What do Oprah, the Department of Transportation, the Triple A, insurance companies and, state and federal legislators have in common?

May 18, 2010 By sam Leave a Comment

The US Transportation Department recently proposed to forbid text messaging while driving by cross-state truck and bus drivers.  This regulatory action follows up on Transportation Department public service program to reduce distracted drivers that lead to accidents.

The proposal would make permanent an interim ban put in place at the beginning of the calendar year by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.  The proposed ban applies to drivers of passenger buses and commercial trucks operating vehicles weighing more than ten thousand pounds.  As an indication of the scope of the issue, violators could be facing civil penalities and/or even criminal penalties.

The United States Department of Transportation reported that 5,870 people were killed and over a half million were injured in 2008 in accidents involving distracted drivers.  The department didn’t speculate how many of those accidents were linked to cell phone.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mirror the Transportation Department estimates with projection that around eighty percent of crashes are caused by driver distraction.  The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is funding research to determine the extent of the distraction problem.  The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA)   states that driver inattention is a determining factor in many accidents, and mobile phone calls and texting are some of the most common driver distractions.

State legislators aren’t waiting for research reports and are passing new laws dealing with mobile phone use  and texting .  The Governors Highway Safety Association reports that twenty states plus Washington DC outlaw drivers of all types of vehicles from sending text messages when driving.  An additional nine states restricting texting by new drivers.  The remaining states are expected to implement the ban eventually.  But it is also widely recognized that the laws are not enough to stop the problem and technology is neede.  The GHSA purports to say it supports texting bans for all drivers, but has doubts about enforcement.

A leading company with a monitoring solution is Phone Beagle.  Their software installs on Android and BlackBerry mobile phones and monitors GPS location, and text messages along with other phone log activity.

The trucking and passenger bus industries support the text message prohibition, and many companies have explicit policies restricting texting when driving.  The government, industry and safety organizations all agree that driver distraction  caused bytexting is a menace to society, and deserves action.  Advocates for addressing the problem also include media powerhouse Oprah.  

Without question there are many distractions interfering with a driver focusing on driving:  fiddling with the radio or a putting in tape or CD, talking to passengers, rubber necking, and of course, using mobile phones and texting.  Navigational and other interactive devices also cause inattention.

As legislation and technology develop to address the issues a software package from  Phone Beagle is available to help deal with monitoring phone use.  PhoneBeagle installs on Android and BlackBerry cell phones and monitors GPS location, and text messages along with other call log events.

Nokia N82 Features

April 17, 2009 By Gadget Guy Leave a Comment

A lot of buzz is always created whenever a new Nokia N series phone comes out. It’s not surprising because ever since Nokia came up with the N series phones, all the other mobile phone companies followed suit. Not that they made their own N series phones. It’s more like they made the N series phones the (comparative) standards of their phones. If this N series phone allows the user to browse the internet, another mobile phone company comes up with their own model showcasing the same feature. Get it?

There are now a certain number of N series phones released, and the youngest member of the group is the Nokia N82 phone. Hailed as the successor of the Nokia N81, the N82 is filled with almost the same features plus new ones, too. Once again, the people at Nokia have thought of another way to make you shell out some of your money for one of their products. The reason for why you should get this mobile phone is because it has everything that you need.

It is filled with almost everything that you can think, or never thought, of in a mobile phone. The Nokia N82 allows you to make use of it as a plain mobile phone (which is impossible since it will never be just a plain phone) to a business associate to everything in between these two. Why? For starters, it allows you to do the basic things that you are supposed to do with mobile phones such as do the simple sending of SMS and making a phone call. If you want to go more advanced with this phone, you can send MMS and make video calls through the use of its front camera and the Symbian OS connection.

If you want to go a little further, you can make use of its games, especially when you are bored. Waiting for someone who is running late can be boring especially when you are alone. This phone has a lot of games, or you can download more games from your computer to your phone, to keep you busy while waiting.

If you get tired with playing the games in the mobile phone or are not generally a game person, plug in the headphones and listen to music. While listening to music, you can also take photos of yourself or those people around you. Want to do some recording? Toggle with the camera to make a video or with the recorder to make an audio record. Which ever you do is bound to be fun.

If you have a lot of things to do in the internet, look for places with WiFi connection to log on. Not able to find a WiFi connection? Look for someplace that has broad band instead. Whichever you use, you will end up having a fast connection since Nokia N82 is 3G. If you are one who is forgetful or is a minimalist where carrying things around is concerned, then this will really be in tune with your character. With the Nokia N82, there is no need to carry around a lap top, a music player, a camera and a USB; why should you when they’re all in there?

DSL, Cable, Satellite, Or 4G – Comparison For Broadband Internet Service and HDTV

April 14, 2009 By Broadband Bob Leave a Comment

Telephone, Internet, and TV service are now routinely bundled by service providers. It is convenient to have a single supplier and one bill a month. With the availability of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), the lines between the different services have blurred further.

Broadband Internet service (High Speed) for residential or small business requirements has usually been available from two sources: DSL, a system that piggybacked on the telephone wiring from the telephone company, or Cable, a system that similarly piggybacked on the cable TV wiring. In 2008, about 25 million customers utilized cable broadband, and about 22 million customers utilized DSL. In 2001, a total of about 5 million customers used either cable broadband or DSL.

For most people the TV coaxial cable has offered better performance than DSL, but if you were highly price conscious, then the DSL cable may have been competitive. So, in a discussion of broadband choices, we should include cable and DSL, but we will also discuss new options that are now available like WildBlue satellite, and services that will soon be available like WiMax (WiFi with a city-wide hot-spot) and ViaSat (satellite communications on steroids).

The Impact of Video Downloads (especially HDTV):

Despite the relatively small number of users, research indicates that systems such as BitTorrent and YouTube account for more than half of all Internet traffic. In 1995 the total amount of data transacted over the Internet backbone was about 1.5 million GB. By 2006, this had grown to over 700 million GB.

ABI Research projects that the number of video downloads to increase from 215 million downloads this year (2008) to 2.4 billion downloads in 2012. This number becomes more impressive when one takes into account that a much higher per cent of those downloads in 2012 will be HDTV files, which are much larger (A non HDTV movie is approximately 3 GB/Hour, HDTV file size is dependent on encoding: an MPEG-4 encoded HDTV movie file size is approximately 5 GB/Hour, an unencoded 1280 X 720 movie file size is over 150 GB/Hour, and an unencoded 1920 X 1080 movie file size is over 350 GB/Hour).

By 2010, forecasts call for 80-90% of Internet traffic to be video transfer.

Cable and the Phone Companies (DSL):

Cable broadband is capable of about 30 MBPS of bandwidth, however, speed can vary. Unfortunately, the measurement in real-world conditions can be more complicated. If many people in your neighborhood use the same broadband service as you, and those people use a lot of bandwidth, for video downloads for example, then you will be sharing some resources, and your performance will suffer. Most service providers offer service with between 3-6 MBPS bandwidth for downloads. Upload bandwidth is lower: usually between 200-600 KBPS.

Median DSL speed in the U.S. is 768 KBPS. One type of DSL technology, VDSL, is capable of 30 MBPS bandwidth, but this service is not widely available. Instead, telephone companies more commonly offer ADSL or SDSL services (cheaper and slower).

Both Cable Broadband and DSL service providers commonly employ bandwidth caps for residential and small business customers. Service providers concerned about the overall capability of their network may institute the capacity constraints so that they can provide equal performance to all of their customers.

Cable and the Phone Companies HDTV:

Verizon is building fiber-optic networks that will be capable of broadcasting handle 200+ HDTV channels in addition to all of the conventional TV channels.

Most cable operators have enough available bandwidth for only about 10-12 HDTV channels without a major retooling of their networks.

WiMax and LTE:

In major metropolitan areas in the U.S., WiMax should available late in 2008. Sprint will make its commercial WiMAX debut in Baltimore in September. WiMax supports peak data speeds of about 20 MBPS, but, as with most broadband technologies, that bandwidth will be shared amongst users. On average, a user will see data rates between 1 MBPS and 4 MBPS.

Most major wireless carriers are skipping WiMax, planning instead to build out networks using a similar technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE), a successor to current cellular technology. WiMax has a head start on LTE, which won’t be ready until 2010. These two technologies are referred to as 4G networks (Current state of the art mobile phone technology for accessing the Internet is called 3G). If mobile broadband service is important to you, these products will be very attractive. Unlike rivals GSM and CDMA, both 4G networks are based on “Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing” (OFDM), also sometimes referred to as “discrete multi-tone modulation”. Since both LTE and WiMax are based on similar technology, a unified standard is possible in theory, and discussions are ongoing. Motorola has said 85% of the technology and work for WiMax equipment will be reused in its designs for LTE equipment.

WiMAX and LTE can deliver large amounts of bandwidth operating at the low power levels necessary for mobile devices. Another advantage of WiMax/LTE is its ability to communicate out of line-of-sight (unlike conventional WiFi), and to communicate into large buildings, in theory making dropped calls, typical of today’s cell phones, a thing of the past. A company called MobiTV will utilize the WiMAX network for the broadcast of TV, including HDTV. VoIP (telephone service) has already been deployed on WiMAX networks in other parts of the world.

Satellite Broadband:

Also newly introduced into the Broadband market, is WildBlue Satellite. This broadband service does not require a phone or cable line. WildBlue Satellite broadband service offers download/upload speeds starting at just $50 per month (512 kbps download speed with upload speed up to 128 kbps), or $80 per month (1.5 Mbps download speed and uploads up to 256 kbps). For those living in areas not well served by Cable Broadband and DSL, this is an attractive alternative. iNetVu offers a portable system for vehicles.

A very powerful new satellite, Viasat-1, will launch in 2011. This satellite will greatly improve the competitiveness of satellite in this field. ViaSat-1 has a total throughput capability of over 100 Gb/second, which is more capacity than the current American fleet of two-way C, Ka, and Ku band satellites combined. In 2010, a similar service will be launed in Europe by Ka-Sat.

Both WildBlue and ViaSat terminals use a networking technology that uses satellite bandwidth more efficiently, called DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications), lowering the cost of Internet service to consumers. The terminals include satellite modems and Ka band transceivers. DOCSIS has the ability to address “rain fade”, a reduction in signal that is caused by heavy cloud cover, like during a thunderstorm. DOCSIS automatically responds to a reduced signal caused by atmospheric conditions with variable power control and data encoding techniques.

ViaSat-1 will offer more than a 10X increase in the capacity with frequency reuse by utilizing a technique called “SpotBeams” (WildBlue also uses SpotBeams). The high throughout of ViaSat-1 makes it ideal for transmitting new video applications requiring ultra high bit rates such as HDTV, HD digital cinema, and 3D TV. Spotbeams can be compared to a searchlight. SpotBeams focus a signal on an area 100 to 200 miles across. Thge same frequencies can be be reused many time, but for a different focus area.

WildBlue and ViaSat are geosynchronous satellites. A geosynchronous satellite remains above the same spot on the earth by orbiting at approximately 36,000 kilometers above the equator. Your signal must do a round-trip, and the minimum time for such a trip is about 1/4 second.

Satellite HDTV:

While HDTV local channels are more available on cable than satellite, DirecTV and the Dish Network each offer more national HDTV channels. DirecTV offers about 60 national HDTV channels and the Dish Network has about 50 HDTV channels. DirecTV and EchoStar plan additional satellites to offer at least 150 national HD channels, as well as local stations in HDTV.

“Satellite’s going to be constrained not so much by how many channels they can carry than by how many they can get,” Bob Scherman, Satellite Business News.

By 2010, it is projected that 60% of TV receivers will use a Satellite signal, up from 15% in 2002.
Summary:

Median DSL speed in the U.S. is 768 KBPS.
Median Internet speed over Cable broadband is about 4.5 MBPS.
WildBlue service is approximately 500 KBPS.
WiMax service will be between 1 MBPS and 4 MBPS.
ViaSat-1 service (2011) will be about 2 MBPS.

HDTV service is currently more fully served by the satellite TV companies like DirectV and Dish Network. New systems being implemented by Verizon, or perhaps a thorough retooling by local cable TV operators will offer the best competition.

The supply of HDTV and Broadband service in the U.S. is currently fragmented from the satellite industry. Both may be available from local retailers, but a unified system is lacking. This compares poorly to Europe and EutelSat, which will launch Ka-Sat in 2010 (Ka-Sat is very similar to ViaSat-1, discussed above), and install this satellite in a satellite “neighborhood”, so that a single system will receive both the TV signals from their HotBird satellite system, and receive high performance broadband from Ka-Sat. This is unfortunate for U.S. consumers.

Currently, over 90% of customers of broadband services utilize either cable broadband or DSL. However, new worthy competition is entering the fray, and it will be difficult for those services to maintain their market share.

VOIP Telephone Service Providers – Choosing One

April 12, 2009 By VoIP Man Leave a Comment

In order to receive Voip, you need a broadband connection, a basic telephone, an adapter, and a Voip telephone service. There are many Voip telephone service providers on the internet that you can choose from.

Some of these Voip service providers are Phone Power, ITP, and Vonage. These IP phone service providers are for residential services. For the Business Voip telephone service there is Fonality, Vocalocity, Packet8, and Speakeasy.

There are many other providers that can be chosen from but the Voip phone service companies that are listed, are the top dogs in the industry so far.

The residential Voip telephone service providers mostly all offer unlimited calls in the United States and Canada but then get a little picky when it comes to other countries. The Voip telephone services have gotten very much in demand and keeps growing day by day.

Most of the little Voip services cannot keep up and end up in the Voip Graveyard. This is a collection of bankrupt and problematic Voip providers. Statistics have shown that there were 85 Voip telephone service operators that shut their doors between June of 2005 and October of 2006. There were also 171 Voip services that were closed down in the period of November 2006 through October of 2007.

Many of the Voip phone companies in the Voip graveyard just could not compete with the bigger companies that were giving unique deals with certain packages. Most of the bigger companies have free Voip that they offer to their customers along with their capabilities to have heavy marketing strategies.

The Voip telephone service can be huge for businesses as well. The on-the-go executive or even the general worker, will not have to worry about being in the office anymore to catch a call. That was solved with the mobile phone but not everyone has a mobile phone and those customers that have the internet equipped with Voip telephone service doesn’t have to worry about having a cell phone anymore.

So far, when it comes to talking about the extinction of land-lines, there was a survey taken in Australia and at least 85 percent of the people do not even have an active land-line phone. They all have said that they prefer to use their Voip or their cell phones but Voip can now be downloaded on cell phones in order to take advantage of the savings even more.

IP Telephony is a Cost Effective and Secure Technology

April 11, 2009 By VoIP Man Leave a Comment

IP telephony is a funny name for a very practical and cost efficient technology that allows you to make calls with a digital cordless telephone using a broadband internet connection instead of a regular phone line. Also known as voice over internet protocol or VoIP services, it is becoming more and more attractive to companies looking to lower costs, enhance security, and streamline communication between facilities in a reliable manner, inevitably increasing worker productivity.

The primary reason for migrating to VoIP is cost. Savings vary from firm to firm, but the industry reports an average savings of 40%. With the availability of data and voice bundles from a single provider, IP telephony gives businesses the tools they need to easily track expenses.

Pre-set pricing for VoIP services, with the exception of international calls, is a huge cost savings for businesses. Extra fees for international calls are at a considerably discounted rate compared with time worn telephone service providers. Simple and effortless billing means more time on worker productivity and less time wondering if your phone company has overcharged you.

Unlike traditional phone services with serious security vulnerabilities, multi-level security features such as firewalls, authentication and encryption are in place with VoIP to prevent attacks. These many layers of protection placed within the provider’s networks minimize your businesses susceptibility.

The layered security approach not only prevents attacks, but in the event of a security breach, it reduces the probability that the attack succeeds. Peace of mind can never be underrated.

VoIP offers a simple 3 digit transfer to any supported property or office. It does not matter if one office is in Missoula and the other office is in New York, the call is transferred as if they were in the same building.

It also allows businesses the ability to consolidate call answering from a central location, thus eliminating the liability of every office to manage their incoming calls with centralized call answering. Call centers are taking advantage of the opportunity to hire employees world wide. Employees may work in different time zones, giving greater customer service benefits year round.

Companies are looking for innovative ideas to cut costs and streamline services. IP telephony gives them the price, security and convenience to grow their business without a lot of hassle and a whole lot less complication.

The name may be funny, but VoIP services offer a serious alternative to traditional telephone services. The bottom line is, VoIP can save your enterprise cash without much effort. That is a very good thing.
