Abstract
This paper looks at one particular piece of the changing technology puzzle ?the ways in which cable television has become increasingly sophisticated through the incorporation of a number of different types of technology. Specifically, this paper focuses on the efforts of Comcast to become the nation?s leading cable television outlet, in part through its acquisition last year of the telephone company AT&T.
From the Paper
"While most of us probably still think of cable and telephone service as being distinct from each other, in fact over the past decade they have become more and similar to each other as entertainment and information services like cable television have come to rely more and more heavily on the transmission capabilities of phone lines ? and as phone companies have become more and more diverse in the technological capabilities that they have to offer."

From the Paper
"During the 1980s, cable television became a major feature of American popular culture. Cable ceased to be simply an extension of broadcast TV service, and provided new types of channels, such as Cable News Network, Home Box Office, MTV, and others. The 1984 Cable Act removed a tangle of earlier regulation, but left local cable systems' rates and service largely unregulated.
The cable situation produced in 1984 led to two controversies, one regarding obscenity, the other regarding rates and services. The obscenity controversy was addressed by a measure introduced in 1985, but the measure did not pass, and the cable obscenity issue faded. Allegations of excessive rates and poor service from local cable companies, however, led to widespread public complaints."

From the Paper
" Ever since the first broadcast television signals were retransmitted via wire from well-placed master antennas to the residents of Astoria, Oregon, and Lansford, Pennsylvania, in early 1949, cable television has been tied to the history of telegraphy and telephony in the United States. The primary undisputed function of cable television from its infancy has been to deliver a viewable television picture to subscribers in areas which are geographically or economically (from the broadcaster's perspective) isolated from the reception of normal broadcast television transmissions.
As technology improves, cable television is assuming functions which have long since taken it from the realm of simply delivering a handful of relatively local TV stations to providing two-way, interactive services including access to the Internet.."

"So are these two technologies expensive? I guess that depends on your meaning of expensive. The cost of cable modems depends on the way it is purchased. "Most users rent the modems from the cable company for just a few dollars, just as they rent their cable boxes. An Ethernet Card is required for a cost of $50.00 or so, and most companies have an installation charge of fifty to one hundred dollars.'"

Discussion
From the Paper
"Bluetooth technology could have had its beginning n the 10th century when Harold Blatand, which translates to Blue tooth, was King of Denmark. His goal was to unite Denmark and part of Norway as one kingdom. Although he died before he could achieve this goal, his name became synonymous with a standard aimed at unifying the worlds of telecommunications and computing (www.sysopt.com, 2004). As a side note, it is rumored that Harold liked to eat huge amounts of blueberries. So many in fact, that his teeth were stained blue?hence the name Bluetooth (www.btdesigner.com, 2004)."

From the Paper
"Today the breakthrough wireless technology that bares the same name has similar intentions as Harald Blatand once did. It aims to unify all electronic devices under a common standard for short-range wireless communication. Bluetooth has the backing of over 2,000 companies including Microsoft, Intel, Motorola, and Nokia. Theses companies have unified under the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) who claim to be, ?working together to define and promote an open, royalty-free specification for seamless wireless connectivity and cable replacement for a wide variety of mobility-enhancing devices.? The project has been gaining momentum and support since its beginnings but some critics are not sure whether it will have the positive impacts many of its backers and consumers are hoping for. In recent months competition has become tougher from companies like Apple and Lucent who hope to put out their own standard of short-range wireless data transmission."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The problem with a wireless network is that it diminishes security and, in an era where information is essential, this can lead to security glitches that might damage information control in the organization and might lead to information leaks to the outside. If security becomes the primary objectives to be reached, then firewalls and other security elements need to be installed, which technically will tend to reduce speed. If the speed of access to the network is significantly reduced, then obviously the increase in productivity and efficiency will be seriously diminished."

Abstract
This paper discusses what is Bluetooth and where it got its name from. It shows how in 1984 Ericsson Corporation began a study to examine radio links as an alternatives to the cables that linked its mobile phones with accessories. Out of this study came the specifications for Bluetooth wireless technology which means one no longer needs to connect, plug into, install, enable or configure the device settings . The paper describes the technology used, the IEEE standards utilized with Bluetooth, regulation of Bluetooth, its development and possible risks of utilizing Bluetooth.
From the Paper
"The Bluetooth Special Interest Group, or SIG, is a group of companies working together to promote and define the Bluetooth specifications. The Bluetooth SIG was founded by five companies to develop the Bluetooth concept as a viable wireless technology standard. The companies are Ericsson, Intel, IBM, Toshiba and Nokia. Other companies like Microsoft, Lucent, 3Com and Motorola later joined the Bluetooth SIG. To date, more than 1,500 companies have joined this group and the specifications are developed, published and promoted by the Bluetooth SIG."

Abstract
This paper explores the growth of the internet over the past 30 years as it experienced many different obstacles in its development such as standards wars, protocol wars and the like. The newest obstacle is congestion on the telecom networks. This proposal discusses various new technologies that can solve this such as XDSL, Optical, ATM, Satellite and Cable. The writer aims to find an efficient and cost effective solution to this problem for the enterprise.
From the Paper
"As the Internet has grown, congestion over the telephone networks has increased causing data overload on circuits. Tele.Com?s (1996) editors proclaimed in 1996 ??after a century of predictability, the telephone network as we know it is fading into oblivion?? . Solutions to this problem are varied but all involve totally digital network lines. Broadband solutions ??promise speed, but the reality is often limited by internet speeds, backbone connections, switch capacity?? (DSL Prime.Com, August 2000) which is why there are so many obstacles for new technologies to overcome no matter how fast they are. This paper will discuss the various new technologies and which one(s) will be the best for implementation while lowering costs and increasing efficiency.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that telephone companies in the US can now compete directly with cable television companies, which in turn will be able to offer more telephone services as well. The paper describes how each company's essential monopoly is now being challenged. The paper discusses the change in behavioral thinking that must be implemented in the cable companies to take advantage of new possibilities, but to also maintain the core television business.
From the Paper
"Today's IT company faces issues in terms of its organizational behavior both from within and without, with the major internal issue often being personnel development, while changes in the competitive environment constitute a major issue from outside the company itself. Consider the problems facing the average Internet provider today, given that the competitive environment is opening up to new entrants so that the environment is changing rapidly. The issue is being framed in California today as the state implements a change in the law to allow competition among Internet providers, cable providers, and the telephone companies. In the past, telephone services were one type of service, cable television another, and Internet services still another."
