Telecommunication History
- Samuel Morse granted patent for electrical telegraph – 1837
- Alexander Graham Bell Patented the telephone – 1876
- Formed Bell Telephone - 1877 - local telephone exchanges
www.greenITcenter.org
Telecommunication History (cont)
- AT&T formed in 1885 - connected the local Bell companies
- Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patents expire 1893 -1894 Telephone industry open to competition. Over 6,000 companies start in ten years.
- AT&T became a regulated monopoly in 1913. Kingsbury Commitment, published in 1914. They connected competing local companies and the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) approved prices and policies.

Telecommunication History (cont)
- Federal government nationalizes telecommunications industry for national security reasons. 1918 World War I
- Industry returned to private control - August 1919
- AT&T agrees to terms of anti-trust suit – 1982 - forced to give up its 22 local Bell companies. Agreement known as Modification of Final Judgment (MFJ). Seven Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) were established

Telecommunication History (cont)
- EIA/TIA released 568 Commercial Building Wiring Standard - 1991 - AKA structured cabling.
- Telecommunications Act of 1996 - First major overhaul of telecommunications law in 62 years. Allows anyone to enter communications business. Allows any communications business to compete in any market
Since the seven RBOCs were formed many changes have occurred: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKHg15rgCRA

International Standards Organization
International Standards Organization (ISO)- National standards institutes of 157 countries - One member per country - Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland coordinates
organization - Created OSI model

Federal Communication Commission
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) - Independent United States government agency- Responsible to Congress - Established by the Communications Act of 1934- Regulates interstate and international radio, television,
wire, satellite and cable communications- Covers 50 states, District of Columbia, and U.S.
possessions.

Communications standards organization
ITU Telecommunication (ITU-T) - Coordinates standards for telecommunications.
Predecessor organization of the Comite Consultatif International Telephonique et Telegraphique (CCITT)
ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) - Standards subcommittee relating to radio communication.

CCITT standards
Group 3: protocol for sending fax documents across telephone lines.
Group 4 : protocol for sending fax documents over ISDN networks.
V.21: standard for full-duplex communication at 300 baud in Japan and
Europe.
V.22 : standard for half-duplex communication at 1,200 bps in Japan
and Europe
V.22bis : standard for full-duplex modems sending and receiving data
across telephone lines
www.greenITcenter.org
CCITT standards
V.29: standard for half-duplex modems sending and receiving data
across telephone lines
V.32 : standard for full-duplex modems sending and receiving data
across phone lines at 4,800 or 9,600 bps.
V.32: modems automatically adjust their transmission speeds based on
the quality of the lines.
V.32bis: The V.32 protocol extended to speeds of 7,200, 12,000, and
14,400 bps.

CCITT standards
V.34 : standard for full-duplex modems sending and receiving
data across phone lines at up to 28,800 bps.
V.34 modems automatically adjust their transmission speeds
based on the quality of the lines.
V.42 : error-detection standard for high-speed modems.
V.42bis: data compression protocol that can enable modems to
achieve a data transfer rate of 34,000 bps.

Trends in Networks
• Move towards digital
• Applications abound
• Revenue driving competition
• Interoperability
• FCC authority and broadband
• Green IT
www.greenITcenter.org
Move towards digital
• POTS to Packets (plain old Telephone system))
TDM analogPacket
Frame RelayATMCarrier Ethernet
• OpticalSONETFCoE - Fiber Channel over
Ethernet
www.greenITcenter.org
Trends in Networks: Influencers
•Applications and software development
•Terminal manufacturers•Apple•RIM •Motorola
•Third party developers•OS, applications•Services to manufacturers, carriers
www.greenITcenter.org
Revenue Driving Competition
• carriers and terminal manufacturers • price competition at the residential level• support to legacy equipment used by carriers
a. reduced supportb. absence of support
• one position is to posture about innovations• another is to provide CAPEX to build
www.greenITcenter.org
POTS to Digital Voice• Modem to digital
equipment• Bandwidth• Error correction• Security
Wired to wireless applications• Vice versa• What are the drivers?
Interoperability
www.greenITcenter.org
FCC – Wants common carrier restrictions on ISPs
•Net neutrality (very controversial – must follow news)•Regulations FCC wants:
Section 201: provide access to other carriersSection 202: no undue or unreasonable
prejudice or disadvantage Section 208: right to file complaints if 201, 202 violatedSection 222: privacy restrictionsSection 254: transform Universal Service Fund
to include broadband to underserved areas
FCC Authority and Broadband

Green IT (research for answers “google it”)
What does it mean to be Green? Why is it important?
Energy conservation Data Center energy use is extremely high
Equipment generates lots of heat Air conditioners (ACs) also generate heat, BUT the AC’s purpose is to offset the heat computers and other
equipment generate it too requires lots of energy How can WE conserve energy? How can Companies conserve energy Can building construction be Green? How?
