  • Telecommunications Infrastructure for Electronic Delivery 3
    Telecommunications Infrastructure for Electronic Delivery 3 SUMMARY The telecommunications infrastructure is vitally important to electronic delivery of Federal services because most of these services must, at some point, traverse the infrastructure. This infrastructure includes, among other components, the Federal Government’s long-distance telecommunications program (known as FTS2000 and operated under contract with commercial vendors), and computer networks such as the Internet. The tele- communications infrastructure can facilitate or inhibit many op- portunities in electronic service delivery. The role of the telecommunications infrastructure in electronic service delivery has not been defined, however. OTA identified four areas that warrant attention in clarifying the role of telecommunications. First, Congress and the administration could review and update the mission of FTS2000 and its follow-on contract in the context of electronic service delivery. The overall perform- ance of FTS2000 shows significant improvement over the pre- vious system, at least for basic telephone service. FTS2000 warrants continual review and monitoring, however, to assure that it is the best program to manage Federal telecommunications into the next century when electronic delivery of Federal services likely will be commonplace. Further studies and experiments are needed to properly evaluate the benefits and costs of FTS2000 follow-on options from the perspective of different sized agencies (small to large), diverse Federal programs and recipients, and the government as a whole. Planning for the follow-on contract to FTS2000 could consider new or revised contracting arrangements that were not feasible when FTS2000 was conceived. An “overlapping vendor” ap- proach to contracting, as one example, may provide a “win-win” 57 58 I Making Government Work situation for all parties and eliminate future de- national infrastructure will be much stronger if bates about mandatory use and service upgrades.

  • Introductory Concepts
    www.getmyuni.com INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTS 1.1 WHAT IS TELECOMMUNICATION? Many people call telecommunication the world’s must lucrative industry. In the United States, 110 million households have telephones and 50% of total households in the U.S. have Internet access and there are some 170 million mobile subscribers. Long-distance service annual revenues as of 2004 exceeded 100 × 109 dollars.1 Prior to divestiture (1983), the Bell System was the largest commercial company in the United States. It had the biggest fleet of vehicles, the most employees, and the greatest income. Every retiree with any sense held the safe and dependable Bell stock. Bell System could not be found on the “Fortune 500” listing of the largest companies. In 1982, Western Electric Co., the Bell System manufacturing arm, was number seven on the “Fortune 500.” However, if one checked the “Fortune 100 Utilities,” the Bell System was up on the top. Transferring this information to the “Fortune 500” put Bell System as the leader on the list. We know it is big business; but what is telecommunications? Webster’s (Ref. 1) calls it communications at a distance.TheIEEE Standard Dictionary (Ref. 2) defines telecom- munications as the transmission of signals over long distance, such as by telegraph, radio, or television. Another term we often hear is electrical communication. This is a descriptive term, but of somewhat broader scope. Some take the view that telecommunication deals only with voice telephony, and the typical provider of this service is the local telephone company. We hold a wider interpretation. Telecommunication encompasses the electrical communication at a distance of voice, data, and image information (e.g., TV and facsimile).

    1300 I Street, N.W. Jennifer Pelzman Suite 500 East Manager, Legal Services Washington, DC 20005 Federal Regulatory and Legal Affairs 202.515.2463 [email protected] September 16, 2019 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: Verizon Public Notice of Network Change(s), 47 C.F.R. §§ 51.325 - 51.335 Copper Retirement ID No. 2019-03-A-DE Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Sections 51.325 – 51.335 of the Commission’s rules, Verizon hereby submits the attached: Certification of Public Notice of Network Change under rule 51.329(a); Public Notice of Copper Retirement under rule 51.333; and Certification of Public Notice of Copper Retirement under rule 51.333. Specifically, Verizon is providing notification of the replacement of copper distribution and loop facilities with fiber-to-the-premises facilities at all remaining locations in the Angola, Bridgeville, Camden, Dover, Hockessin, Holly Oak, Lewes, Middletown, Marshallton, New Castle, Ocean View, Smyrna, Talleyville, Penn Rose, Wilmington and Wrangle Hill, DE wire centers. Upon completion, Verizon will provide services available over its fiber optic network. The majority of customers served by copper at these locations purchase “plain old telephone service.” Following transition to fiber, Verizon will continue to offer these customers the same POTS over fiber at the same price as they received on copper facilities, with no change in the underlying features and functionalities in their service. There may be one or more obsolete, narrowband services (such as certain DS0 level services) that are incompatible with or unavailable over fiber.
