  • Digital Subscriber Loop Introduction
    DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LOOP INTRODUCTION • Digital subscriber line (DSL; originally digital subscriber loop) is a family of technologies that are used to transmit digital data over telephone lines. In telecommunications marketing, the term DSL is widely understood to mean asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), the most commonly installed DSL technology, for Internet access. • DSL service can be delivered simultaneously with wired telephone service on the same telephone line since DSL uses higher frequency bands for data. On the customer premises, a DSL filter on each non-DSL outlet blocks any high-frequency interference to enable simultaneous use of the voice and DSL services. • The bit rate of consumer DSL services typically ranges from 256 kbit/s to over 100 Mbit/s in the direction to the customer (downstream), depending on DSL technology, line conditions, and service-level implementation. Bit rates of 1 Gbit/s have been reached.[1] • In ADSL, the data throughput in the upstream direction (the direction to the service provider) is lower, hence the designation of asymmetric service. In symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) services, the downstream and upstream data rates are equal. Researchers at Bell Labs have reached speeds over 1 Gbit/s for symmetrical broadband access services using traditional copper telephone lines, though such speeds have not yet been deployed elsewhere OTL553-TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK MANAGEMENT/Mr.C.JEEVANANTHAM 2 AP/ECE Operation • Telephones are connected to the telephone exchange via a local loop, which is a physical pair of wires. The local loop was originally intended mostly for the transmission of speech, encompassing an audio frequency range of 300 to 3400 hertz (voiceband or commercial bandwidth).

OBERMIER ANGELA K. HOLLMAN UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AT UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AT KEARNEY KEARNEY ABSTRACT This study examines the monetary impact of tariffs on consumer internet access via a digital subscriber line (DSL). Historically, the Communications Act of 1934 mandated that telephony services be provided to everyone, without exclusion. With the rapid emergence of the internet, the Connect America Fund was recently implemented to ensure equal access to both voice and broadband services.

  • Country Overviews: Australia
    Next Generation Connectivity A. Australia Introduction After starting slowly, broadband take-up and average advertised speeds are now above the OECD average though well behind the leaders. Prices are comparatively high; caps on usage are universal and plans for fiber access networks have stalled since 2005. 3G wireless penetration far outstrips fixed-line access in Australia. Under a plan announced in April 2009, the federal government is establishing a public-private partnership to build and operate a national, wholesale-only, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network. Many have welcomed this as a visionary response to slow, expensive broadband and the continuing power of the once state-owned incumbent, Telstra. But the plan has also been strongly criticized by those unconvinced of the universal demand for these fixed access speeds, and skeptical about the likely commercial return on the huge investment, especially given the rapid growth of mobile broadband. Market highlights Overall, 52.0% of households in Australia have broadband access. 337 Fiber / LAN Cable DSL Other Overall 338 Subscriptions per 100 people 339 0.0 4.3 19.9 1.2 25.4 Penetration Rank amongst Rank amongst Rank amongst Speed metrics Price metrics Metrics OECD 30 countries OECD 30 countries OECD 30 countries Maximum Penetration per 100, Price low speeds, 16 advertised speed, 14 28 OECD combined OECD Household Average advertised Price med speeds, 13 7 27 penetration, OECD speed, OECD combined 3G penetration, Average speed, Price high speeds, 3 24 19 Telegeography Akamai combined Wi-Fi hotspots per Median download, Price very high 17 22 N/A 100000, Jiwire speedtest.net speeds, combined Median upload, 24 speedtest.net Median latency, 17 speedtest.net 1st quintile 90% Download, nd Note: Details in Part 3 18 2 quintile speedtest.net rd Source: OECD, TeleGeography, Jiwire, 3 quintile Speedtest.net, Akamai, Point Topic 90% Upload, 4th quintile 24 th Berkman Center analysis speedtest.net 5 quintile 337 Australian Bureau of Statistics, Household Use of Information Technology, 2007/08, 8146.0, as of 2007/08.

  • Federal Communications Commission DA 12-1334 Before the Federal
    Federal Communications Commission DA 12-1334 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) International Comparison Requirements Pursuant ) IB Docket No. 10-171 to the Broadband Data Improvement Act ) GN Docket 11-121 ) International Broadband Data Report ) THIRD REPORT Adopted: August 13, 2012 Released: August 21, 2012 By the Chief, International Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. This is the Commission’s third annual International Broadband Data Report (IBDR or Report). The IBDR is required by the Broadband Data Improvement Act (BDIA) and provides comparative international information on broadband services.1 Through the presentation of this data, we have the opportunity to evaluate the United States’ rates of broadband adoption, speeds, and prices in comparison to the international community. International data can serve as useful benchmarks for progress in fixed and mobile broadband accessibility. 2. In the past year, both fixed and mobile broadband providers have made significant progress in their efforts to expand broadband networks and improve service quality. As noted in the Eighth 706 Report released today, the market is responding to the needs of Americans for increased broadband capabilities.2 In 2011, U.S. investment in wired and wireless network infrastructure rose 24%.3 Some recent trends show that providers are offering higher speeds, more data under their usage limits, and more advanced technology in both fixed and mobile broadband. For example, cable operators have increased their deployment of DOCSIS 3.0-based data networks, which are capable of providing 100 megabits per second or faster (Mbps) speeds. In the last three years, the percentage of households passed by DOCSIS 3.0 broadband infrastructure has risen from 20% to 82%.4 Advances in broadband technology and initiatives to promote greater deployment and adoption of broadband services have led to broadband- enabled innovation in other fields such as health care, education, and energy efficiency.
