...Assignment 1. Voice vs. Data Assignment 1. Voice vs. Data • Cell phones- Uses both voice and data with the use of cell tower to send data from the network to the cell phone. • Landline phone -Uses both of these networks, using both of these networks because your voice is being transferred through the wires as packets that are essentially data. • SMS / Text Messaging-Short message services also known as Sms. Text messages are a way to send and receive messages over mobile networks. Sms / text messages can only contain 160 characters. Sms and Text messaging uses data. • Fax Machines-fax is sent it immediately gets digitized and packaged in secure TCP packets and sent to natural data Inc. Fax Machines use an analog data signal. • Pager- A way to notify individuals of incoming calls by a tone, it uses a data signal. • VOIP (voice over IP) phone-uses digital technology to make phone calls on the internet rather than through phone lines. A VoIP phone allows us to bypass the phone companies completely, it uses data networks • Skype / Face time- You must have a data network. In order to get on the internet to use these services. These two services are both internet calling applications. The main purposes of these applications are to allow users to communicate with other people over the internet. Exercise 1. Local Exchange The access network is the part of the network that connects the individual consumer or business to the telecommunications system. It’s a critical...

... Voice vs. Data Cell Phone use both voice and data communication. Cell phones can you use voice by making you call to other and data by using text message. Also by downloading apps to their cell phones. Landline phones are just voice communication. Is just voice because it is just meant to receive and send calls. SMS/ Text Messages are data communications by which it just send and receive text which is just Data. Fax Machines are data while it is just a phone but it calls the other fax machines to send data over such a resume paper. Pagers are just data communications which send numbers or texts letting the person know. VOIP for phones is just voice communications which is just like a and landline phone but it use IP over the network to make calls instead Skype/ Facetime is both voice and data communications because you can send messages to the other person as you see them and speaking to them Exercise 1. Local Exchange The access network is the part of the network that connects the individual consumer or business to the telecommunications system. It’s a critical portion of the network, because it is the part of the network that reaches the end users and “connects them.” Services are brought to the consumer or business through a cabling link between the consumer or business and the local exchange. The local exchange acts as the convergence point for the information sent to the consumers and the point at which services from the global telecommunications are distributed...

...Skype vs. at&T Skype vs At&t Case Study 1. What are the dominant economic characteristics of the VoIP Industry? PSTN charges based on minutes or even seconds while VoIP charges based on data usage. VoIP services often charge a flat fee and in Skype’s example, they offer free talk between Skype users. VoIP is also inexpensive to operate as the infrastructure is already there. VoIP is also considered part of the information service industry and not the telecommunication service industry giving it an advantage politically against PTSN (compliance with telecom laws). Against PTSN, VoIP is expected to grow substantially and is eating away at the market share of PTSN. 2. What does the five forces analysis reveal about the chances for profitability in the VoIP industry? (Prepare a five forces analysis) Threat of Substitues: Substitute for VoIP is low – as it is a substitute for PSTN Threat of New Entrants: The threat of new entrants is high in this market. As a rule in economics, companies will enter this market until there is a profit to be earned. Companies like Microsoft, Google, and AOL are just a few that are planning to compete in the VoIP market. Bargaining power of Buyers: The bargaining power is moderate because of the ease of switching to other companies. Customers are “fought for” among competitors. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Weak- Limited bargaining power – VoIP providers are widespread and infrastructure is readily available. Net neutrality laws...

...Assignment 1 Voice vs. Data Cellular phone can operate and provide between the two carriers of network voice communication and data are link to the same tower where both signals are being transmitted and connected to a mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) but the only issue is data is being more optimize with newer mobile phones and mobile applications meaning the user is going to be burning a lot more data storage than expected. Landline are both equipped with the same network comparison, landlines are largely involve with point-to–point access between the scribers and the central office point order for the physical connection to correspond with each other now for other conventional landlines that’s being used for security and survival standards such as police officers, firefighters, and military units that undergo through a leased lined from a provider order to received data transmission by telecommunication from a data line. SMS/Text message or short message service are more involve in the data networking area where all text messages are usually displayed normally from cellular phones and computers, now there phones required installation application for voice communication text message that allows the user of the cellular phone to send a text by voice leaving your hands free this is a new way to encounter better texting methods for voice control order to send and receive information for cellular interaction.

... Communication Information system (IS) is a result in the arrangement of information, processes, people, and information technology (IT). Additionally, information systems support health organizations by the effect on the following: collection, process, storing, and providing as an output of information. Information technology is hardware and software working together along with data and telecommunication technology. Health care information systems (HCIS) are valuable in a health care setting because the information includes raw facts, and that information also helps facilitate the decision-making process. Before 1960s, physicians were to hand write medical information; fortunately, the early 1960s introduces a new form of record keeping. Electronic health record (EHR) should focus on the total health of a patient. EHRs simplify communication between patient and provider, and enable both to obtain health information quickly and effectively. Even though EHRs are full of advantages concerning patient-provider communication, EHRs also have disadvantages. The discussion of this paper will display how EHRs help patient and providers communication effectively. One benefit to the patient Electronic health record is a benefit to patients in many ways; for instance, EHRs empower patient to access his or her medical records electronically with security. In an Internet video, University of Phoenix (2010) states patients can check online for important information such as appointments...

...interest advocates have fought to preserve it. In September, the fight to keep the Internet free and open found its way to the DC’s Circuit Court of Appeals, where Verizon is attempting to overturn the Federal Communications Commission’s current net neutrality regulations. Verizon vs. FCC , which could be decided as soon as this month, is the latest and arguably most important battle to protect the Internet from censorship and discrimination. But what is net neutrality? And what could this case mean for the future of the Internet? We’ve put together this explainer to catch you up. What is net neutrality? Network neutrality, or net neutrality, is a term first coined by technology policy scholar Tim Wu to describe the preservation of online innovation by prohibiting companies from discriminating against some users and content, or prioritizing some content over others. It guarantees a level playing field in which Internet users do not have to pay Internet service providers more for better access to online content, and content generators do not have to pay additional fees to ensure users can access their websites or apps. By the way, what is an Internet service provider? An Internet service provider, or ISP, is a company or organization that sells you access to the Internet. These companies, like Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner Cable or CenturyLink, do not own the Internet, they just provide the infrastructure needed to access it, like underground fiber optic cables...

...of making large sums of money in short periods of time can be achieved through the well-minded trading of stocks or equities on a stock market. Two of the most well-known stock trading providers or platforms are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ). If a person is deciding to become an investor they must understand while these two trading platforms have similarities they operate in different realms. Before determining the differences of the NYSE and the NASDAQ the similarities must be explained. Both the NYSE and the NASDAQ offer high-end services and are known for their exchange of stocks in the primary and secondary market (NASDAQ vs the NYSE, 2012). Both trading platforms offer real time details of the daily stock exchanges so investors are able to obtain valuable information at all times regardless of their location (NYSE and NASDAQ, 2012). These details explain which stocks are the most active for the day, the volume of share trades, and which companies have had declines and the percentage of the decline (NYSE and NASDAQ, 2012). With both trading platforms offering these details they both allow investors to make well-informed...
