DSL VS CABLE
The market for interactive home video services via x.DSL and Cable offer consumers a variety of opportunities over a high-speed connection. Each service, with its own advantages, share one important factor that consumers value most; high quality service at relatively low costs. Although, currently both technologies are in competition with each other, eventually one will prevail creating a standard for interactive home video.
The first service to be analyzed is x.DSL or Digital Subscriber Line. DSL is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. xDSL refers to different variations of DSL, such as ADSL, HDSL, and RADSL. Assuming your home is close enough to a telephone company central office that offers DSL service, you would be eligible to receive data at rates up to 6.1 megabits per second, enabling continuous transmission of motion video, audio, and even 3-D effects. It is most likely that individual connections will provide from 1.544 Mbps to 512 Kbps downstream and about 128 Kbps upstream. DSL assumes digital data does not require change into analog form and back. Thus a huge bottleneck is prevented which is normally the issue with analog transmission from local phone companies. Digital data is transmitted to your computer directly as digital data and this allows the phone company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to you. A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals and the data part of the line is continuously connected. Compaq, Intel, and Microsoft working with telephone companies, have developed a standard and easier-to-install form of ADSL called G.Lite that is expected to accelerate deployment. DSL has pretty much replaced ISDN in many areas. Dataquest, a market research firm, forecasts 5.8 million lines installed by the end of the century.
Installation of DSL requires that a signal splitter be installed at the home. This requires the expense of a phone company visit and installation. However, it is possible to manage the splitting remotely from the central office. Next a DSL modem is required for modulation. DSL modems are using Discrete Multitone Technology (DMT), Carrierless Amplitude Modulation (CAP) and Multiple Virtual Line (MVL) for modulating. To interconnect multiple DSL users to a high-speed backbone network, the ...

* Effective Download Speed reflects the actual online performance as reported by customers. While the various technologies may be capable of much higher data rates, under typical web browsing conditions the internet operates at 500 kbps or less. The bottom line is that many of these high speed technologies can pump data as fast as the internet can handle.
The ideal service in my opinion for the present time is CATV. However, considering the future of x.DSL and the proposed upgrade to VDSL, would suggest that x.DSL is the ideal option. If VDSL is ever implemented, it will combine all multimedia services into one including voice and video services. However the most important concept of x.DSL technology is the fact that a dedicated circuit will provide exceptional service to each user. This is bottlenecking is very prone to occur with CATV in the future and most users will not be satisfied when their high speed connection slows to a crawl. Cost is the same as CATV at only $50-60 a month for high-speed connectivity. Therefore the choice for the interactive home video service should be x.DSL.

As a conclusion, Rwanda and Bosnia genocide was about ethnic conflicts for gaining power or for land, mass murders, area destructions, civilians deaths, hiding evidence and many more. Also genocide has different stages to categories its specification such as classification, symbolisms, discrimination, dehumanization, extermination, preparation and many more. As the end of genocide there were deaths of some ethnic groups too which are hardly found or known as minority groups. We should further inspire and encourage future world people to prevent such a tragedy like the Rwanda and Bosnia and other genocide conflict from ever happening again.
Genocide is the act of killing a lot of people depending on their race, ethnicity, and religion. There are 8 stages of genocide which include extermination and denial. The victims of the Bosnian genocide consists of elders, women, men, children, and even babies. The Bosnian genocide is a war between Bosnian Serbians and Bosnian Muslim to which republic can control Bosnia. Many Serbains deny the fact that his genocide even happened even though there is scientific proof that this genocide happened. The purpose of learning genocide is so we are informed and we won't let it happen again.
The United Nations did not prevent that future genocide. Sadly, there are many genocides that occurred after the Holocaust (i.e. the Bosnian genocide) despite the term “never again”. Many countries refuse to intervene and help the people suffering in the genocide for their own selfish reasons. They don't want to send their troops or help with food and necessities because of the possible financial impact to their own country. However, once the people committing the genocide multiply and pose a threat to more countries, the international community must help in order to prevent the genocide from entering their own countries. The world didn't get involve in both the Holocaust and the Bosnian genocide until the German empire and the Serbs in Bosnia, respectively, became very powerful and dangerous to the surrounding areas. The only way to prevent genocide is to destroy it on impact and not wait for six million to perish
To start off with, what is genocide? Genocide is the killing of a massive number of people of in a group. Genocide has not only been practices in the present day, but it has been practiced for m...
Genocide, the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group. From 1992-1995 that was happening in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, conflict between the three main ethnic groups, the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims, resulted in genocide committed by the Serbs against the Muslims in Bosnia.
Alice in Wonderland is a Disney film that is different from all the others. It was released in 1951, similar to Cinderella, and helped the world get over the war. It is the 13th film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series and is one of Mr. Disney’s favorites. Alice is a bit younger than most female Disney characters, about seven or eight. Most of the other Disney movie’s offer a world where the character had no control on what was in it, however Alice gets to live in her own Wonderland. She is a very adventurous child and wants to discover what is around her, testing her imagination. Alice learns many lessons and values that most young children should learn and use in their own lives. Most of the Disney movies have many valuable lessons that can be related to everyday life.
Thesis: Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina have been internationally recognized as independent entities of Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro) since 1992. Even though these nation-states are all independent of one another, the international community refuses to see them as such. The resulting impact of the lack of recognition has added fuel to the fire that has been raging between these nation-states for decades, and the number of victims that have been unfortunately involved continue to grow. Allen directly addresses the indifference of the international community in Rape Warfare and how it contributes to the ‘ethnic’-genocide that is occurring in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. “Never comfort yourself with the thought that because the worst things
During this decade, Disney also began to create full length animated feature films and the first of the films was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which premiered in 1937. Snow White was very successful and became the highest grossing film of its time before being beaten by Gone With the Wind. More projects were scheduled, but as World War II began, the company began to lose customers which made it hard to create expensive films. During the war years the films Fantasia, Pinocchio, Dumbo and Bambi were created as well as many propaganda and military training
A high speed Internet connection is required to stream video. The Netflix Help Center recommends an Internet connection speed of 5.0 Megabits per second (Mbps) for HD video ("Internet Connection Speed Recommendations") Today most American households have access to broadband speeds capable of high-definition video. According to Anne Neville of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, 98% of Americans have access to broadband speeds of six megabits per second and 83% to speeds of twenty five Mbps or more (Neville). These speeds are more than adequate for HD quality video streaming. With the current broadband initiatives in place this should continue to improve in coming years, along with the possibility of even greater speeds. Beginning in November 2013, Cox Communications began offering increased Internet connectio...
Cable Modems in the Workplace Until recently, small businesses could not afford T-1 service to connect to the network. The recent advent of cable modems has provided a cheaper alternative to this problem. Cable operators have primarily targeted consumers in their initial cable modem rollouts. Multiple System Operators (MSOs) are now selling higher priced broadband Internet services to the corporate customer. The question is, does cable modem technology provide the optimum service for a medium sized company that is dependent on the Internet for data computing and research?
From the beginning, efficiency and speed in the telecommunications industry has advanced at a fast pace owing to fiber optic technology. In 1979, AT&T filled the telecommunications industry with revolutionary ideas by developing a mode for data transmission using a light, called fiber optic cable. This mode produced a bandwidth of 44.736 Mbps and could multiplex 672 trunk circuits on one fiber alone (Cole, M. 2000). However, this development was merely the start of a huge extension to telecommunications, something that would transform the industry constantly.
Digital Subscriber Line new technology that takes advantage of standard copper telephone line to provide secure, reliable, high-speed Internet access. DSL refers to the family of digital subscriber line technologies, such as ADSL, HDSL, and RADSL. Connection speed for DSL ranges from 1.44 Mbps to 512 Kbps downstream and around 128 Kbps upstream. Unlike traditional connections DSL such as analog modems and IDSN, DSL deliver continuous “always on” access. That means multimedia-rich websites, e-mail, and other online applications are available anytime. DSL makes it possible for you to remain online even while you’re talking on the telephone-without jeopardizing the quality of either connection. DSL is available in a spectrum of speeds. Some are best home use, while others are designed to accommodate rigorous business demands. Whether for business or the home, DSL, offers unsurpassed price/performance value compared to other online options. There are the five facts that one should know about DSL. It is remarkably fast. With DSL service, you can benefit from Internet speeds that are up to 12 minutes faster than a typical ISDN connection and 50 times faster than traditional 28.8 Kbps modems. This means that in the 12 seconds it takes to read this information, you could have downloaded a 2 megabyte presentation file or web photograph. It would take 10 more minutes (600 more seconds!) to download the same with a traditional 28.8 Kbps. It’s highly reliable. One can depend on DSL because its proven technology takes full advantage of the existing telecommunications infrastructure. It’s inherently secure. DSL network provides a dedicated Internet connection via private telephone wires, you can bypass dial-up intruders or shared network hackers. Unlike traditional dial-upp modems or cable modems. DSL protects your valuable data with the most secure connection available. It’s surprising affordable. DSL is widely recognized as the most cost-effective connectivity solution for small buisness. DSL delivers industrial- strength like speed to multiple users at only 25% of typical TI costs. There is no better price option available. DSL is also an exceptional value for home users. At about $2 a day for services that meets the needs of most people. The connection is always on. It’s ready to run every minute of the day. There’s no more logging on and off. No more busy signals or disconnects. This gives you the freedom to focus on what you want to accomplish on line rather than focusing on trying to get connected.
