It maintains a large backbone and offers transit and peering links, VPN, leased lines, audio and video conferencing, long distance telephone, managed services, dialup, colocation and VoIP, to customers ranging from individuals to large enterprises and to other carriers.

  • Global Crossing was founded by Gary Winnick and three business associates in 1997 through Pacific Capital Group, Winnick's personal venture group, which had experienced mixed results in its twelve-year history. In 1997, Global Crossing raised $35 million of capital from the CIBC Argosy Merchant Funds (later Trimaran Capital Partners). The heads of the CIBC Argosy Merchant funds were former associates of Winnick from his days in the 1980s as a salesman at Drexel Burnham Lambert under Michael Milken. CIBC would ultimately realize a gain estimated to be $2 billion from its relatively small equity investment in Global Crossing, making it one of the most profitable investments by a financial institution in the 1990s.[

What is globalization - 0 views

  • Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. Globalization is not new, though. For thousands of years, people—and, later, corporations—have been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great distances, such as through the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. In fact, many of the features of the current wave of globalization are similar to those prevailing before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.

Is Google taking over the world wide web? - 0 views

  •  
    This article from the Daily Nation goes over the fact that Google is becoming increasingly large. Google now offers a service that competes with Skype's long distance calling. The apps that Google has makes it more necessary than just an E-mail. Google maps has also made it very hard for other companies to compete with Google.

Wireless - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Wireless communication is the transfer of information over a distance without the use of enhanced electrical conductors or "wires".
  • Wireless operations permits services, such as long range communications, that are impossible or impractical to implement with the use of wires.
  • The term "wireless" should not be confused with the term "cordless", which is generally used to refer to powered electrical or electronic devices that are able to operate from a portable power source (e.g. a battery pack) without any cable or cord to limit the mobility of the cordless device through a connection to the mains power supply.

Optical fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • An optical fiber is a thin, flexible, transparent fiber that acts as a waveguide, or "light pipe", to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fiber optics. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communication. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss and are also immune to electromagnetic interference.
