Net Telephone Services In Trouble 911 FCC Rules Upheld

Net telephone service providers are facing a huge problem. A court has upheld FCC regulations requiring the voice over internet protocol providers to provide 911 services.
911 Rules
As you know, traditional telephone companies provide 911 call services to customers. Under long established laws, the traditional telephone companies are required to automatically route such calls to a geographically appropriate area and deliver the originating phone number and address of the call. Net telephone services haven t done this in the past as the technical reading of the regulations didn t require them to. Now the regulations do and it is causing problems.
VOIP net telephone services are having severe difficulty complying with the FCC regulations. The calls are not routed through a traditional telephone line structure, which makes it very hard to determine the original calling number and address. On top of this, it is extraordinarily difficult to route the calls to the appropriate geographic emergency phone call center. Throw in politics and you have a boondoggle in the making.
911 In A Digital Age
In many cases, government agencies fail to appreciate the complexities of the Internet and digital technology. They have a habit of issuing rules and regulations that are either antiquated or impossible to implement. The FCC and FTC are famous for doing so, particularly since the agencies seem to have the technical sophistication of dinosaur. On the issue of 911 rules for net telephone services, however, the FCC has acted appropriately.
911 is a critical service that must be made available to the public. It performs a service that is both needed and necessary. As the net telephone services seek bigger shares of the commercial market, they must also assume larger responsibility for the services they provide. This is particularly true for 911 services.
911 emergency call centers help save lives. In health risk situations, time is almost always a critical component in the outcome. Given as much, the FCC has acted appropriately in requiring net telephone services to provide 911 services to customers.

The SIM card and My Curiosity s Satisfaction

Have you ever thought what cope with that golden plate inserted into his cell phone? I did it, so I looked for information and now I can share with you what I found out.

When I was a girl, I was always interested in knowing what is inside of different devices and tools of my father kept in his garage. He wanted to know what he keeps in his boxes of different sizes, which is in its furniture. My dad used to spend much time in his garage, something that often my mom was mad him.

Being a child, I was thinking: " As my father, an adult, is keen to spend so much time with his pieces parts for his car, for radio and their tools, there is something interesting about them, my mom does not know about ".

So, when I had the opportunity, I spending my time alone in my father& 39;s garage, trying to figure out his secret. I was not able to understand what is keeping him there, but I had the curiosity of interested to hear about all the staff who remained in garage.

My curiosity had much place to get satisfaction. Sometimes this curiosity led me to disclose the radio, my father was listening all the time, being in the garage. Incidentally, I tried to repair several times until it stopped working. Even now my father has in his garage 5 broken radios, which I have tried to repair!

This curiosity is still with me and I am glad for that. By the way, it affected my team, like when I bought what I had no knowledge in hardware and software. I did not even know the difference between them. But I wanted to know what computer is. This made me try different programs, go to the different configurations and learn to manage. There were several times when my good friends had come to me and repair of computers, but the good news is that I have learned many new things!

Guess what is my next obsession technical curiosity? I can tell. This is my mobile phone. In my country I had to buy a phone and a corresponding number of separately. I was curious to see how they connect. And I came to know that there is a golden plaque, which must be placed in the cell phone, which contains my number. Looking carefully at the plate, I do not know anything. So I gave up for a while only with the understanding that the board is called a SIM card.

For not long ago that I started working for a company that offers different software, including mobile phone software. Once again I have heard of this gold plate. The study of this company products, I learned that this board contains a chip, which has the information stored in it. I& 39;ve seen this chip embedded in smart cards and tokens, which offer software for too.

First I learned that my memory card is partially filled with the wireless provider of information and that there is a free space available for data on my contacts I can add and manage. Producer inserted my phone number on the card, your name and other data, which can not be removed or replaced by myself. The other part of the memory can be used for data storage, like my phone numbers or SMSs. Some of the information, which I may add, can be stored on this card, another - in the phone memory.

Now I wanted to have access to my personal data on the card. I was thinking for a while longer on the opportunity to do so with the card management software on my computer, which could easily help to make the order in my phone entries (like editing some numbers, adding and deleting others New once).

The company I work for gave me an opportunity to test a user-friendly software, called Dekart SIM Manager. This software helped me get easily within my SIM card. You can imagine how happy I was that I was finally get the opportunity to access my phone using data from personal computers instead of keyboard phone! I was anticipating long been my desire for achievement. It was so exciting!

Thanks to Dekart SIM Manager came to know that my card has protection instruments, like the PIN codes. I have heard of them and always confused about using them. Now, with this I could easily friendly software designed to manage these new codes too.

One thing that was able to ascertain from the developers of this software, it also supports the Universal SIM cards is the third generation mobile generation wireless systems, as well as different types of SIM cards for GSM, which contains more than 250 calendar entries.

My needs of an individual user, are totally satisfied with this software opportunities to manage my contacts and codes. I think it may be for real use for GSM operators, which requires special characteristics, such as the ability to view SIM serial number, PIN1 state, technical data of the agenda, its memory size and the number of self - entries.

My curiosity was completely satisfied. Even gave me much more! What about you? Please send me a line in liubac@excite.com

My Uncle and Vintage 286 Computer

You may have heard his uncle or father spouting odd numbers in their portraits of their great team of experts - 286, 386 and 8088 and and. Confused? What do these numbers. After all I know are Pentium computers and perhaps some other models such as Dell, IBM and Intel Core Duo. The transformer. These model numbers refer to the lineage of Intel central processing units (CPUs) found in modern To begin the 8088 is the oldest of the first computer central processing unit (CPU) variant of the models. which means a rectangular case with two rows of 20 pins. DPI is in favour of Dual In-Line Package. 80800 CPUs of age are called 8088-2. As can only operate at lower speeds (I do not think 5 MHz or slower compared to the 4000 MHz computer now). Certainly 8088 was the equivalent of about 27000 transistors. Competition from IBM PC makers not - " of clone makers " who built computers from the same components as " real " IBM PC. These hot rodders of its day soup until this first version PC chip at a rate unprecedented Not only was the speed of computer power that sales growth for those involved in cloning. We must remember that before all the IBM PC IBM hardware was held at the home of IBM. The IBM PC - personal computer was remarkable in that most of the ingredients are in third - which is made by outside suppliers whose names the fact according to the rules were often developed for products and production inn. In the worst of them are now standard IBM. The die was established, when people like Michael Dell realized that we could put together an IBM PC-see equal for equal work and sell it for $ 3000 instead of the approximate $ 10000 for genuine IBM PC was off and running. Although it is often said that corporate buyers " One can never go wrong buying IBM " then for geeks and fans of computer users this is an entirely different business plan. They were referred to as " Turbo " PCs. However it is not only cost propulsion that the computer industry in the future. Were it not for innovators - the creator of cloning to engineers from companies such as Compaq Computer you could still be using primitive IBM PC now running at 5 MHz. The Turbo PC / XT clones then ran to the unbelievable and unprecedented speed of 6.6, 8.0 or even 7.16 MHz. Computer giant IBM monolith was leader of the industry not only is making every effort to do with fools. Like Apple Computer in California far, but now that it had released announced his long personal computer UpStage them in their own playground. I next in line along the path of evolution was vintage computer chip 80286. Designed by Intel in 1981 the 286 Wallop of a packed more power than the 8088 did. The 80286 is the equivalent of about 130000 transistors in similar volume of 8088 & 39; s 29000 transistors. Not unexpectedly similar to the heat problem of the current Pentium computers kind of extra cooling requirement is needed. We are left today in our modern computers with the benefits of electronic engineers in anticipation of the day with inventions of various types of heat sinks. Sinks heat in one way or another are in force radiators to dissipate heat in the same way and means to enable him to take his car.
Lastly came the 386 chipset which is the direct ancestor of our modern Pentiums. The chip is called correctly 80386 by the still leading manufacture of Intel chips. Introduced in 1985, 80386, is presented in a PGA package and is the equivalent of about 250000 transistors. The 386 variants of a large quantity of programming, including the ability to multitask vital core DOS programs with the help of programs like " hyerpervisor " DesQview / 386 or VRM/386. Its 32-bit data speeds via data access. It is interesting to note that later took hardware over the next 486 chips on a large scale was fully take advantage of these built in innovations.
Interestingly enough there was also a small powerful and less expensive sports such similar moniker name of the so-called 386SX CPU. The 386SX is identical, except in the real version of 386 - the 386DX with the exception of the vital fact that there was a boy of 16 bits of data via stating that allows be more easily incorporated into earlier and less costly type AT 286 16-bit hardware. Imagine the confusion at the time computer buyers who do not have ready access to information as we do today on the Internet. Many people bought what they thought were at an advanced computer 386, in essence, have a much smaller version. Most likely, they were more than impressed with his own research, purchase of computers and negotiating skills.
In the end regardless get what you pay. The legendary John Dvorak " Act Dvorak is that " No matter what they say their next computer will cost ... " At the time that 8088 was then $ 10000 $ 5000 $ $ 3000, $ 1500 now $ 500 to 800 perhaps. At the end you get a tremendous amount of value for your money. Although one can say well you get what you pay.
