Requiring only half the bitrate of its predecessor, the new standard – HEVC or H.265 – will significantly reduce the need for bandwidth and expensive, limited spectrum. HEVC (H.265) will enable the launch of new video services and in particular ultra HD television (UHDTV).
State-of-the-art video compression techniques – HEVC/H.265 – can reduce the size of raw video by a factor of about 100 without any noticeable reduction in visual quality. With estimates indicating that compressed real-time video accounts for more than 50 percent of current network traffic, and this figure is set to rise to 90 percent within a few years, HEVC/H.265 will be a welcome relief for network operators.
New services, devices and changing viewing patterns are among the factors contributing to the growth in video traffic as people watch more and more traditional TV and video-streaming services on their mobile devices.
Ericsson has been heavily involved in the standardization of HEVC since it began in 2010, and this Ericsson Review article highlights some of the contributions that have led to the compression efficiency offered by HEVC.

CDMA2000 is a 3G mobile technology standard approved by the ITU in 1999. It provides improved voice quality and high-speed data access compared to 2G technologies. CDMA2000 includes CDMA2000 1X for voice and low-speed data, and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO for high-speed data. 1xEV-DO has been deployed since 2002 and delivers speeds up to 2.4 Mbps, with later revisions promising even higher speeds. CDMA2000 is widely deployed worldwide and benefits from features like backward compatibility, high capacity, and an evolutionary upgrade path for operators.
Business prospect of launching blackberry with video calling in CDMAPranita Mehta
The document discusses the prospects of launching a Blackberry smartphone with video calling capabilities in the CDMA network. It provides details on the CDMA and GSM technologies, including their advantages and disadvantages. It then compares the two networks specifically in terms of video calling facilities. It determines that GSM networks have faster data speeds and stronger support for video calling compared to CDMA. Therefore, the document concludes that launching a Blackberry with video calling in CDMA networks would not be a successful business prospect due to CDMA's limitations for video capabilities compared to GSM.
Huawei July 2010 Corporate Presentation(V11)hubfer

There are two main competing cellular network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Major carriers like Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile use one or the other. Understanding the differences between GSM and CDMA will help consumers choose a carrier that best fits their needs.
CDMA is a wireless communication technology that allows multiple users to share the same frequency band simultaneously through the use of unique codes. It has seen significant advancements over the years like 3G and 4G that improved data speeds and coverage. CDMA uses coding to differentiate users and offers improved call quality and capacity compared to GSM, which uses time division and has better international roaming. CDMA has been used in cellular phones, wireless internet, satellite communication, and military/government systems.
In 2002, Liberty Technologies, then exclusively an infrastructure provider to ISPs in Panama, was assigned a portion of the 3.5-GHz spectrum by the Panamanian government. Liberty launched a residential network service based on Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) wireless networking technology. The company determined that deploying a wired or cable service would be prohibitively expensive and would not allow for a competitively priced broadband service. Instead, a wireless network could be deployed quickly and inexpensively and had a promising future as a WAN access technology.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

QUALCOMM is committed to continuous learning for its people and is strongly
connected to the community at large. With two former professors among its
founders, the Company has long appreciated the fact that investing in training and
education is essential for corporate growth and competitive advantage in a business
where knowledge is the principal currency. To that end, QUALCOMM is comprised
of an exceptionally well-educated work force of 6,500 people who come from over
100 different countries and speak more than 50 different languages. That diversity
and focus on continuous learning is really central to the spirit of QUALCOMM.
