Download or read book Residential Broadband written by Kim Maxwell and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated analysis of the technologies, markets, and business of Residential Broadband In thirty years, the worldwide market for high-speed information services to the home will reach SI trillion. This book explains how and why. Beginning with tutorials and a few touches of history to position residential broadband today, this essential guide examines how competing technologies will struggle for supremacy in a chaotic market. It stakes out the battles between ADSL and cable modems, IP and ATM, telephone companies and CATV companies, televisions and personal computers, and professional applications and consumer applications. It does so with reverence for none-some will win and some will lose as the market emerges over the next decade or so. Our guide is kim Maxwell, an entrepreneur and executive who has spent twenty-five years inventing ways to make communications technologies and markets fit together. His analysis takes some surprising turns: * The Internet will not be the dominant network for residential broadband. * Despite its current power, IP may over time give way to ATM for residential broadband. * Cable modems have the early lead, but the DSL tortoise will catch up. * Fiber to the Home and the Information Superhighway are at least fifteen years away and depend upon HDTV. * Despite regulatory intentions, residential networking will return to a monopoly within thirty years. * Computers and televisions will not converge. * Ethernet will dominate home networking. * Video-on-demand will not be a viable market for at least five years. * In the long run. Consumer applications such as shopping and entertainment will dominate the more near-term applications for Internet access and telecommuting. * But, the market can only begin with the personal computer and its natural applications-Internet access and telecommuting.
Download or read book Broadband written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-02-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadband communication expands our opportunities for entertainment, e-commerce and work at home, health care, education, and even e-government. It can make the Internet more useful to more people. But it all hinges on higher capacity in the "first mile" or "last mile" that connects the user to the larger communications network. That connection is often adequate for large organizations such as universities or corporations, but enhanced connections to homes are needed to reap the full social and economic promise. Broadband: Bringing Home the Bits provides a contemporary snapshot of technologies, strategies, and policies for improving our communications and information infrastructure. It explores the potential benefits of broadband, existing and projected demand, progress and failures in deployment, competition in the broadband industry, and costs and who pays them. Explanations of broadband's alphabet soup â€" HFC, DSL, FTTH, and all the rest â€" are included as well. The report's finding and recommendations address regulation, the roles of communities, needed research, and other aspects, including implications for the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Download or read book Achieving Last Mile Broadband Access with Passive Optical Networking Technology written by Jason L. Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary challenges in today's computer networking world is providing enough bandwidth to achieve true broadband access in the local, or last-mile, access network. Over the course of the last decade or so, there has been a tremendous increase in the bandwidth of the core network in the U.S. In fact, a substantial portion of this core network, which primarily consists of fiber optic technology, is unused. This is primarily due to the lack of bandwidth in the last-mile access network. The last- mile access network of today primarily consists of technologies (e.g. digital subscriber line and cable modem access) that rely on infrastructures designed to carry voice and cable television signals. As a result, consumers are not able to enjoy true broadband services. This thesis discusses and analyzes the use of passive optical networking (PON) technology as possibly the best solution to today's last-mile bottleneck. General PON technology concepts and details concerning the two primary PON technologies, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) PONs and Ethernet PONs, are discussed. The application of PON technology in achieving fiber to the home, using both PON-only and PON-hybrid infrastructures, is also described. Finally, the current PON business market and regulatory factors are discussed and analyzed.
Download or read book The Tragedy of the Last Mile written by Jacob Malone and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of the Internet has constrained broadband networks, forcing service providers to search for solutions. We develop a dynamic model of daily usage during peak and non-peak periods, and estimate consumers' price and congestion sensitivity using high frequency usage data. Using the model estimates, we calculate usage changes associated with different economic and technological solutions for reducing congestion, including peak-use pricing, throttling connectivity speeds, and local-cache technologies. We find that peak-use pricing combined with local-cache technology is the most effective way to shift activity from peak to non-peak periods.

Download or read book Effective Distribution of High Bandwidth to the Last Mile written by David V. Kwok and published by . This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid 1990s, Internet is revolutionizing the way business is conducted around the globe. Bandwidth- intensive graphics, video and audio applications are becoming more popular and the desire for fast access to information places a huge demand on high bandwidth in metro networks. The primary bottleneck in the quest for delivering high bandwidth to the customers is the last mile. The last-mile of today primarily relies on infrastructures that were not designed for the transport of digital data. The current infrastructure of twisted pair is very close to its upper limits As a result, consumers are unable to enjoy the full potential of the Internet and generally do not have access to enhanced services such as enriched multimedia services, converged voice, video, and data services and high-speed Web browsing. This thesis assesses a broad spectrum of wired and wireless last mile technologies available - Optical Fiber Technology, Digital Subscriber Lines, Free Space Optics, Wireless Local Loop, Wireless LAN and Cellular Technology. Besides discussing the basic concepts and principles, it highlights the current limitations of these technologies for last mile implementation. An innovative and state-of-the-art methodology for linking building with optical fiber to achieve high bandwidth through sewer systems is presented.
