  • Telenet Communications Corp
    The user's role in connecting to a value added network Early next year data will start flowing at 56,000 bits a second over the circuits of a unique nationwide common carrier service Richard B. Hovey called a value added network. This new approach Telenet Communications Corp. to data communications combines old and new Washington, D.C. transmission facilities and adds to them a form of intelligence to improve the performance. The value added network (VAN) is different from present data transmission services and from private data networks in both the enhanced and extensive offerings to users and the sophisticated technology it employs. The technology, called packet switching, makes it possible for the value added carrier—the implementer and operator of the VAN—to provide any user, large or small, with the kind of fast-response, error-free, low-cost-per- transaction data transmissions now available only to companies that have invested in their own large private networks. In essence, the value added carrier (VAC) takes advantage of the substantial economies of scale re- sulting from one very large network— fully utiliz- ing such expensive resources as transmission lines and concentration equipment by sharing the net- work among the VAN'S subscribers. The VAC passes on a portion of the consequent savings to the indi- vidual user-subscribers through a tariff charge based mainly on traffic volume. Beyond the simple economics, leasing existing communications facilities allows the carrier to ob- tain just as much transmission capacity for each lo- cation as is required by the traffic load. This pro- vides the flexibility to adapt quickly to subscriber traffic and geographical demands, and permits the incorporation of new transmission offerings—such as satellites and AT&T'S Dataphone Digital Service- as they become available.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

  • M1 Hotel Text Final Scope of Work
    Draft Final Scope of Work M1 Hotel Text Amendment Draft Final Scope of Work for an Environmental Impact Statement New York City Department of City Planning CEQR No. 18DCP042Y ULURP No. N180349ZRY PREPARED BY VHB Engineering Surveying & Landscape Architecture PC One Penn Plaza Suite 715 New York, NY 10119 212.695.5858 April 23, 2018 i Final Scop of Work M1 Hotels Text Amendment EIS I Introduction As New York City’s population and employment numbers hit record highs, competition for scarce buildable land is growing especially strong. Light manufacturing zoning districts (M1 zones) have emerged as areas of opportunity, presenting some of the city’s last reservoirs of buildable land, and rules regulating land use and development in these districts have changed little since the city was comprehensively rezoned in 1961. The City’s 10-Point Industrial Action Plan, announced by Mayor de Blasio in November 2015, aims to support industrial job growth in Industrial Business Zones (IBZs), the city’s most active manufacturing zones (NYC Office of the Mayor, 2015). The Plan’s proposals included the creation of a new special permit for hotels, to preserve opportunities for industrial and manufacturing businesses in IBZs. However, comprehensive planning efforts are equally necessary to determine whether other M zones outside of IBZs, and particularly many M1 zones, may be better suited for the expansion of commercial and institutional uses, and in certain instances new housing development, to meet the needs of a growing city. The Department of City Planning needs to ensure that sufficient opportunities to support industrial, commercial, residential and institutional growth remain, and believes it would be beneficial to revisit the zoning framework for M1 districts.
