A Critical Discourse Analysis of the ICT Strategies of the Center for Innovat...Steve Vosloo
This document provides a summary of a critical discourse analysis of ICT strategies from the Center for Innovation in the Western Cape provincial government of South Africa. The analysis examined 5 strategic documents for distortions and examined them based on criteria of truth, clarity, sincerity, and legitimacy. It found evidence of technological determinism, techno-optimism, distortions, omissions, and assumptions of ICTs having inherent value. The analysis sought to expose underlying assumptions and ideologies to improve ICT strategies and implementation.
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) examines how power, dominance, inequality and bias are maintained and reproduced within social contexts through discourse. There are three main models of CDA: Norman Fairclough's Dialectal-Relational Approach analyzes texts, production/interpretation processes, and social conditions in three stages; Teun van Dijk's Socio-Cognitive Approach focuses on the interaction between cognition, discourse and society; Ruth Wodak's Discourse-Historical Approach developed in the Frankfurt School tradition, aims for practical applications through large interdisciplinary research projects.
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) aims to reveal hidden values and perspectives in language use. CDA explores the connection between language and its social/political contexts. Key principles of CDA are that social issues are constructed through discourse, power relations are negotiated in discourse, and ideologies are produced in discourse. CDA analyzes discourse genres, framing, multimodality, identity construction, and texts from the world wide web. Criticisms of CDA include that it does not sufficiently consider reader interpretation or provide systematic textual analysis.

MOSA webinar: Small Cell Networks: Lessons LearnedWi-Fi 360
We would like to invite you to an exclusive webinar entitled 'Small Cell Networks: Lessons Learned', presented by Maravedis-Rethink and featuring our guest speaker Jim Parker, Senior Manager of the Antenna Solutions Group at AT&T, one of the world's most advanced deployers of small cells.
Mr Parker's team is responsible for in-building solutions including small cells, DAS and others, and is a vital element of AT&T's ambitious plan to roll out 40,000 small cells over two years. The first phase of that roll-out is currently taking place, and the webinar will feature some of the earliest insights into the progress of the program, and the lessons learned so far.
With operators round the world formulating their strategies for small cell deployments over the coming years, AT&T's experiences will be eagerly watched. The webinar will offer a unique opportunity to hear about the achievements and challenges so far, and to gain insights into AT&T's future plans in this important area of 3G and 4G roll-out.
Topics will include technology platforms for small cells; neutral hosting; the challenges of the indoor environment; and interworking with other technologies such as Wi-Fi, with an eye to the future HetNet.
These insights will be complemented by key findings from Maravedis-Rethink's MOSA (Mobile Operator Strategy Analysis) and RAN Service analysts. MOSA tracks the top 100 4G operators and their business strategies, and has a per-carrier analysis of small cell deployment plans, among other topics. Meanwhile, the RAN Service tracks worldwide roll-outs of all types of carrier infrastructure, with granular five-year forecasts in areas including metrocells and DAS.
In the webinar, Research Director Caroline Gabriel will share selected highlights from the latest MOSA Quarterly Report and RAN forecasts, including exclusive data in areas such as enterprise wireless and LTE-Advanced.

The document summarizes Bijay Kumar Roy's presentation on Nepal's experience with policy and regulation working group items. It discusses Nepal's perspectives on green technology adoption and wireless network safety. The country's draft broadband policy aims to increase broadband penetration to 15% by 2015 and 30% by 2020. VoIP issues are also examined, including allowing VoIP for international long distance operators and internet telephony for internet service providers. Big concerns around a level playing field and interconnection are noted.
Cloud computing and the low power wide area network (LPWAN) network represent the key infrastructures for developing intelligent solutions based on the internet of things (IoT). However, the diversity of use cases and deployment scenarios of IoT in the different domains makes optimizing IoT-based cloud solutions a major challenge. The cloud solution’s cost increases with the increase in central processing unit (CPU) resources and energy consumption. The optimal use of edge material resources in industrial solutions will reduce the consumption of resources and thus optimize cloud infrastructure costs in terms of resources and energy consumption. The article presents the network and application architecture of an IoT monitoring solution based on cloud services. Then, we study the integration of IoT services based on application placement strategies on the fog cloud compared to the traditional centralized cloud strategy. Simulations evaluate the scenarios with the iFogSim simulator and the analyzed results compare the traditional strategy with the cloud-fog. The results show that cost and energy consumption in the cloud can be significantly reduced by processing the application at the end devices level with respect to the possible limit of CPU processing power for each IoT end device. Latency and network usage respect quality of service constraints in cloud-fog placement for this type of monitoring-oriented IoT application.

FSO: Efficient Connectivity Solution for Campus Area NetworkLaraib Khan
This project proposes using a free space optics (FSO) system as an efficient connectivity solution for the campus area network of the University of Sindh. The document compares FSO to fiber optic networks and finds that FSO has lower installation costs and time while providing high bandwidth connectivity. Simulations show that FSO links can achieve data rates similar to fiber optics over distances up to 2km before signal degradation becomes an issue. Cost estimates indicate that an FSO system would cost approximately 70% less than a comparable fiber optic network for the University of Sindh campus. The project aims to increase awareness of FSO as a feasible alternative to fiber optics for shorter-distance, high-speed data communication in Pakistan.

The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Coach Domenico Tedesco has managed a tactical shakeup and a regular exit for some of the oldest players. Experienced bests remain, not least the 37-year-old Jan Vertonghen in defense, the 32-year-old De Bruyne himself in midfield, and 31-year-old Romelu Lukaku up visible.
Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

Motivation, Problem Area
Digital Divide is a Policy Issue (WEF, 2012)
TZ and RSA ranked 123rd and 72nd in a global networked readiness index
Archaic static spectrum allocation schemes are inefficient
Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM)
Dynamic spectrum access (DSA)-based technologies have a potential to
bridge the digital divide through opportunistic spectrum sharing (i.e.,
space, time and frequency)
Television White Spaces (TVWS) is just one such opportunity
Current research on DSA tends to focus on developed countries
and is not directly relevant to developing region contexts

Research Objectives
Investigate/Identify/Compare/Propose most
appropriate DSM approach for providing wireless
broadband over TVWS
Rural areas contextual constraints include but not limited:
Lack of or no reliable electricity grid
Large geo areas with sparsely spread pop often from low income
brackets
Costly tradional fixed-wireline and wireless infrastracture

Open issues still to be resolved:
How to define technical metrics for DSA policies?
How to protect incumbent licence-holders and public safety
services from potential harmful interference?
How to enforce DSA policies?
How to define metrics for dynamic secondary spectrum
