During the recently concluded Mobile World Congress held in the city of Barcelona in Spain, there was much talk about 5G technology and how it might shape up the mobile world in the years to come. The generation of wireless tech next to today’s 4G is said to be a hundred times faster, and even better than what Google Fiber delivers via a physical connection to homes. But a concept of an ultra fast network may still sound like a vague idea to some, so let us go through some scenarios.
Verizon Wireless has officially phased out its 25 mbps default speed for its FiOS Internet service. The Big Red has now instead upgraded it to 50 mbps at the minimum.
Deep in the heart of a remote area of the West African nation of Guinea, engineers and officials from China's telecommunications giant Huawei gather to break ground on the nation's very first fiber-optic cable. When the project is completed in 2017, millions of people in Guinea will be able to benefit from high-speed and low-cost access to the Internet.
Broadband internet access may seem like a staple of life to the average person today, but it could still be an out-of-reach luxury to some low-income families. On June 18, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote whether to broaden an existing subsidy program to include broadband access. The Lifeline program, which began in 1985, provides low or no-cost telephone service to qualified customers. In 2005, the program was expanded to include discounts on pre-paid wireless telephone plans.
Tom Wheeler, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), spoke during this year's Internet and Television Expo (INTX) held in the city of Chicago, and strongly encouraged players in the cable industry to not interfere with broadband competition.
AT&T is taking its ultra-speedy gigabit broadband service and bringing it to the city of Cupertino in the state of California. Indeed, the major wireless carrier has announced that it has officially launched its U-Verse with AT&T GigaPower broadband network Monday in this Santa Clara County city. This service promises to offer up to 1 gigabit per second connectivity to consumers and small- to medium-sized enterprises. Rates start at $110 every month.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially released a 400 page PDF that states in detail the new and more rigid rules and regulations it has formulated for broadband services.
The Federal Communications Commission, which is led by Tom Wheeler (appointed by President Barack Obama two years ago in 2013), will be voting this week on critical Internet regulations after one year of intense deliberation.
The subways of Chicago will having be having 4G LTE services soon. All four major wireless carriers in the United States -- AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless -- are working together to roll out a $32.5 million LTE upgrade to the Chicago subways. That will include 22 miles of subway tunnels under the Windy City.
Most people think of Chicago's metro train system as the L train system (the L is short for elevated). But not many know that two of the Windy City's main lines actually go underground for about 20 stops when approaching the downtown area.
