Social media Large–scale sports game always appeal to worldwide spectators. Different from the Olympic Game's sports, it is hard for spectators to
follow the complete out–door sports events. A typical full ironman triathlon will take more than 10 hours to finish the entire route. To engage the
spectators, it is better to follow social media tools: Blogs, Microblogs, Photo sharing, video sharing, Skype and video call.
Promoting the Sharing of Data WTC enables people worldwide to look at any athlete's progress and performance by using Worldwide Interoperability

Second, it is usually difficult for athletes' family and friends to learn athletes' progress in the contest, but the WTC overcame such a difficulty in 1976
by using mobile technology, long–range WIMAX networks, WI–FI–enabled hotpots, and timing technology to enable viewers and fans at home could
see the athletes' progress and performance. Third, Ironman employed RFID technology, called the My Laps Champion Chip, to track each athlete's
progress along the event route and maximize accuracy and safety, which highly improve the WTC's technological competitive advantages. Furthermore,
an Internet CafГ© provided spectators with wireless access to event information and the Ironman LIVE site, which also showed that WTC had great
competitive advantages by using networks and telecommunications creatively.
Disadvantages of WiMAX In the case, we could know that WTC had high–speed broadband connections through WiMAX to track every athlete.
Broadband is the technology of internet connections, which could transmit data at a high speed of over 200 kilobytes. WiMAX technology belongs to

In fact, Frontier Communications filed a lawsuit to prevent implementation of this bill. The bill also calls upon members of the council to explore any
other ways to expand Broadband access across the state. Further, it requires the council members to gather information regarding the actual Broadband
speeds customers were getting and compare them with the advertised rates by the providers. This will ensure that the service providers stick to the
terms they made in their claim while advertising.
Moreover, the bill instructs members to explore the potential for the use of Broadband in education, career development, workforce readiness and other
career training (Eric, 2017).
Furthermore, the members would work towards the expansion of electronic instructions and distance learning. The bill additionally envisages voluntary
pipeline donation program according to which organizations or individuals in the locality owning abandoned pipes would donate them for fiber
placement through the pipes. The bill permits the council to set up a voluntary data collection program wherein the Broadband providers will submit
data regarding data rate meters utilized by the providers. The data collection will not entail personal browsing history or any information that could not
identify a user's IP address or physical location.

b) FCC's idea of open internet.
On December 21, 2010, FCC adopted some rules to preserve the openness of the internet [4]. This Open Internet Order of 2010 divides internet
access into two classes i.e., fixed line providers and wireless providers. The order is more aggressive towards fixed line broadband providers as
compared to wireless providers. The rules were formulated to prevent ISP's from carrying out unlawful practices in blocking the access to the content.
This FCC's idea of open internet follows three specific rules
1. Transparency:
FCC suggests that fixed and mobile broadband providers should publicly disclose accurate information about the network management practices,
performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services. The disclosure should contain all the information necessary for the
consumers to make suitable choices for buying content, service and application [5]. However, the service provider does not need to disclose any
security information or competitively sensitive information [5].

The two companies are locked in a market share grudge match. This almost dead heat competition can leave the door for the smaller competitors like
T–Mobile and Sprint to come in with small possible innovation to unseat Verizon. Also government regulations and rulings have impacted Verizon's
growth. Earlier this year the FCC rejected Verizon's merger with T–Mobile (Kirby, 2012).
Relevant Issues The areas that are the most relevant to the decision to invest would be Verizon's growing 4GLTE network and their limited
international reach. The 4GLTE network shows that Verizon is committed to future growth. International markets are huge opportunities for expansion
and while a large risk, can be a big section for Verizon.
Verizon Stakeholders Verizon Communications' stakeholders fall into two categories, internal and external. Verizon internal stakeholders are their
employees. Verizon's external stakeholders are customers and investors.
Internal Wants and Needs Verizon's employees' wants and needs are a high priority for the company. Verizon asked an independent research firm to
poll people from a wide range of Verizon's organization. The results were very good. According to Verizon's website (2012) "About 4 in 10 consider

Case 3 – Comcast Corporation's Merger with AT&T Broadband
Case Summary
The case study analysis the merger of Comcast and AT&T broadband and the factors that lead to it. The state of cable industry from 1996 is
significant as the Telecom act opened new frontiers for wireless and cable companies which were now vying marketplace in both markets.
The study highlights AT&T's efforts to become a leader in cable business. Their acquisitions and nationwide presence made it an ideal company for
Comcast to merge with. The company in turn provided its capital to support during AT&T's financially lean period. The company allows plans to sort
out problems with AT&T's low profits.
Ultimately the governance and post–integration strategies were a sign of concern as AT&T got major economic and voting power out of merger. The
merged company had the challenging task of improving services by managing technology and finance and also establishing a new brand image.

With the acquisition, Verizon passes this test easily. Verizon's 4G LTE is the fastest data network type available in the U. S. While Cingular has a
mass following on its wireless network, it is not the fastest. With continuing demand for devices to connect wirelessly increasing consumers' mobility,
Verizon's prospects grow. Verizon also gains capabilities that enhance its offering with providing services consumers never knew they needed. It goes
beyond the unlimited data plans now offered from the original shared plans from the beginning. Thinking beyond consumer needs of tomorrow, but
further into the future, Verizon seeks creative ideas by thinking outside the box. It is those paradoxical suggestions, like its 4G LTE, that sustains the
organization. The second test of durability means the resources depreciate slowly (Collis & Montgomery, 2008). From the look of Verizon's network,
the 103 million additional customers, its reputation, and its brand are not depreciable. Verizon delivers quality and reliable service through its network,
building customer loyalty and trust. Its reputation derived from the delivery of quality and reliable service strengthens its brand. As the company

Broadband Companies, The Gatekeepers Of The Internet
Broadband Companies, The Gatekeepers of The Internet. In the early 1990's when the internet was still new there were no regulations on how Internet
Service Providers (ISP's) could operate their broadband networks. Most being major telecommunications companies followed the same regulations that
applied to land line telephones laid out by the Federal Communications Commision. Basically Telecoms could not block, slow, or inhibit in anyway the
connection from one caller to another – neutrality. And generally since then theinternet has been following the same guidelines. But fast forward to
the internet of 2014, and you'll find a very different place. There is so much money to be made on the internet of today. ISPs and companies are
always looking to make a profit in some way. But where does that leave the user?
The internet being a largely unregulated medium in the United States is much like the Wild West, where tech tycoons control its destiny. That's where
the concept of Net Neutrality comes in. The idea that all data traffic over the broadband networks should be treated equally. It's a concept that has
existed largely as unspoken consensus since the birth of the internet. But in our world today, where it seems that every aspect of life has become
monetized, there needs to be clearer regulations to keep the internet open and equal for all.
The argument against Net Neutrality is given by the owners of the broadband networks. Companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, and

In the fast–paced digital era with more and more devices accessing the internet, AT&T would be wise to seek out future trends in technology to gain a
competitive edge. Advances in consumer electronics and wireless technologies combined with consumer preferences, will heavily influence future
profitability for AT&T.
Shifting consumer preferences is another trend that AT&T should monitor for future success. With the explosion of mobile computing, AT&T's
"three–screen integration" strategy that delivers services to a customer's television, PC or mobile device vastly increases their potential in the telecom
market. Providing customers with a single bill and service provider for bundled wireless phone, cable television, and internet services in addition to
anywhere access in terms of IP services is what modern consumers demand as internet connectivity and cellular phone services have become items of
necessity instead of a luxury. AT&Ts U

Spectrum For Wireless Broadband : Old Media Vs New Media
Case: Spectrum for Wireless Broadband: Old Media vs New Media
Question 1 :
As an Apple or Verizon executive, what legislation would you propose to the house and Senate committees to advance the reallocation of spectrum to
wireless broadband? (Deal with the concerns raised by opponents of the reallocation and build broad support for reallocation)
Opponents of the reallocation, mainly broadcasters argued that wireless carriers were not using the spectrum efficiently and they had alternatives to
increase the capacity of the spectrum without reallocation. Gordon H Smith (President of The National Association of Broadcasters(NAB)) said that
more investment in towers and infrastructure and receiving standards could maximize the large range of spectrum already allocated to them. They
also did a study and released its findings that the FCC did not take into account all the various ways that wireless carriers could increase the capacity
of the spectrum they already allocated. They pointed that increase use of femtocells, improved receiver standards and spectrum sharing will do the
purpose. They were also concerned about the fact that the FCC could simply not renew the licenses for the broadcaster`s spectrum and they may just
reallocate the spectrum for wireless broadband carriers. They were also concerned if they sue FCC, but the result may come only after a long time.
Eventhough the spectrum offering by the broadcaster is voluntary, they think it may not the case in reality.

FCC’s Take on IP-Interconnection for VoIP Essay example
VoIP technology provides voice services similar to that of TDM technology over IP based network. VoIP service providers need access to the PSTN
to terminate calls to recipients not subscribed to the VoIP provider's service. They have to pay PSTN operators for call switching and routing to
terminate the calls. The telephony provider has to interconnect its network with other networks in order to deliver numerous customers at home and
offices as well as provide valuable network for businesses. Interconnection results in end–to–end connectivity for provisioning of services to enable
communication. Today's telecommunication networks are moving beyond the traditional PSTN into IP networks which are the next–generation
networks (NGN). PSTN and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
With this paper, I would like to provide a brief overview of IP–interconnection; the issues in IP– interconnection and suggest my views on the possible
measures that FCC could adopt. Understanding Interconnection The current scenario of VoIP requires conversion of IP voice signals to TDM
format to be used over traditional PSTN network. Thus, an interconnection between PSTN and IP is required. However, understanding of
interconnection within PSTN and IP networks will provide a fair idea about the requirements for interconnection in each network. Within PSTN
network, the service layer and transport layer functions are not separate as in case of only IP networks. The physical interconnection for PSTN is
decided by the nature of service to be provided and thus these two functions are interdependent while in IP, the transport and service functions form a
part of separate layers in TCP/IP model. This difference in the basic core structure has to be considered to interconnect these two different kinds of
networks. Figure 1 Interconnection between PSTN and IP based network. Adapted from GSR 2009 (Gelvanovska, Alden, 2009, P.5) The above

Verizon has a positive net profit margin during 2014, 2015 and 2016, indicating that Verizon made more money during that period than it spent. If

net profit margin was 1.20% (I15, W1) and Verizon's net profit margin was 10.42% (H15, W1). This shows that Verizon compared to the industry
average is earning more money than other companies in the same industry and have less expenses compared to the industries average. AT&T has
also shown growth in this area, but has had some ups and downs in the past three years. In 2014 AT&T net profit was 7.92% percent (F30, W1), in

A new generation of broadband satellite constellations promises to provide high speed Internet connectivity to areas not served by optical fiber, cable
or other high speed terrestrial connections. However, using satellite links to supply high bandwidth has been difficult due to problems with inefficient
performance of the Internet's TCP/IP protocol suite over satellite. We describe an architecture for improving the performance of TCP/IP protocols over
heterogeneous network environments, especially networks containing satellite links. The end–to–end connection is split into segments, and the
protocol on the satellite segment is optimized for the satellite link characteristics. TCP congestion control mechanisms are maintained on each segment,
with some coupling between the segments to produce the effect of end–to–end TCP flow control. We have implemented this design and present results
showing that using such gateways can improve throughput for individual connections by a large factor over paths containing a satellite link.

aggressive approach with the government around regulations. He also upgraded the company's broadband network with a high price technology and he
did not evaluate an alternative solution. The strategic plan Peeter's implemented did not achieve the stated profit margins due to limited corporate
investments; he relied on an assumption that Profitel Inc. would acquire the government contract and when that did not happen Peeter should have had

The bill also calls upon members of the council to explore any other ways to expand Broadband access across the state. Further, it requires the council members to gather information regarding the actual Broadband speeds customers were getting and compare them with the advertised rates by the providers. This will ensure that the service providers stick to the terms they made in their claim while advertising. Moreover, the bill instructs members to explore the potential for the use of Broadband in education, career development, workforce readiness and other career training (Eric, 2017). Furthermore, the members would work towards the expansion of electronic instructions and distance learning. The bill additionally envisages voluntary pipeline donation program according to which organizations or individuals in the locality owning abandoned pipes would donate them for fiber placement through the pipes.

On December 21, 2010, FCC adopted some rules to preserve the openness of the internet [4].

The order is more aggressive towards fixed line broadband providers as compared to wireless providers. The rules were formulated to prevent ISP's from carrying out unlawful practices in blocking the access to the content. This FCC's idea of open internet follows three specific rules 1. Transparency: FCC suggests that fixed and mobile broadband providers should publicly disclose accurate information about the network management practices, performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services. The disclosure should contain all the information necessary for the consumers to make suitable choices for buying content, service and application [5].

Basically Telecoms could not block, slow, or inhibit in anyway the connection from one caller to another – neutrality. And generally since then theinternet has been following the same guidelines. But fast forward to the internet of 2014, and you'll find a very different place. There is so much money to be made on the internet of today. ISPs and companies are always looking to make a profit in some way. But where does that leave the user?

The idea that all data traffic over the broadband networks should be treated equally. It's a concept that has existed largely as unspoken consensus since the birth of the internet. But in our world today, where it seems that every aspect of life has become monetized, there needs to be clearer regulations to keep the internet open and equal for all. The argument against Net Neutrality is given by the owners of the broadband networks. Companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Gordon H Smith (President of The National Association of Broadcasters(NAB)) said that more investment in towers and infrastructure and receiving standards could maximize the large range of spectrum already allocated to them. They also did a study and released its findings that the FCC did not take into account all the various ways that wireless carriers could increase the capacity of the spectrum they already allocated. They pointed that increase use of femtocells, improved receiver standards and spectrum sharing will do the purpose. They were also concerned about the fact that the FCC could simply not renew the licenses for the broadcaster`s spectrum and they may just reallocate the spectrum for wireless broadband carriers.

Understanding Interconnection The current scenario of VoIP requires conversion of IP voice signals to TDM format to be used over traditional PSTN network. Thus, an interconnection between PSTN and IP is required. However, understanding of interconnection within PSTN and IP networks will provide a fair idea about the requirements for interconnection in each network. Within PSTN network, the service layer and transport layer functions are not separate as in case of only IP networks. The physical interconnection for PSTN is decided by the nature of service to be provided and thus these two functions are interdependent while in IP, the transport and service functions form a part of separate layers in TCP/IP model.

In the case that it is protected it will prevent a monopoly of the internet which will benefit more than just consumers, but for Verizon the abolishment of the bill will mean opportunity to increase profits through selling the internet since it will no longer be a free utility (Maisto, 2014).

While a wide range of wireline and wireless solutions offering broadband connectivity are or will shortly be available, communication satellites are beginning to emerge as an attractive solution in providing broadband connectivity to a variety of users. The wide area or global coverage of satellites enables service provision to a large number of dispersed users and solve the expensive "last–mile" issue without dedicating to each user cable, fiber, switching equipment ports, etc. The broadcast nature of satellites supports efficiently the transmission of the same message to a large ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A new generation of broadband satellite constellations promises to provide high speed Internet connectivity to areas not served by optical fiber, cable or other high speed terrestrial connections. However, using satellite links to supply high bandwidth has been difficult due to problems with inefficient performance of the Internet's TCP/IP protocol suite over satellite. We describe an architecture for improving the performance of TCP/IP protocols over heterogeneous network environments, especially networks containing satellite links. The end–to–end connection is split into segments, and the protocol on the satellite segment is optimized for the satellite link characteristics. TCP congestion control mechanisms are maintained on each segment, with some coupling between the segments to produce the effect of end–to–end TCP flow control. We have implemented this design and present results showing that using such gateways can improve throughput for individual connections by a large factor over paths containing a satellite link. SAN ANTONIO––(BUSINESS WIRE)––April 24, 2000––The explosion of the Internet in the 1990s and subsequent demand for high–speed Internet connections has put an immense strain on terrestrial communications networks. Consequently, satellite broadband technology is now emerging as an important alternative to land–based services such as cable or DSL. According to strategic research conducted by Frost ...

(McShane & Von Gilnow, 2010, p. 380) Peeters lived up to his reputation as a decisive executive (practical intelligence), he also had a unique "presence" which caused people to pay attention and respect his leadership (emotional intelligence). (McShane & Von Gilnow, 2010, p. 380) Under the leadership of Lars Peeters, Profitel Inc. experienced a decline in share prices by 20% and a decline in employee morale due to layoffs. The company lost the bid on a billion dollar government contract, most likely because of Peeter's aggressive approach with the government around regulations. He also upgraded the company's broadband network with a high price technology and he did not evaluate an alternative solution. The strategic plan Peeter's implemented did not achieve the stated profit margins due to limited corporate investments; he relied on an assumption that Profitel Inc. would acquire the government contract and when that did not happen Peeter should have had a contingency plan. There is no one size fits all approach, Peeters did not adapt to the surroundings of the new company; he used the same strategy from his
