Video boom threatens to gridlock the internet - 0 views

  •  
    In this article the stakeholders are worried about the internet connectivity. Since many people are using it today as we speak they are watching videos, tv shows, listening to music from the Internet, and many others and would be known as stakeholders. The issue here is the reliability of the hardware. In the article it states that the copper wires that were initially put for calling which only required voice. Now it has increased with much more and in order for the internet connectivity to increase there needs to be more of a solution than fiber optic cables since it was not planted in to the ground before. The IT systems that requiring so much internet speeds are computers, mobile devices, computers within the doctors office, and many other. For tele medicine to continue there needs to sufficient or reliable internet connectivity. For instance, say a doctor wanted to help out another doctor in India. For the doctor in America it wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. If the hospital did not have its own secure internet then it would have taken a long time since other internet connectors are using it to download and upload video,stream live music, and much more. The point here is that for one to have accessibility in the internet connectivity there needs to be globalization. Globalization will help increase and satisfy almost everyone's needs.

EU to Allow Cell-Phone Use on Airplanes - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News - FOXNews.com - 1 views

  •  
    Airlines and EU officials said the security risk will be minimized because the system will not connect inflight phones directly to the ground - instead using an onboard base station to link up to a satellite and then to ground networks. "It has to go through a central onboard cellular network that can be switched off by the captain at any moment, so that enhances the security of the passengers," said EU spokesman Martin Selmayr. He added that for safety and security concerns the phone services will not be available during takeoff, landing or during turbulence.

  • He dismissed suggestions that the service might annoy people hoping for quiet
  • "Our request to the airlines is not to forget the people who don't want it and try to bring in a code of practice to limit disruption to other passengers by only allowing its use at certain times of the flight, for example."
    • Madeline Brownstone
       
      The potential for disruption is indeed acknowledged.
  •  
    This article suggests that people on phones would NOT be annoying. I doubt that. I think the phones would be a good money maker and that's all they care about. Although, there are plans on limiting the number of calls that can be simultaneouslly placed.

    "Obama Signs Executive Order Limiting Text Messaging for On-The-Job Government Employees Monday, November 23rd, 2009 On September 30, 2009, the Obama administration ordered a ban on texting for all government employees while driving on the job or driving government-owned vehicles. Studies show that talking on a cell phone causes almost 25% of all car accidents. Already, seven states have banned any cellphone use while driving, 18 states have banned texting while driving, and 17 states have made it illegal for school bus drivers to use cellphones while driving. This is all great news for U.S. drivers since last year distracted drivers caused nearly 6,000 deaths in this country alone. The administration is considering additional restrictions on cellphone use by rail, truck and bus drivers."
