Abstract
This paper briefly examines this article that discusses the problems facing the technology market at present. The writer claims that the article lacks substance - that as a descriptive article it would be perfect, as an argumentative one it fails. The main part of the article discusses the debate that surrounds the progress of broadband technology in the future. The authors present the four main groups, which have a stake in the ultimate result of the broadband legislatures that will be created by the government.

From the Paper
"The authors focus on Rep. W.J. "Billy" Tauzin's the Louisiana Republican, who is also the Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and his bill that requires Telecommunications Act of 1996 to change giving Baby Bells, the telephone companies that control the regional markets more independence on issues related with broadband. Covering a wide spectrum of the debate the writers give the complete and concise interpretation of the issues that concern the various stakeholders who are involved in the paradigm. Contending that these stakeholders are basically the cable television companies, regional phone-service providers, competitive telecom firms, and wireless and satellite companies they suggest exactly why each is so involved in the outcome of the debate and legislature under question."

Abstract
This paper on mobility pattern and broadband networks focuses on the fast transfer rate of information either wireless or wirelined via broadband network services and the underlying technologies which make possible the achievement of large range of bandwidth. This paper also reviews the grade of service for different mobility patterns and the services provided by this technology in accordance to geographical locations, different buildings and static users.

Abstract
This paper discusses how although providing ubiquitous broadband access to all Canadian communities has been a pet project of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) since at least 2001, independent analysis does not support the viability of the prospect. The paper further discusses how the liberal government began stressing the issue in that year under the banner of making Canada the most wired nation in the world at the forefront of advances in the telecommunication industry (Grace, 2001). However, the potential for successfully achieving such a goal is limited.

Abstract
This is a technical work where the author discusses new, cutting edge technologies and their possible application for interplanetary communication. Specifically, the author refers to broadband communications technologies and the recent development of nanowire technology that enables the construction of microscopically thin cables, which, because of their extreme sensitivity and the great distance of interplanetary space, hold great potential for the development of new communication devices and technologies.

From the Paper
"The design of the MIT photo-detector is relatively simple from an engineering standpoint (see Appendix for diagram of the photo-detector). This is especially true considering the high degree of efficiency it is capable of producing. Of course, the simplicity of the design belies the significant calibration the device requires: the nanowire must be cooled to almost absolute zero, the glass gap of the photon trap must be a very specific function of the wavelength of incoming photons, and the use of an anti-reflective coating on the surface of the device is critical. The design consists of a photon trap with a nanowire detector followed by a gap of glass, and then a mirrored surface. The nanowire is wrapped in a tight coil in order to maximize its absorption of incoming photons, and the nanowire is cooled to close to absolute zero, three degree Kelvin to be precise, which transforms the nanowire into a very small superconductor. As a superconductor, the nanowire responds in specific ways to photons that impact the nanowire allowing for detection."

"The current frontier of high speed internet technology and digital communications is broadband. Although it has been available for several years now to both homes and businesses, broadband has not spread as rapidly as some proponents of the technology had hoped or expected, leading to the failure of some companies involved in this business. What is broadband, and what is its future? These are questions that are taking on increasing importance as broadband usage is finally increasing around the world. Of equal importance is which broadband technology will survive and how telecommunications regulations in this country will impact the digital world."

Abstract
This paper explains the trends used for managing compensation, using broadband for salary administration, how broadband improves pay for performance, how broadband should drive organizational change, how broadbands are used for small portion of employees, how broadbands increases payroll costs and decrease control, the benefits of broadbands and why do employee like broadbands.

Abstract
The writer of this paper shows how Broadband is a way to explain how the Internet will embark from the traditional online connection into the freeway of the information system, the combination of digital and fiber optic technology. The paper studies the history of Broadband, its uses and advantages and its use in today's Internet world. Finally, the paper shows - graphically too - the part that broadband will play in the future, both from the Internet and business points of view.

From the Paper
"Compared to dial-up modem, the broadband technology could do it much faster, in seconds. Cable modem, wireless, and DSL provides around ten times faster connections compared to dial-up modem, in any capacity the modem has. With the use of cable modem, such large-filed applications like games and movies can also be viewed and played through the original speed and convenience. It is also possible to do the download, browsing, and checking email click-by-click at the same time without any frustrating trouble of logging in and disconnecting from the ISP."

Abstract
The paper explains the term community broadband and outlines the strategy and history behind having municipal Wi-Fi in the US. The paper explores the issues behind the difficulty to implement municipal Wi-Fi and the overall current status of the community broadband issue with regards to US national policy. The paper concludes with an educated guess as to what will happen with community broadband implementation in the future.

From the Paper
"Throughout this course, we discussed the electric, natural gas, telecommunications, airlines, cable TV, and ambulance service industries. In looking at these, one can arguably say that most are classified as "critical needs" for communities to survive and proper. All these industries have one thing in common: they are or have been, at one time, regulated because of the potential monopoly power they have or had over the consumer. These critical needs are provided to the public and payments for these services fall in line with the intent behind rate designs. We learned that rate designs have the four objectives of efficiency, equity, conservation, and reasonableness of the actual cost of service and value of service to the customer. We also learned that telephone service and electricity, for instance, has a mechanism within rate structures called "lifeline rates"."

Abstract
This essay examines the high-speed communication network. The author investigates the use of and demand for broadband network services, its advantages and disadvantages, the technologies used in providing broadband services and the growing need for this technology.

From the Paper
"Traditionally, large corporations or government departments used broadband network services. They used to avail these services by means of ISDN or high speed T1 or T3 lines. However, with the advancement in information technology, a number of high technology services are becoming wide spread. Although, general consumers still do not have direct access to high-speed networks but several service providers are delivering less costly and high-speed services to the general consumers. They are using the cable technology for this purpose. In addition to this, some new entrants in the market are also offering more advanced services to the general consumer such as the Digital Subscriber Line."
