...Introduction Bangladesh’s telecommunications industry Mobile phone has become a crucial part of Bangladesh's everyday-life and has made a “safe haven” in one of people’s pockets much like their wallet that they never want to leave home while they head for our work. The telecom-revolution and its persistent evolution together have made it possible even in developing countries like Bangladesh. This is the leading device that people now express themselves through, get their work done and share their pains and pleasures with (Blitz). The almost exponential enlargement in the Telecoms sector in Bangladesh in the last 5-10 years has had the same transformative impact on Bangladesh's economy as the growth of Ready Made Garments and Remittances. As well as being the largest provider to Foreign Direct Investment and tax revenues, the catalytic effect of rapid mobile infiltration on increasing the quality of life of tens of millions of people has been significant (The News Today). The number of mobile phone subscribers in Bangladesh achieved 82.442 million in November 2011 (The Independent, 2012), 92.12 million at the end of May 2012 (People’s Review) and subscribers has reached 110.675 million at the end of September 2013. Major players Bangladesh has 6 mobile phone operators: 1. Grameenphone – a joint venture enterprise between Telenor and Grameen Telecom Corporation (Wikipedia, a) 2. Banglalink – a wholly owned subsidiary of Orascom Telecom (Wikipedia, b) 3. Robi – a joint venture...

...Public Participation in Political Process Analysis 4.1 Perspectives on Political Beliefs 1 Political scientists believe that families play an important role in the socialization process. Families pass along party identification to their children, and politically active families may do so for future generations. Consider the link between your family and your political socialization. Respond to the following: 1. Explain your level of political involvement and your party affiliation. Are you registered to vote? Are you a regular voter? Do you participate in both local and national elections? Have you ever joined a political group or participated in a political campaign? How closely do you follow current events? Do you consider yourself a member of a political party, and have you always had the same affiliation? I do not have a high level of political involvement in any party affiliation at this time. I am registered to vote and I usually vote only during presidential election cycles. I normally do not participate in local elections, however I did attempt to formulate a plan to run for mayor of an unincorporated portion of my former county until the referendum to create a new city failed to pass. I joined a Democratic group while was in college however, my involvement was very limited. I follow current events in a consistency level slightly above the average for people within my group of socialization. I’m not a member of a political part and find some personal...

...Case Analysis 4: Google’s attempt to but into wireless via 700MHz Spectrum Auction TM583 12/09/2012 Why did Google make this move? What do they hope to accomplish? Google made this move because they wan to compete with the other companies and become innovated. Google has most been known for their website and maps and now, they want to be known for more. “Google interest in the spectrum came after AT&T and other larger broadband providers expressed interest in recent years in getting web-based businesses to pay more for their customers’ use of the broadband networks.”(http://www.cio.com/article/160601/Google_to_Bid_in_700MHz_Spectrum_Auction) Google wanted control of the Internet experience on the device that hosted it. If they got the wireless spectrum, they could control how much the consumer would decide to pay or not pay for their service. However, since they put a bid in for the wireless spectrum, they wanted to do the same thing on their network. The 700MHz spectrum will travel far making it perfect for the wireless industry. How does Google support for Open Access fit into Google’s plans? “Google has said it would bid on the 700MHz spectrum only if the FCC guarantees certain open-access principles; including open access for companies wanting to buy wireless capacity wholesale.” (http://news.cnet.com/Googles-battle-for-wireless-spectrum---page-2/2008-1039_3-6199374-2.html) Open Access for the 700MHz spectrum can be lay down “four freedom” 1.)

Introduction: The 2G spectrum scam involved politicians and government officials in India illegally undercharging mobile telephony companies for frequency allocation licenses, which they would then use to create 2G subscriptions for cell phones. The shortfall between the money collected and the money that the law mandated to be collected is estimated to be 176,645 Crore (US$32.15 billion), as valued by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India based on 3G and BWA spectrum auction prices in 2010. However, the exact loss is disputed. The Supreme Court declared allotment of spectrum as "unconstitutional and arbitrary" and quashed all the 122 licenses issued in 2008 during tenure of A.

...functioning effectively as part of society. 3 st 2 Starbuck (2003) identifies three grand areas of social conflict in which organisations are participating: - The conflict between corporations and nations, - the conflict between top managers and other stakeholders, and - the conflict between the short run and the long run. Mitigating them should be one of the main purposes of organisation theorists. Therefore it is imminent to identify the different dimensions of organisations and to describe the current and future external factors, which could affect an organisation. 4 One popular approach for scanning the environment of an organisation is P(political) E(economic) S(social) T(technology) L(legal) E(ecological) analysis; an environmental scanning tool – similar but more detailed than Porter’s 5 forces 5 to identify political, 6 economic, social, legal and ecological factors that have an impact on an...

...141). Adopting evidence-based practices and using scientific methods are important for educating and supporting individuals with ASD. Effective matching of EBP methods to the particular needs of an individual with ASD is considered best practice. Programs must be correctly applied and evaluated by knowledgeable professionals (Simpson, 2005). Implementation of evidence based-based practices involves a process of actions, multiple decisions and corrections (Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman & Wallace, 2005). Application to the clinical treatment, education and social intervention of individuals with autism spectrum disorders is influenced by current economic and political trends as well as historical influences. The National Research Council (NRC) issued a report in 2001 that incorporated a thorough analysis of the scientific base for the education of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The review highlighted the aspects of effective programs such as the preparation of educators, early intervention and a low ratio of students and teachers. The importance of families and the necessity for future research were also recommended (Buron & Wolfberg, 2013). Accountability, scientifically based intervention and highly qualified teachers are important requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). “Both the NRC report and the...

Introduction The same-sex marriage movement deals with what is arguably a leading social issue in the United States today. In 1996, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) legally fixed the definition of marriage to be that which includes one man and one woman, including the provision that “states need not recognize a marriage from another state if it is between persons of the same sex” (www.domawatch.org). Grassroots organizations began to form on both sides of the debate concerning same-sex marriage reform. Most discourse research on the issue focuses on the ways in which the media and reform oppositionists (DOMA defenders) use language to display and perpetuate their social and political dominance over the pro-reform...

...In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Subject English IV by Jeison L. Omandam December 01, 2011 INTRODUCTION Political history is the description and analysis of significant political occasions, movements, thoughts, and leaders. Typically it is developed around the nation states. It is distinguished from but relevant to other areas of history such as economic history, social history, and military history. Usually, political history discusses events pertaining to nation-states and the political process in particular. As per Hegelian doctrine, Political History ‘is a perception of the state with a guiding force beyond the material benefits of its subjects: it meant that the state was the root factor of historical change’. This differs with one, for example, social history, which predominantly discusses the events and lifestyles of common folks, or people’s history, that is historical account from the view point of a lay person. A study of political history typically centers on a single nation and its political change and aggrandizement. A few historians highlight the ever increasing drift toward confined specialization in political history over the course of recent decades: ‘wherein a college professor in the 1940s resorted to identify himself as a “historian”, by the 1950s “American historian” was the designation.’ Political history is, therefore, sometimes considered as more ‘traditional’ type of history, contrasting with so called more up-to-date approaches...
