Driving For Better Broadband

The Alcatel Broadband For All survey had interviewed 2,850 broadband router in cybercafs kuala lumpur travel guide early high speed internet phone register streamyx by phone across Brazil, Russia, Egypt, Kenya, India, China and in major towns in Malaysia. A total of 300 people in cybercafs were surveyed face-to-face plus 100 online surveys of new broadband users in the city.

Of those questioned in cuti-cuti malaysia 35% said they were very interested in broadband, another 35% were quite interested, 13% were not very interested and 14% were not interested.

Driving broadband adoption requires proper public broadband plus streamyx adequate and relevant content, user awareness and expertise, service affordability and accessibility. Telecommunication policy makers, content providers, the public education system and network service providers all have roles. For instance, the Jordanian government sponsored Jordan Telecom to connect all schools.

Service providers in broadband high-growth economies can leapfrog to the latest IP-based cable internet providers langkawi malaysia WiMAX and even go further by moving beyond the mobile/fixed divide to fixed-mobile convergence.

Innovative public services, like community-centered services for schools, hospitals, hotel langkawi halls, cooperatives and internet access shops could help increase broadband access, while the other is shared costs of mobile broadband development.

Operators need to expand the broadband footprint for mass-market access and combine different broadband access technologies. Technologies like ADSL2+ and VDSL 2 can be used in urban areas. ADSL2+ is an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard which doubles data rates of traditional ADSL to 24Mbps download, 1Mbps upload.

VDSL2 (Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2, a.k.a. ITU-T G.993.2) is the newest and most advanced DSL broadband standard designed to support wide deployment of triple play services like voice, video, data, high definition television (HDTV) and interactive malaysia asia at speeds up to 200Mbps, though speeds drop rapidly to 100Mbps at 500 meters and 50Mbps at 1km and from broadband dsl onwards, its speed is comparable to ADSL 2+.

Because of these relatively short streamyx dsn FTTN (Fiber to the Node) can be used with these technologies to serve sub-urban areas by running fiber up to a streamyx configure in the locality and continuing over copper pairs into homes.

3G without HSDPA, can be used to serve urban and sub-urban areas at low data rates, 2G for urban and streamyx technical areas with low data rates and WiMAX can serve sub-urban and remote areas with high data rates.

For service providers, this means lots of transformation but in emerging countries with little or no legacy networks, they can jump straight to these technologies.

For instance, China Netcom has the biggest next-generation network in the world, while Telecom Slovakia threw out its legacy electro-mechanical crossbar switches and replaced them with an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) - ready network, needed for fixed-mobile convergence, video conferencing and interoperability between mobile communications and the internet.

Alcatel's strategic is to partner with operators to provide broadband services in 120 countries and it can help provide them with hosting and managed applications.

For instance, Alcatel provides several operators in Dakar with managed applications like ring-back tones and a shared platform on a pay-per-use business model, in Nigeria it manages balance checking and funds transfer from mobile phones, while in the Middles East and Africa, it provides Dallah Telecom with soccer content from FIFA.

MARCH 18 - Thirty years ago, when Liverpool won their 11th league title under Bob Paisley, the most successful manager in the history of the cheap hotel they achieved it using 15 players.

Four of them (Ray Clemence, Kenny Dalglish, Ray Kennedy and Phil Neal) played all 42 league games in a season when they lost just four times in the league, scoring 85 goals and conceding just 16.

Of those 15 players, some barely got a look in as Paisley sent out the same team, winning the league in old money by eight points.
