DAY ONE
INTERNET BASICS
One of the biggest
challenges facing professionals in the infocomm sector is conquering the dense,
seemingly endless, yet absolutely essential language of telecommunications.
During Day One Internet infrastructure communications fundamentals are
presented in non-technical terms. The focus is on developing an understanding
of the forces driving the revolutionary changes in infrastructures worldwide,
on providing clear explanations of communications fundamentals, the differences
between circuit and packet switching, the nature of transmission media, and the
architecture of the most pervasive of telecommunications infrastructures. Day
One provides an examination of the Internet and IP infrastructures, the
services and applications supported and planned, the challenges it faces, and
how it is likely to evolve in the future. E-commerce and E-business concepts,
issues and models are discussed providing a glimpse into the dramatically
shifting nature of business processes, customer relations and revenue
generation.
