  Looking Back at Telecommunications In 2007

  Looking Back at Telecommunications In 2007
  By Michael Talbert

  As we move head strong into the New Year, I would like to take this time to look back at the past 12 months as they relate to VoIP and the Telecommunications Industry in general. 2007 was a year of upheaval and innovation, as VoIP became more of a mainstream technology and less of a novelty, the growing pains experienced define the winners and losers in a tumultuous year.

  The Pure Play VoIP providers were hit especially hard in 2007. The sudden and unannounced disappearance of SunRocket left subscribers in the lurch as other providers scrambled to fill the void. The once leader of the residential VoIP market, Vonage, was hit by multiple lawsuits for patent infringement, causing its stock to tumble as customers bolted like rats from a sinking ship. To add insult to injury, cable giant Comcast Communications gained the lead for residential market share with its triple play offerings of voice, video and Internet access. Packet8 faired well in 2007 reaching the 10,000 subscriber mark, albeit more due to the SMB than residential market with its hosted IP PBX services.

  In the Enterprise market, the appearance of Microsoft s Office Communications Server has caused many an institution to take a wait and see attitude on convergence. An independent study by Psytechnics concluded that the voice quality of the OCS 2007 was considerably better than some leading technologies currently available (CallManager). Microsoft s goal seems to be to make the PBX (IP or otherwise) obsolete, as voice and unified communications morph into just another software application. Potential savings for Business could be huge as hardware and infrastructure costs decline with the adoption of their soft phone technology.

  On the wireless front, the ominous firing of Sprint Nextel CEO and WiMax champion Gary Forsee leads to the dissolution of an agreement between Sprint and Clearwire Communications to begin a nation wide rollout of WiMaxin 2008. Although they started their soft launch of WiMax in three major cities in December as scheduled, Sprint says they are reevaluating their long term business plan and will let us know next year. Sprint has been losing market share steadily over the year, and as the largest holder of WiMax spectrum in the U.S., some are calling for them to either put up or spin off. 2008 the year of WiMax? Maybe not here!

  The FCC ruled in March that rural telecoms must open their networks to VoIP providers, and in another ruling exempted VoIP providers from state regulations. Another ruling for consumers in November states that consumers numbers must be ported within 48 hours of signing up with a new VoIP provider. In December, FCC chairman Kevin Martin reaps the wrath of Congress for loosening the longstanding ban on cross ownership that prohibits newspapers and broadcast stations from owning each other in the same market, thus opening the door for big media to consolidate.

  On a positive note, for those of us that think VoIP and open source is a positive thing, Verizon announced late in the year that it would open its network to “any” device or application that meets the minimum requirements. A potential road to Fixed Mobile Convergence, Verizon expects that most consumers will still use their existing calling plans. As the first cellular company in the U.S. to open up, Verizon puts itself in a favorable position in the FCC s eyes for the upcoming auction of the 700MHz Spectrum in late January. Verizon also announced shortly thereafter that it would be going with LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology for its 4G network.

  The past year has indeed given us a look at trends to come, as shakeups determine which of the wireless technologies will predominate, and tech behemoths like Google and Microsoft enter the telecommunications game for the first time.

  Telecommunications it s not just about phones anymore.

  The FCC Auction of the 700MHz Spectrum

  The FCC Auction of the 700MHz Spectrum
  By Michael Talbert

  On January 24 the bidding begins for what has been described by the FCC and others as “beachfront property”: the 700 MHz band of the electromagnetic spectrum. These Ultra High Frequencies are what is now known as channels 52 through 69 on your television dial, and are mandated by the FCC to become available on February 19th 2009, as television broadcast networks switch from analog to Digital TV. The auction has drawn 266 applicants and is expected to dump upwards of 15 billion dollars into the U.S. Treasury.

  The hype leading up to the auction has spurred coalitions of strange bedfellows, pitted free marketers against proponents of open source, and brought the Net Neutrality debate to the wireless arena. Some say that the auction has the potential to reshape the face of telecommunications in the U.S. as a diverse stream of participants, including Google, Qualcom, Cox Communications, EchoStar, the Public Broadcasting Service, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, challenge cellular giants AT&ampT and Verizon head on for a swath of this oceanfront spectrum. So what s all the fuss, and why so much interest in this piece of radio real estate?

  The 700MHz band of spectrum has a unique set of properties and capabilities that have not been available to the market since, well, since television took to the airwaves. Able to penetrate deep into buildings and travel 4 times farther than its peer frequencies, the FCC, as well as many commercial interests, see a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a nationwide wireless broadband network covering metropolitan and rural regions across the country, turning the have nots into the haves, and virtually eliminating the Digital Divide in the U.S..

  The United States seriously lags other industrialized countries in broadband coverage, largely due to its geographic immensity, and it has become a priority of the FCC and Congress to remedy the situation utilizing the ever evolving medium of wireless technology. By opening up the bidding to a diverse array of business interests, the possibility of introducing a third pipe to compete with cable and DSL would benefit consumers both economically and choice wise. Additionally, part of the spectrum to be auctioned is reserved for emergency services (i.e. homeland security), an idea spurred by the disastrous lack of communication between first responders in the terrorist attacks of 9-11.

  Reality Check

  While we all can see the benefit of being able to walk deep into a building without dropping a call, just how robust is the 700MHz band, and how well suited is it for full blown broadband Internet access and all that that implies? There are some who say this band of spectrum is great for coverage and penetration, but it lacks sufficient bandwidth for a robust wireless broadband solution.

  Another consideration is which technology the winning bidders will choose to implement. Will they use todays existing 3G technologies, or jump right in with the next generation. We know now that Verizon will be using the Third Generation Partnership Project s (3GPP) LTE (Long Term Evolution) for its next gen network, a standard expected to be ready for deployment in 2010. Also ready for deployment in 2010 will be the 3GPP2 s UMB standard.

  WiMax will take some tweaking to work in the 700MHz band, but with Sprint Nextel owning 90MHz of the 2.5MHz band, that performance in the 700 band would be hard to match, should they decide to go ahead with their WiMax project.

  Vendors and equipment manufactures say go ahead and deploy todays 3G technologies and upgrade later. Both Wideband CDMA and CDMA EV-DO still have some life left and would fit into the FCC s plan nicely.

  Whoever the winners are, and whatever technology they use, one only has to look at the evolution of the WiFi standard as it goes through its b, g, and now n revisions, to see how technology improves as the tail wags the dog.

  Just in case it doesn t work out, the White Spaces Coalition is already pushing to use the empty “white space” frequencies between channels in the 2MHz to 698MHz range for broadband access, with speeds topping out at 80Mbps…but that s another story.

  Does a West Virginia Reverse Phone Directory Exist?

  Does a West Virginia Reverse Phone Directory Exist?
  By Terry Taggert

  Over the last one hundred and thirty years, the telephone has evolved into a device that would be barely recognizable to its inventors. Gone is the copper wire and the rotary dial - instead there are push buttons, automated menus and electronic voices, and cordless models that could be credited for the rise of multitasking. Although landlines are still used by millions of households across North America, it is cellular technology that defines the telecommunications industry. When Martin Cooper dazzled New Yorkers on the street in 1973 with his prototypical cell phone, none of the observers could have guessed that in ten years that device would be made public. Motorola launched its “DynaTAC” cell phone in 1983, and it took only seven years before there were one million subscribers in the United States.

  Since we reached the one million mark, cell phone use has continued to expand. In June of 2000, there weren t even three hundred and fifty thousand cell phone subscribers in West Virginia, but six years later, that number had almost tripled to an astounding 964,977. When one looks at consensus data and realizes that there are only 1,818,470 people in West Virginia, that number is staggering. Virtually half of the population has a mobile phone!

  But why not? With ten carriers in the state, there is plenty of choice, and with it, competitive prices, increased networks, and fewer dropped calls. Is there anything that a landline does better?

  The only advantage a land line offers the consumer is its directory. With the phone that is secured to your home, you also get inclusion in the phone book, and that database is so convenient that it is utterly take for granted. But for cellular subscribers, such a directory remains elusive. If you ve been holding onto a number but no longer know why, or if you want to reconnect with an old friend, whose last contact is an old cell number, or if you would simply prefer to easily screen your calls, then reverse lookup services are the solution you need.

  Reverse lookup services enable a consumer to access cell owner details, address history, carrier details, and phone connection status. The internet abounds with numerous reverse lookup sites. This reverse phone lookup site is just one of the sites that can provide customers with the information they want. Although there is no state-wide directory, these sites can connect you to the names and addresses you want.

  Terry Taggert writes informational articles about people search, privacy, reverse phone lookups, and other similar topics.

  What Is The Best CB Radio Antenna That I Should Buy?

  What Is The Best CB Radio Antenna That I Should Buy?
  By Paul J Cox

  I have been driving a tractor trailer for about 10+ years. I am a member to many CB Radio Forums, also a lot of Truck Driver Forums.

  I see and get this question all the time, so I thought I would try and answer it here.

  You made it through truck driving school, now you need a CB Radio? OK, first off we need to do some research on CB Radios. DO you want a 10 meter radio? Or do you want a standard 11 meter CB Radio? Well it is going to have to be the latter of the two. Because unless you are a Ham Radio operator licensed through the FCC, then it is illegal to own a 10 meter radio.

  CB Radio operators are only allowed to talk on the 11 meter band.

  There are 40 channels in the 11 meter band, no CB Channels go below channel 1- 26.965 or above channel 40- 27.405. Anywhere in between you are allowed to operate as long as your CB Radio has not been “worked on”, we will get into this later. There are several different kinds of CB Radio s to choose from that are legal in the US.

  1. Cobra 25 LTD, 29 LTD, 148 GTL, 19 DX, 25 NW, 25 WXNW, 29 NW, 29 WXNW
  2. Texas Ranger 696, 121,966
  3. Uniden PRO 538 with weather, 510 XL, PC 68 XL, PC 68 LTW, PC 78 XL, PC 78 LTW, PC 78 Elite
  4. Galaxy 949 and the Galaxy 959

  These listed here are the basic legal radios allowed to be used in the USA today without having to have a Amature radio license. They are allowed to be used as long as no modifications have been made to them such as a “Peak and Tune” where the power has been turned up on the radio. From the factory these radio s are preset at 4 watts of power, which is legal. Tuned properly they will go up to about 35 watts, but again this is not allowed by the FCC.

  But most truckers go to the nearest “cb shop” and pay $50.00 to $100.00 to have a “Connex Board” and a “peak and tune” done to their radios. The “Connex Board” is a echo feature added to the inside of the radio, so as to distort (echo) the voice it also adds a talk back feature so the operator can hear themselves through an external speaker.

  Most drivers I know usually buy a decent radio ($150.00) then they buy a cheap antenna to go with it. Well this won t work, your antenna is 95% of your cb outfit. I recommend any Wilson antenna, especially a Wilson 2000 or Wilson 5000. These range in price from $50.00 to $100.00 and that is usually installed. Yes, have it installed by a tech so that they can set your SWR for your antenna. SWR- Standing Wave Ratio this is what makes your radio talk. If you have a SWR of above a 3 or more it will burn your radio up. The tech will use a SWR meter connected to your coax and antenna to check it s SWR reading. If it is to high they will cut some of the antenna whip off 1/8″ increments, until a satisfactory SWR is reached. If you do not want to spend a lot on an antenna at least buy one that is tunable.

  The coax is another big part of the radios performance. Which would be caught by a good tech when they were installing your “new” antenna. But if you are already using the radio and you notice it drops in performance, it will either usually be the SWR or the coax. Truck stops sell precut lengths of coax, usually you will need a 18 piece to replace what is bad runs about $25.00, I recommend the gray or clear coax. If you are just replacing the coax you can do this yourself, unless you want the SWR checked.

  I hope maybe this has shed some light on what to buy.

  Be safe out there

  I am 36 years old, and I have been driving trucks for 11 years. I have also worked on farms and been in the construction field for several years as well. I have driven for several different companies, and worked for several different construction companies.
  What I write about in the trucking articles is what I have experienced.

  Free Your Hands With Bluetooth Wireless Headsets
  By Mike Selvon

  Sometimes you just need to talk on the phone at the same time that you need to accomplish another important task or two. And, in this day and age, when the ability to multi-task is ever more important, Bluetooth wireless headsets are a huge help.

  Bluetooth headsets are hands-free, wire-free devices that you simply attach onto your ear. This gives you the freedom to take care of other important tasks, such as using the computer, doing the dishes, driving the car, or anything else that is better done with both hands, yet still allows you to carry on a phone conversation.

  Bluetooth wireless headsets can be used with Bluetooth enabled phones which allows you to talk on your cell phone, both hands-free and without wires that might get tangled up in your task. But there are other uses for a Bluetooth wireless headset as well. You could use it to connect to a computer that is Bluetooth enabled which would allow you to listen to music and use your VoIP phone.

  The popularity of its headsets has continually increased since they were first introduced. They have proven to make people s lives easier and more productive, not to mention safer, when it comes to being able to drive with both hands on the wheel and still have a clear conversation via your cell phone.

  Bluetooth headsets are also being designed to be more stylish and in some circles, could even be considered a fashion, or at least a technology statement. If you are ever in a store or an airport or waiting in line at the movies and see someone who appears to be talking to themselves, it s a good bet that if you could catch a glimpse of the other ear, you would see their Bluetooth wireless headset.

  Another advantage of wireless headsets over their wired predecessors, is that this mobile wireless technology also delivers crystal clear quality of sound. In addition, you can use your enabled headset to use all of the voice activated commands that are available in your wireless phone. This makes it easy to send, receive and even make phone calls from your cell phone even if it is stowed away in a purse, pocket or briefcase, as long as your phone has functions that can be voice activated.

  When you are considering which of the available headsets is best for you, there are a number of different features that you should check out. Since there are so many choices, a Bluetooth wireless headset should have just the right compliment of functions that you require.

  One of the first things you will want to check on in a wireless headset, is the range of the device. The range will vary somewhat depending of the version and the power class. In most cases, a Bluetooth wireless headset will be able to connect to other devices of this technology within a range of about 30 feet.

  Active noise reduction (ANR) is an important feature to look for in a wireless headset. ANR headsets use a specific technology that is able to reduce the ambient noise from your surroundings. This is especially helpful in improving your conversations while you are on the road or anytime you have a lot of background noise.

  One popular feature that is available on some Bluetooth wireless headsets is an LCD display. This tiny display on your headset allows you to see who is calling with the Caller ID feature. It also allows you to access the features of your Bluetooth wireless headset.

  Find People By Phone Number - Your Easy Guide
  By Davion Wong

  Why would anyone want to find people by phone number? There are many reasons why people need to know the identity of the caller. You may be a victim of prank calls or a suspected affair between your partner and the caller. It could even be that the phone owner is a long lost relative or friend and the number you have is an old one which you are not sure if it works anymore.

  It is easy to find people by phone number if you have the area code as well as the 7 digit number. Most people may be using free reverse phone directories online as starters. It works alright if the number is a listed landline number and you may end up finding the full name of the phone owner as well as his or her address.

  Sad to say, in most cases, the search is a futile one. This is because if the number is not a landline that is listed in the public domain, you would not find out anything. This is like finding a needle in the entire ocean as there are simply many numbers that are not published as public domain property. Cell phone numbers, VoIP numbers, unlisted landlines are just examples of numbers that can not be found in free directories.

  So What Is Your Only Option To Find The Owner of The Phone?

  If you do not want to be disappointed, then a paid service is what you should consider. It is easy and cost little to find the information you are seeking. This is in fact the most widely used method for investigators and law enforcers to find people by phone number. You can be assured that you would find any number that ever existed when you use the databases which are regularly kept up to date.

  For those who want more than just the full name and address, you can make use of their expanded people search feature to trace every single public record about the owner of the phone. The search can be as detailed as finding whether the person has ever committed a crime, or who his or her current neighbours are.

  In case you think that a reverse search is very complicated, you can be assured that it is not. Believe it or not, even a 7 year old kid can handle that. Once the payment is processed, you are instantly shown to the members interface where you just enter the area code and phone number. Click the search icon and within moments, the system would match this set of numbers against their huge database and send you the search results.

  Is There a Possibility You Cannot Find People By Phone Number with The Services?

  While this is unlikely to happen, should you be unable to find what you need, you do not need to pay for the service. But this is applicable only with well-run services with a 100% money-back guarantee. Not every service comes with that though. Perhaps you want to try out a demo at my search site and begin the search instantly to find people by phone number.

  Start your reverse cell phone search immediately to discover everything you need. Also, read another of his popular article on reverse cell phone lookup.
