...TELECOMMUNICATIONS Telecommunication is communication at a distance by technological means, particularly through electrical signals or electromagnetic waves. Due to the many different technologies involved, the word is often used in a plural form, as telecommunications. Early telecommunication technologies included visual signals, such as beacons, smoke signals, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs. Other examples of pre-modern telecommunications include audio messages such as coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, and loud whistles. Electrical and electromagnetic telecommunication technologies include telegraph, telephone, and teleprinter, networks, radio, microwave transmission, fiber optics, communications satellites and the Internet. A revolution in wireless telecommunications began in the 1900s with pioneering developments in radio communications by Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909 for his efforts. Other highly notable pioneering inventors and developers in the field of electrical and electronic telecommunications include Charles Wheatstone and Samuel Morse (telegraph), Alexander Graham Bell (telephone), Edwin Armstrong, and Lee de Forest (radio), as well as John Logie Baird and Philo Farnsworth (television). The world's effective capacity to exchange information through two-way telecommunication networks grew from 281 petabytes of (optimally compressed) information in 1986, to 471 petabytes in 1993, to 2.2 (optimally...

...INTRODUCTION 1 BACKGROUND Nowadays, telecommunication plays an important role in the worldwide connection, which leads to the new era of information technology. Having been used for the first time among militaries, wireless communication is now experiencing a mushroom increase in both quantity demanded and supplied. However, the situation of each service company seems not to be fit the general trend because their numbers of subscribers fluctuate widely. The purpose of this research is to find out the causes of the kinks between general movement and individuals’ trends. In fact, a telecommunication company or a communication service company is an enterprise that provides many kinds of services such as telephone, GPRS, Internet connection, etc. Some company belongs to government corporations such as Viettel while others are business like AT&T (American corporation) and Telekomunikasi Selular (Indonesian company). These service enterprises earn huge revenues each year which can be pointed out: Viettel corporation revenue is $4.15 billion while AT&Ts is about $15.6 billion. They are huge amounts of money composing to profits so every-company tries to maximize them by increasing the numbers of subscribers, which one way is using promotion plans. General information about promotion strategies can be found easily. Some marketing book have deeply view on this method. In term of marketing, Promotion is “one of the four elements of marketing mix (product...

...Telecommunication Industry. Communication networks in the digital world make possible joint production of a range of different services for a diverse group of customers. In the case of telephony, technological development has increased economies of scope far beyond joint production of voice and fax connection. For most calculation purposes, this means that the old costing systems and allocation assumptions stemming from the days of national voice telephony simply do not offer relevant facts any longer. This is true for internal decision making in the telecommunications, but perhaps more importantly for setting interconnection charges. Activity Based Costing (ABC) is an alternative to or improvement of previous costing practices. The activities in telecommunication network can be process steps and switching. For example, a long distance call passes by several switching processes. In this case, we can calculate cost per switching following the call time and distance used by subscriber. In the central process steps in telecommunication network, cost varies according to traffic. Call consists of switching, connection before call, and call connection. In this operating level, cost driver is the number of switches in switching process and the time to call in channel and transmission process respectively. Activity Based Costing (ABC) is an alternative to or improvement of previous costing practices. The activities in telecommunication network can be process steps and switching...
