  • Did Comet HEINRICH-Swift-Tuttle Terminate Roman and Global Civilization? [ROME’S POPULATION CATASTROPHE: G
    1 Did Comet HEINRICH-Swift-Tuttle Terminate Roman and Global Civilization? [ROME’S POPULATION CATASTROPHE: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demografia_di_Roma] G. Heinsohn, January 2021 In the first millennium CE, the people of ROME built residential quarters, latrines, water pipes, sewage systems, streets, ports, bakeries etc., but only during Imperial Antiquity (1- 230s CE). No such structures were built during Late Antiquity (4th-6th/7th c.) or the Early Middle Ages (8th-930s CE). [See already https://q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohn-the-stratigraphy- of-rome-benchmark-for-the-chronology-of-the-first-millennium-ce.html] Since the ruins of the 3rd c. CE lie directly beneath the primitive new structures that were built after the 930s CE (i.e., BEGINNING OF THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES), Imperial Antiquity belongs stratigraphically to the period from 700 to 930s CE. The steep decline in the population of Rome from 1.5 million to 650,000, dated in the diagram to "450" CE, must be accommodated archaeologically within Imperial Antiquity. This decline is due to the crisis caused by the Antonine Plague and Fires, the burning of Rome's State Archives (Tabularium), the Comet of Commodus before the rise of the Severan Emperors (190s-230s CE), and the invasion of Italy by proto-Hunnic Iazyges and proto-Gothic Quadi from the 160s to the 190s. The 160s ff. are stratigraphically parallel with the 450s ff. CE and its invasion of Italy by Huns and Goths. Stratigraphically, we are in the 860s ff. CE, with Hungarians and Vikings. The demographic collapse in the CRISIS OF THE 6th CENTURY (“553” CE in the diagram) is identical with the CRISIS OF THE 3rd C., as well as with the COLLAPSE OF THE 10th C., when Comet HEINRICH-Swift-Tuttle (after King Heinrich I of Saxony; 876/919-936 CE) with ensuing volcanos and floods of the 930s CE ) damaged the globe and Henry’s Roman style city of Magdeburg).

    FEDERAL REGULATION AND COMPETITIVE ACCESS TO MULTIPLE-UNIT PREMISES: MORE CHOICE IN COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES? LYNNE HOLT* & MARK JAMISON** I. INTRODUCTION The nature of competition in the United States’ communications sector changed significantly over the past two decades. Before the 1990s, ‘‘competition’’ referred to the fight among providers of discrete services, such as the contest among AT&T, MCI, and Sprint over the long- distance slice of the communications pie. Today, competition is much more likely to describe the fight over the entire pie, among firms offering a ‘‘triple play’’ of services----high-speed Internet service, video, and t e l e p h o n y ----over a single broadband platform. Some firms recently expanded the pie with a ‘‘quadruple play’’ that includes wireless services as well. Cable operators, traditional wireline telephone companies, and, increasingly, wireless providers are competing to offer consumers both the underlying broadband platform and various bundled services that ride across it. However, not all consumers benefit from this competition in like manner.1 Public policy deliberations tend to focus more on differences in access to communications services either between consumers in rural and * Dr. Lynne Holt, Policy Analyst, Public Utility Research Center, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-7142, [email protected]. ** Dr. Mark A. Jamison, Director, Public Utility Research Center, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-7142, [email protected]. The authors appreciate the review by Mr. William Cox, Able Band Chartered, and his suggestions for improving an earlier version of this paper. 1. For example, the staff of the New York Public Service Commission found differences between geographic areas in terms of the competitive alternatives that customers enjoyed.

  • 1 Making a Difference in Tenth-Century Politics: King
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository 1 Making a Difference in Tenth-Century Politics: King Athelstan’s Sisters and Frankish Queenship Simon MacLean (University of St Andrews) ‘The holy laws of kinship have purposed to take root among monarchs for this reason: that their tranquil spirit may bring the peace which peoples long for.’ Thus in the year 507 wrote Theoderic, king of the Ostrogoths, to Clovis, king of the Franks.1 His appeal to the ideals of peace between kin was designed to avert hostilities between the Franks and the Visigoths, and drew meaning from the web of marital ties which bound together the royal dynasties of the early-sixth-century west. Theoderic himself sat at the centre of this web: he was married to Clovis’s sister, and his daughter was married to Alaric, king of the Visigoths.2 The present article is concerned with a much later period of European history, but the Ostrogothic ruler’s words nevertheless serve to introduce us to one of its central themes, namely the significance of marital alliances between dynasties. Unfortunately the tenth-century west, our present concern, had no Cassiodorus (the recorder of the king’s letter) to methodically enlighten the intricacies of its politics, but Theoderic’s sentiments were doubtless not unlike those that crossed the minds of the Anglo-Saxon and Frankish elite families who engineered an equally striking series of marital relationships among themselves just over 400 years later. In the early years of the tenth century several Anglo-Saxon royal women, all daughters of King Edward the Elder of Wessex (899-924) and sisters (or half-sisters) of his son King Athelstan (924-39), were despatched across the Channel as brides for Frankish and Saxon rulers and aristocrats.

FTTH represents the first major upgrade to the access network since the deployment of cellular infrastructure in the 80s and 90s, and like cellular, it is likely to have a deep impact on the entire supply chain, including technology vendors and network operators. Over the next 15 to 20 years, copper access networks worldwide will be largely replaced by a fiber access network, creating massive opportunities for vendors, network builders, and service providers. The most important catalyst for this change is a growing perception that copper access networks will soon no longer be able to meet the ever- growing consumer demand for bandwidth, driven mainly by the Internet, IP, and the many services running over it. At the same time, competition to move customers onto complex service packages that include video is leading some to conclude that they must be first to deploy fiber, pre-empting or frustrating future competition.
