Broadband Telecommunications
 

• Innovations in Broadband Technologies
Broadband technologies can be studied as innovations in technology. By examining these technologies as innovations, one can look into the factors that impact its diffusion and adoption in an organization. The adoption characteristics of an innovation can have interesting influences on its product (business) life cycle.
• Top down approach to modeling broadband-based services
Modeling Broadband based services involves several interesting factors. One can roughly categorize these as economic, network and behavioral factors. While the model interactions between these factors and their underlying variables may be clear, the degree of differences between network topologies, services and user behavior is so large, that a flat model becomes too complex to encompass all the details. An encapsulation from the top to the very fine details can hope to encompass the entire mammoth.
• Multi-dimensional approach to modeling cable, ISDN and xDSL based networks
By creating a single custom model for a network topology one can only approximate its results to another topology. However, by using a multidimensional approach, on can account for the differences between different media and topologies such as cable, ISDN, or xDSL technologies.
• Economic viability and cost benefit analysis of broadband based services to the home
Finally, one needs to research into the ultimate viability and benefit issue of providing high speed Internet, video-on-demand, and other services to the home. If these services prove to be economically viable in the long run, and cost beneficial in the near future, then one can hope for a totally networked smart home some day.

• Approaches to removing the World Wide Wait
The issue for World Wide Wait is simply one - bandwidth; the approaches are at two extremes. Expand bandwidth through broadband and make way for the future information super highways, and tackle the current bandwidth trickle by "pushing" only what you need to your desktop. As I see it, push technology is the short term answer, while broadband is the final solution.
• Push Technology and Decision Support
Reactive and proactive approaches to decision support make an important case for distributing control between the client pull and server push. By employing advanced database concepts, push technology based information systems can extensively deliver efficiency to each and every corporate desktop.

• Decisional Guidance in Education.
Education support can be provided by defining the bounds of an often ill-structured problem. Then, using problem solving techniques, one can develop the structure around the problem and "give it a name". This process can be enhanced by providing decisional guidance for problem solving.
