Broadband is thought of by most people as a fast internet connection. Most people think of a connection as a way to connect to the internet at a home or business. More over a connection that is wired and in someway to the device that’s receiving the internet signal. Now enter the existence of mobile broadband which allows near landline speeds to a mobile device. Mobile broadband gives a user the ability to send and receive data on the go. Data has been able to be transmitted wirelessly for sometime now. The only difference between then and now is the increases in speed that has come with the maturation of technology. There are a few pieces that dictate the speed of a wireless device. One piece is the network at which the wireless signal is traveling on. Secondly, the hardware that’s powering today’s devices is very different from when the technology was first birthed. Technology moves at the speed of lighting and finally internet access is moving at that same speed. Mobile broadband is not just the internet connected wirelessly...

...Imagine monopolizing a service or product of your choice. Discuss how you would go about setting prices for your product or service. My example of monopolized service or product of my choice is Internet cable service. We have many Internet carriers nowadays such as Cox, Comcast,Verizon and AT&T etc. If I can I monopolize Internet service, I would determine the price base on my cost plus desired profit, let’s day 50% profit rate. Since I’m the monopolist in this field, I have the final say about the price, and consumers are the price takers. Considering broadband Internet carriers need to invest huge set-up cost, I would like to charge a little bit higher rate to cover the depreciation expense of the equipment. But I don’t want to overcharge either since regulators usually involve if monopoly price out of track. Select a non-monopolized product or service with which you are familiar and determine how the consumption of that product or service would differ if it were controlled by a monopoly. The imagined example of non-monopolized product or service would be car. We have many car makers such as big three, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and Benz etc. Not mention we have thousands of car dealers across the nation, needless to say, car and its service are non-monopolized. These car makers and dealers compete with each other by lowering the price and cost or exhibiting the new model to lure customers. If there is only one car maker, then it become the monopoly...

It is possible, that a single small firm can produce high-quality wares which are praised by people and very soon other firms, which produce similar wares but of lower quality will possible bankrupt being unable to compete with that one (Howson, Cindy, Successful Business Intelligence 2013). With the run of time that small firm can turn into a great company or corporation and become a leading monopolistic on the market. This is why I have decided to research Time Warner Cable. The history of the company is unlike any other with their cutting edge digital technology, range of home entertainment and information choices for the whole family to enjoy, and superior customer service that demonstrates customer satisfaction is the company's number one priority. In the late 1940s, entrepreneurs using simple antennas an Army surplus coaxial cable created the country's first cable television system and revolutionized the way Americans watched television (Warner Sperling, Cass, The Brothers Warner 2008). More than 70 years later, Time Warner Cable (TWC), the second largest cable provider, owns and manages advanced, well clustered cable systems throughout the United States and is ready to embark on it's next life phase of merging with Charter Communications. With the spread of the medium of television in the years following World War II, entrepreneurs...

...Political: In Singapore, the state has taken on the role of promoter and practitioner of Corporate Social Responsibility, a logical development in view of the dominant role of the government in the local economy. The Economic Development Board Act exists to stimulate the growth, expansion and development of Singapore’s economy. A good example of the role the Singapore government has played in fostering economic growth is the Changi airport and the Singapore Airlines. The Singapore government investment and holding company, Temasek Holdings is the majority shareholder with 54% shareholding of the Singapore Airlines. However, the Singapore government has regularly stressed its non-involvement in the management of the company. The Singapore government also owns Changi Airport that was developed in 1975 to replace the Paya Lebar Airport. Both of these enterprises have become enormously successfully and are a good example of the thoughtful and forward-looking economic policies promoted by the Singapore government. Singapore is an enterprise friendly country. The government has set ups several organizations in helping the business in a very systematic way: 1. Regulation Structure (a)Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI): It’s mission is to make Singapore a leading global city of talent, enterprise and innovation. Its mission is to promote economic growth and create jobs, so as to achieve higher standards of living for all. The vision of the Ministry of Trade and Industry...

...millions of dollars into the nation's telecommunications and broadband infrastructure. The reason? To stay ahead in today's broadband economy. As a developed country we are heavily reliant on these infrastructures as they have significant impact on our economy. Investing now to provide for present and future generations is essential in making sure New Zealand stays on track economically and socially as the world continues to develop and focuses more on technology. In this essay I will cover a selection of sectors including New Zealand’s major providers of internet and telecommunications network, radio and television broadcast providers and the government's UFB (Ultra Fast Broadband) and RBI (Rural Broadband Initiative) initiatives. An analysis of each sector will be conducted on its potential benefit on businesses and communities, how these technologies are converging and its implications, emerging consumer trends, recommendations and an examination of overseas technologies and its possible implementation in New Zealand.

...TELECOMMUNICATIONS: THE BATTLE OF THE INDUSTRIES April 24, 1999 Econ 635 There have been many changes in the way telecommunication companies have been doing business- not only to satisfy the needs of the consumer, but to compete with other telecommunication services, too. Advances in technology have led to the integration of several telecommunication services which enter a home through existing copper wires or newer optical lines. New laws are even allowing companies to merge or acquire smaller companies for the purpose of increasing their leverage in the market. Cable Industry Currently, the cable industry relies heavily on the use of coaxial cable to transmit its signals, through radio waves, to consumers. This is the cable that is already installed in millions of homes throughout the country. However, compared to other recent technological advances, the coaxial cable has many set backs to overcome. First, the number of signals that it can transmit simultaneously is limited. Second, the signal transmitted by the cable gets worse as distance increases. As an additional option, fiber optics have emerged which can carry hundreds of video, data and voice channels. I will go into further detail on fiber optics later in my research. This traditional cable responded by implementing the use of digital compression. Digital compression allows a broadcaster to squeeze in more channels of programming in each single coaxial cable, although picture quality diminishes...

...Personal Computers on the Internet The differences between Internet and Network Connections A PC makes a direct connection to a network by way of a network adapter, which might be a network port embedded on the motherboard or a network interface card (NIC). The adapter might also be an external device connecting to the PC using a USB port, SCSI external port, or a serial port. The adapter might provide a port for a network cable or an antenna for a wireless connection. (Andrews, Ph.D, n.d.). Local Area Network (LAN) is an example of a network connection. This covers a local area such as a home, office, or other building or a small group of buildings. The Ethenet is the most popular network architecture used today. The three variations of Ethernet are primarily distinquished from one another by speed. A single computer or local network connects to the Internet by way of an Internet service provider (ISP) using one of the following bandwidth technologies: • Regular telephone lines. The most common and least expensive way to connect to an ISP, requires an internal or external modem. • Cable modem. Just as with cable TV, cable modems are always connected. Cable modem is an example of broadband media. Broadband refers to any type of networking medium that carries more than one type of transmission. With a cable modem, the TV signal to your television and the data signals to your PC share the same cable. • DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a group of broadband technologies that covers...
