Directions: Select a topic from the case studies in the text. You may choose any of the topics, except those covered in previous assignments. Examples of topics you might investigate include: using telecommunications to keep in touch with co-workers; telecommunications innovation; managing telecommunications; emerging telecommunications technologies; and so on. Do independent research on your topic and present your findings in a 15-20 page position paper (based on the body of the paper, excluding references, abstracts, table of contents, etc). It is critical that you display an understanding of material from the text and lectures. Your paper should incorporate material from at least 5 sources. Appropriate sources are: textbooks, Web sites that contain professional or scholarly content, professional magazines, and other academic sources. Identify your sources and format the paper using APA or MLA format. Use 12 point, Times New Roman font and double line spacing throughout the paper (do not use excess spacing between paragraphs). Your paper should: ← Provide an abstract of your research or position ← Cleary identify your objectives ← Present your findings ← Analyze your opinion ← Present material to support your opinion ← Draw conclusions from your analysis ← Make recommendations for further research ← Be properly referenced Submission: Create a .zip file containing your Word document. This is the end of the Final Project. Telecommunications: Always connected in a wired world I have been going back and forth for some time on what exactly I was going to do for this final project.

Before we get to that let’s take a look at the top 10 telecommunications events from the past, according to the telecommunications history group http://www.telcomhistory.org, who offer a great outline found below. The fact is that the information age we now live in was a culmination of these and many other advancements in the field of Telecommunications. In my lifetime, I have been purview to many amazing changes. I have had a hand in using, benefiting from, and developing much of what we now take for granted. One simple thing remains certain and that is that the events of our past shape our future and without telecommunications life would not be what we know it.

The telecommunications industry is of vital importance to the development of the information-based economy. AT&T need to supply access to cost efficient, timely and innovative telecommunications services.
Throughout the 1970s, concerted industry efforts at the federal, state and local levels resulted in continued lessening of cable restrictions. These changes, couples with cables pioneering to satellite communications technology, led to a pronounced growth of services to consumers and a substantial increase in cable subscribers.
write about for the topic. It is all right to change the subject many times if I absolutely have to.
I think that our course project should address a strong pain point of the market for which customers will be highly interested. The technology and the business model must create barriers for others to copy. The team and the people that we know (our network) are certainly crucial for the success of the project as at this point especially; it is our core means for the success of our goals. The market should have a good size and significant growth prospects but since our idea is dealing with high technology and social media, this is likely a criterion for which we suffice.
Telecommunications gained mainstream attention in the early 90’s; however the initial key market was business men and women, who used their phones whilst being on the move and so allowing them to communicate with their companies with ease. Though in the modern era, telecommunication went through segmentation in the market trends, and now in this day and age it would be difficult to find someone who does not own some form of mobile technology. Many phone providers battle to provide the best service for their customers (Figure 1).
On March 10th, 1876, a revolutionary invention was created by Alexander Graham Bell. The telephone was invented to send vibrations from one receiver to another electrically (History.com ‘Speech Transmitted by Telephone’ accessed on March 11, 2014), and due to Alexander Graham Bell accidentally discovering that he could hear the sound of a ‘clock spring twanging’ (Marry Bellis, ‘The History of the Telephone’ accessed on March 11, 2014), that was possible. The invention of the telephone permitted new levels of communication, allowed families connect around the world, and improved military systems, but also served negative consequences, such as breached privacy. If two people wanted to have a conversation, they would have to write letters back and forth, but with the telephone they were able to pick up the receiver, dial the number, and be connected in a matter of minutes. Telephones enabled long-distance communication, which allowed families to converse despite their location. Military officials and soldiers were also able to stay in touch through field telephones as well as keep contact with the president. Although telephones were originally placed in general stores or other major city locations and homes/neighborhoods that were wired (Elon.edu ‘World Changes Due to the Telephone’ accessed on April 2, 2014), telephones became commonly used in homes in the early twentieth century when telephones began to connect internationally.
The Telephone System The telephone is one of the most creative and prized inventions in the world. It has advanced from its humble beginnings to its wireless communication technology today and for the future. The inhabitants of the earth have long communicated over a distance, which has been done by shouting from one hilltop or tower to another. The word "telephone" originated from a combination of two Greek words: "tele", meaning far off, and "phone", meaning voice or sound, and became the known term for "far- speaking." A basic telephone usually contains a transmitter, that transfers the caller's voice, and a receiver, that amplifies sound from an In the transmitter there are two common kinds of transmitters: the carbon transmitter, and the electric transmitter.

Since its inception, the telephone has become one of the most important inventions of all time. Although some were skeptical about its replacement over telegrams, in the end the advent of this fine communication equipment has won the hearts of many. As a matter of fact, the telephone system had come to numerous facelifts that it literally connected the world before the internet was born. Because of its importance, homes and businesses can not live without it. In the U.S. alone, most if not all have a phone in the house.
...ved way for many recent technology advancements. Media is ever changing and with one invention becoming inexistent, another is born. Many of the earlier communications inventions have advanced and developed to fit the needs of society today. Although one would think that all technology becomes obsolete when another advancement is made, the truth is that almost nothing disappears; it just advances to fit the technology of the time period. The Internet has been integrated on almost every aspect of technology today and continues to grow by the second. I’ve always thought about whether or not someone could create something that is larger than the Internet, a new technology that has been unheard of until its release. With new technology, anything is possible.
