Appendix Introduction Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just broadband, is a high data rate Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access using a 56k modem. Dial-up modems are limited to a bitrate of less than 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a telephone line—whereas broadband technologies supply more than double this rate and generally without disrupting telephone use. Although various minimum bandwidths have been used in definitions of broadband, ranging up from 64 kbit/s up to 2.0 Mbit/s, the 2006 OECD report is typical by defining broadband as having download data transfer rates equal to or faster than 256 kbit/s, while the United States (US) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as of 2009, defines "Basic Broadband" as data transmission speeds exceeding 768 kilobits per second (Kbps), or 768,000 bits per second, in at least one direction: downstream (from the Internet...

...AT&T is a very large multinational corporation that focuses on telecommunication products. They were founded in 1893 in Alexander Graham Bell (who invented the telephone) and are headquartered in Dallas, TX. They have grown into being the #1 provider of wired telephony and #2 in mobile telephony in the United States. They are currently experiencing a dramatic shift in their market presence as landlines continue to decline as mobile and broadband are taking over as their main growth markets. AT&T’s relevant market has and always will be in telecommunications. Telecommunications can be defined as connecting individuals and information through means of technology such as airwaves and wires. Since being founded in the late 1800s, their main focus has been to connect people for voice calls. However, with the invention of the internet, they have begun to focus their expansion efforts on internet communications and connectivity. The market that AT&T operates in is growing through a huge transformation. Consumers these days are relying less on hardwired “landlines” and are focusing more on a mobile presence. This has caused AT&T’s phone business to focus their growth on mobile. AT&T is experiencing a radical shift in both of these markets. Like their competitors, their landline business has been on the decline over the last 10 years. This trend will definitely continue as less and less people are signing up for landlines as they feel that there is really no point in having a phone...

...Every firm (small or large), cafe, restaurant are the active microeconomics households, which influence the situation of the whole ,market. It is possible, that a single small firm can produce high-quality wares which are praised by people and very soon other firms, which produce similar wares but of lower quality will possible bankrupt being unable to compete with that one (Howson, Cindy, Successful Business Intelligence 2013). With the run of time that small firm can turn into a great company or corporation and become a leading monopolistic on the market. This is why I have decided to research Time Warner Cable. The history of the company is unlike any other with their cutting edge digital technology, range of home entertainment and information choices for the whole family to enjoy, and superior customer service that demonstrates customer satisfaction is the company's number one priority. In the late 1940s, entrepreneurs using simple antennas an Army surplus coaxial cable created the country's first cable television system and revolutionized the way Americans watched television (Warner Sperling, Cass, The Brothers Warner 2008). More than 70 years later, Time Warner Cable (TWC), the second largest cable provider, owns and manages advanced, well clustered cable systems throughout the United States and is ready to embark on it's next life phase of merging with Charter Communications. With the spread of the medium of television in the years following World War II, entrepreneurs...

...Well Cathy lets take a look at your current Internet speed 56-Kbps dial up modem was the standard in the late 1990s, they were the most popular access method for personal Internet usage, but their use has declined in the developed world as broadband internet technologies such as DSL and cable internet, So currently you are using a standard that has been out of date for the last 12 years so lets look at what some of your alternatives are. DSL Digital subscriber line (DSL) is a family of point-to-point technologies designed to provide high-speed data transmission over traditional telephone lines.2 The reason for the limited capacity on traditional telephone circuits lies with the telephone and the switching equipment at the end offices. The actual cable in the local loop from a home or office to the telephone company end office is capable of providing much higher data transmission rates. So conversion from traditional telephone service (POTS) to DSL usually requires just changing the telephone equipment, not rewiring the local loop, which is what has made it so attractive. (Fitzgerald 344) Fixed Wireless The most popular types of fixed wireless are WiMax and wireless DSL, which requires a line of sight between the communicating transmitters. For this reason, wireless DSL has limited application because it requires tall buildings or towers to be effective. The most common use today is to provide Internet access to multitenant buildings such as remote office buildings, apartment...

...evolving and changes can be dramatic. Just recently AT&T announced their plans to acquire T-Mobile, Google announced plans to purchase Motorola Mobility and new LTE technologies are making waves in the mobile data sector. Since these providers rely on advanced technologies only the most innovative and reliable networks survive. Verizon currently dominates the market and services 31.9% of American mobile users. The company was established in 2000 as a joint venture between Vodafone and Verizon Communications. One of the Verizon’s largest acquisitions was the purchase of Alltell Wireless in 2009 for $28.1 Billion; this purchase expanded their network coverage and increased their market share. Verizon operates a CDMA Radio network which does not require the use of SIM cards. The company’s service quality is a competitive advantage and Verizon invests about $5.7 Billion per year to expand and upgrade their network services. Verizon boasts “America’s largest and most reliable network” and has over 160.3 Million subscribers. They recently added the iPhone to their product line in early February which has allowed the company to take a significant portion of sales away from AT&T. Verizon is one of the most expensive networks and appeals to customers who are willing to pay a premium for advanced network technology. In other news the FCC has accused Verizon of illegally adding charges to customers’ bills. The company was ordered to repay $52.8 million in funds back to customers...

...Baseband vs. Broadband Data signals can be sent over a network cable in one of two ways: broadband or baseband. One good example of broadband signaling would be how you view different channels through your cable box and a signal coaxial cable carrying multiple signals in cable television. While, baseband signaling only sends a single signal over the cable. This type of signaling is typically used in Ethernet networks, with the exception of 10Broad3 standard. Baseband uses very simple transceiver devices that send and receive signals on a cable. The simplicity behind baseband signaling is that only three states need to be distinguished: one, zero and idle. Broadband transceivers are much more complex because they must be able to distinguish those same states, but on multiple channels within the same cable. Because of its simplicity, baseband signaling is used on most Ethernet networks. In a baseband transmission, the entire bandwidth of the cable is consumed by a single signal. In broadband transmission, signals are sent on multiple frequencies, allowing multiple signals to be sent simultaneously. Baseband refers to a message signal that is transmitted and broadband refers to send the message to everyone who is having a receiver. Baseband can carry both analog and digital signal where as broadband carries analog signal. Baseband is like point to point communication and broadband is point to multi-point communication. Baseband will carry single signal in a medium but broadband can carry...

...LYT2 Task 2 Western Governors University Part A - Technological Solutions for NHS, Inc. 1. DSL Technology Sims, J. (September 13, 2014). The Future of DSL. Retrieved September 14, 2015 from http://www.highspeedexperts.com/future-of-dsl/. Solution - This article describes the DSL technologies that are available and which direction most companies are going with. DSL services offer much higher speeds than a typical dial-up solution while utilizing the existing phone lines to transfer data. With this technology there are two main DSL options that are available. SDSL (Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) is an older technology which is targeted at businesses and enterprises that offers equal and fast upstream and downstream speeds. The other option is VDSL which is a faster solution for larger businesses. Use - VDSL (Very high speed Digital Subscriber Line) is the dominant DSL technology at the moment. VDSL is also in its 2nd generation which is referred to as VDSL2 which offers speeds of 100 Mbps downstream and 20 Mbps upstream. GDSL (Gigabit Digital Subscriber Line) is the upcoming technology that is promising but the specifications are still being proposed and debated. Application - DSL technology is a solution that NHS, Inc. can utilize given that all their clinics are supplied or are in reach of a landline telephone company and have the infrastructure in place. DSL would also be fast enough to handle the 100MB of files being transferred...
