    THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A.

ABSTRACT THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A. Baratto THINC is a new virtual and remote display architecture for desktop computing. It has been designed to address the limitations and performance shortcomings of existing remote display technology, and to provide a building block around which novel desktop architectures can be built. THINC is architected around the notion of a virtual display device driver, a software-only component that behaves like a traditional device driver, but instead of managing specific hardware, enables desktop input and output to be intercepted, manipulated, and redirected at will. On top of this architecture, THINC introduces a simple, low-level, device-independent representation of display changes, and a number of novel optimizations and techniques to perform efficient interception and redirection of display output. This dissertation presents the design and implementation of THINC. It also intro- duces a number of novel systems which build upon THINC's architecture to provide new and improved desktop computing services. The contributions of this dissertation are as follows: • A high performance remote display system for LAN and WAN environments.

  • Wireless Competition in Canada: an Assessment
    Volume 6•Issue 27•September 2013 WIRELESS COMPETITION IN CANADA: AN ASSESSMENT Jeffrey Church † Professor, Department of Economics and Director, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary Andrew Wilkins † Research Associate, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary SUMMARY If there’s one thing Canadians agree on, it’s that Canada’s wireless industry can and should be more competitive. The federal government is on side with the policy objective of having four carriers in every region and has responded with policies that provide commercial advantages to entrants. But, the rub is that there has not been a study that actually assesses the state of competition in wireless services in Canada, until now. Those in favour of policies that will promote and sustain entry point to Canada’s high average revenue per user and low wireless penetration rate (mobile connections per capita) as evidence that there is insufficient competition. The difficulty is that the facts are not consistent with this simplistic analysis. Measurements of wireless penetration are skewed toward countries that maintain the Calling Party Pays Protocol and favour pay-as-you-go plans, both of which encourage inflated user counts. Canada’s participation per capita on monthly plans and minutes of voice per capita are not outliers. Moreover, in terms of smartphone adoption and smartphone data usage, Canada is a global leader, contributing to high average revenue per user. Consistent with being world leaders in the rollout of high speed wireless networks, Canada lead its peer group in capital expenditures per subscriber in 2012: the competition of importance to Canadians is not just over price, but also over the quality of wireless networks.

  • Opening Canada's Doors to Foreign Investment in Telecommunications
    Response To: Opening Canada’s Doors to Foreign Investment in Telecommunications: Options for Reform Industry Canada Consultation Paper June 2010 Section 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mobilicity is pleased to be given an opportunity to respond to the recently published Industry Canada Consultation Paper on foreign investment in Telecommunications. We have reviewed the various foreign investment options suggested in the publication, and would like to specifically support Option 2 – The Telecommunications Policy Review Plan / Competition Policy Review Panel approach – specifically allowing smaller telecom players to be exempt from current restrictions related to foreign investment in telecommunications. In summary, we believe Option 2 will help facilitate fair competition among telecom companies and deliver the most consumer benefits of all the options under consideration. As will be discussed, telecommunications companies, in particular wireless operators, are capital intensive due to the large network and employee base required to offer service. Moreover, for new entrants and smaller operators, there is significant risk in their business plans because much of the capital outlay is required in advance of attracting subscribers, their large fixed cost base means that it is often many years before they can generate positive cash flow, and in the interim the incumbent competition can take predatory actions to impact smaller companies‟ viability. The result, therefore, is that while all telecommunications carriers need regular access to capital, new entrants in particular need access to “risk capital”, which is funding for earlier stage companies, many of which are not developed enough to be traded publicly. In Canada, there is ample domestic capital available for mature, relatively safe businesses such as telecommunication incumbents, but the amount of risk capital available is small relative to the requirements of new entrants and smaller operators.
