Broadband network development does not always track closely a nations overall wealth and economic strength. The International Telecommunication Union reported that in 2005 the five top nations for broadband network market penetration were: Korea, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Denmark and Canada. The ITU ranked the United States sixteenth in broadband penetration. Aside from the obvious geographic...

In this paper we investigate the effects of broadband infrastructure providing high speed internet, on economic growth in developing countries. We have used two different broadband measures to classify developing countries into two groups for the period 1999-2008. By using logistic diffusion model and IV approach, a nonlinear diffusion model is specified. Differences in ceiling of diffusion cur...

This paper highlights the differences in Quality of Service (QoS) definitions for wired high speed ATM networks and wireless broadband ATM networks. In particular, we highlight the issues behind QoS mapping and discuss several frameworks for QoS adaptation in wireless broadband networks. We explain the need for end-to-end adaptation and reveal how such adaptation occurs during mobile handoffs. ...

To support a wide range of multimedia services future fixed and wireless broadband network capabilities should allow the distribution of service functions between the customer terminals and the network nodes. Intelligent Networks (IN) can be considered as the bridging technology between the customer based service management and the service execution in the networks. Considering the mobile and b...
