ako sa room namin. Tapos nagpasama ako sa kaklase ko na magpaphotocopy ng mga lectures na nakaligtaan ko nung wala ako (siyempre aaralin ko ‘yong mga ‘yon, ayaw ko namang magka “5” sa final grade).

Noong pabalik na kami sa room, nakita ko siya sa kanilang room. So nagmadali akong kunin ‘yong T-square niya at pinuntahan siya. Nagpaumanhin ako sa kanya dahil ang tagal namalagi sa akin ‘yong T-square niya. Nagtaka nga ako kung ano ang ginamit niya nung nasa akin ‘yong T-square niya. Sabi niya, may extra pa naman daw siyang pwedeng gamitin. Nagpasalamat ulit ako sa kanya at umalis na papuntang room namin. Pero tinawag niya ‘yong pangalan ko (siyempre napalingon ako) at sinabing “Salamat din!” Napakasaya ko nung tinawag niya ‘yong pangalan ko habang nakangiti siya sa akin.

At do’n na nagsimula ang bagong buhay ko. Ang buhay na puno ng saya dahil sa kanya.

Service Provider Type

...Nt1330 Service Provider Types RBOCS Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCS) was formed in 1984 due to the breakup of AT&T based on a restructure agreement. RBOCs were organized into seven regional Bell holding companies called Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, Bell South, Nynex, Pacific Telesis, Southwestern Bell, and US West. The BOCs were given the right to provide local phone service while AT&T was allowed to retain its long-distance service. RBOCs are progressively making available new telephone carrier technologies such as ISDN and DSL. (Margaret Rouse, 2008) LECS & ILECs Local exchange carriers (LECs) are separated into mandatory LECs (ILECs) and competitive LECs (CLECs).These carriers use the public switched telephone network system for accessing consumers. Unbundling the network helps to create the ability for CLECs to compete with ILECs. This is discussed as local-loop unbundling (LLU or LLUB). MSO Multiple system operators (MSO) are operators of multiple cable television systems. The majority of system operators run cable systems in more than one community. Cable companies offer and promote television services to consumers using radio frequency over HFC hybrid fiber copper and radio frequency over glass networks.

The seven original regional Bell operating companies were Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, NYNEX, Pacific Bell, Southwestern Bell, and US WEST. It is important in telecommunications because RBOCs are generally in competition for digital data and Internet traffic with wireless service providers and cable TV companies. RBOCs are gradually making available new telephone carrier technologies such as ISDN and DSL. * ILEC: Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier * Is a local telephone company in the United States that was in existence at the time of the breakup of AT&T into the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), also known as the "Baby Bells."

Cellphone Industry

...companies and the consumers. With the information from market analysts, alongside the opinions of many involved, the fact of the matter is that there is an impact on every decision made within this mobile market, which will affect the United States in the long run . As we can tell by the history of the rise and fall of cell phone competition in the United States, we started out with numbers of telephone companies, maintaining a healthy competition. However as time passed by, especially in the case of the original AT&T, it all ended up with one company eating up the rest, achieving absolute control over the market. In this particular instance, the original AT&T was forced to split into seven “Baby Bells,” by the United States Department of Justice in a long-running antitrust suit. While this stimulated a growth in competition and awareness of possibilities within the industry, all but one “Baby Bell,” Bell Atlantic, merged together to recreate the behemoth that was AT&T. Luckily, Bell Atlantic grew to become Verizon Wireless, preserving a sense of competition in a vastly unsaturated mobile market. In the market of today, these four players reign supreme, and because of this they have the ability to affect the market as they...

...will limit my discussion to what had been known as “phone service” and not broadcast entities (TV, radio, etc...) nor shall I dwell on the so-called Cable industry. The analysis shall also be primarily focused on the domestic market. Throughout the world, historically the communication industry has overwhelmingly been a monopoly. This was also true in the United States. As AT&T evolved from the late 19th century, except for a year as a nationalized company, existed as a national monopoly. In the so- called Progressive era of the 1910’s, the idea that a natural monopoly would be more efficient and economical than competing systems took hold. The idea of universal service, with rural rates being lower than urban rates (price discrimination). While never a “true” monopoly, with its substantial market share, and restrictions on connecting non-Western Electric equipment to its network, AT&T operated as one. The barriers to entry were primarily economic, the expensive right-of-way access and materials for wired connectivity being first among them. The restriction of un approved devices not being allowed on the AT&T network, limited interconnecting between competitors as well as additional connection & maintenance fees contributed to its dominance. As a monopoly, there were limited phone styles, and little need for deep price reduction through economy of scale or innovation, though state commissions regulated rates. The upside of the additional revenue, Bell Laboratories had been able...

AT&T monopolized the telecommunication industry until the United States took them to court for antitrust and won. AT&T was broken up into eleven smaller companies, call Baby Bells. One of the companies that derived from this law suit was the Regional Bell Operating Company or RBOC. RBOC was a term that described one of the US telephone companies that provided telephone, telegraph, and long distance to the consumers. RBOC is part of a local exchange carrier allowed to compete for business. RBOC services internet service which in turn dealt with digital data. The merging companies provided different types of service based on the Telecommunication Act of 1996.

In 1984, Bell System was forced to divest there company into eight smaller companies, in reaction to the United States versus AT&T Anti-Trust suit. As a result of the separation and some misguided acquisitions, AT&T saw its value drop drastically. In 2005 Southwestern Bell Corp. (who had changed its name to SBC) purchased AT&T Corp. who in turn changed its name to AT&T Inc. AT&T Inc. is the largest provider of fixed telephony in the United States. They also provide broadband and subscription television services. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T) By the end of 2008, AT&T had discontinued and removed all of its pay telephones. With the decline in phone services, including traditional home phones, the company needed to develop new technologies. The company had to strategize a way back into the consumer’s residence. So, AT&T deployed a new media called U-Verse and extended its high-speed internet into rural areas. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T) Leveling...
