Submarine Cable Investment
There is an increasing capacity and reliability on submarine cables as they present faster and higher quality connectivity around the globe. At present, one million kilometers of underwater cables have been installed, forming a network to carry large amounts of traffic between all continents (About fiber-optic submarine cable networks, 2005). That is enough cable to go around the world thirty times. The capacity is 320 Gbit/s per fiber, which is enough to transmit more than fifteen million voice circuits simultaneously on a typical underwater cable comprised of four pairs of optical fibers.
The capacity is most important for reducing the cost of long distance communication as a result of; 1) extraordinary capacity of the technology lowering the costs per circuit, 2) the high supply of capacity owing to huge amounts of investment, and 3) the stiff competition between companies using submarine cable networks. All long distance intercontinental signals inevitably flow into the backbone composed...
With the ring-based self-healing structure, all information will reach its destination with high quality. The submarine cable network works silently and efficiently, ensures very high and immediate availability, and is protected by a medium that shows no changes that might undermine integrity.
Tata Communications has been the most active operator of submarine cables (Beryl, 2010). Some major companies abroad include Reliance, Bharti Airtel, MTNL, and BSNL. Some of the key players, Tata, Pacnet, Cable & Wireless, and Verizon, are looking at launching new lines within the next three to five years. The submarine cable business is vastly becoming a fast growing business as demand for higher connectivity among nations is on the rise.
Internet service providers buy fiber-optic line space from these companies and sell it to their customers for a monthly fee. Networks that are connected to the submarine cables allow businesses and individuals higher quality accessibility to…

Canadian Telecommunication Act Telecommunication Act Amendments have been made in Canadian Telecommunication Act in order to liberalize the telecommunication for foreign investors. The goal of this policy is to increase revenue, develop technological infrastructure and to increase competition in the telecommunication sector. Analysis of Canadian Telecommunication Act In recent times, amendments have been made in Canadian Telecommunication Act. These changes concentrated on removing foreign ownership restrictions that "previously restricted foreign telecommunication service providers
To avoid repeating negative historical experiences, regulatory regimes need to block the control and domination by networks/platforms. In the report, "Infrastructure and Development: A Critical Appraisal of the Macro Level Literature," Stephane Straub (2007) reported that at times, in some developing companies, "the hope of getting a fixed-line installed is a distant and costly dream" (p. 4). Meantime, the primary option for the individuals waiting for fixed-line telecommunications services
' Purchasing agents can place orders, gather information, and communicate with different organizations from any place at any time" (Martin & Hafer, p. 41). Following the introduction of the Internet, many purchasing departments and purchasing representatives were better able to engage in direct communications, order taking and fulfillment as well as the provision of technical support with their business counterparts abroad (Martin & Hafer, 2002). These authors add that, "The
Research Aim The purpose of this research is to investigate customer's loyalty throughout the dimensions of satisfaction, trust and commitment for mobile phone industry in Bangkok, Thailand. In addition, this research also provides practical knowledge which customers are dissimilar in satisfaction and look for different levels of relationship with mobile phones. To sum up briefly, it is completely useful for marketers to comprehend which paradigms affect customers to create good relationship
This project is expected to greatly enhance the countries' economic interdependence with its neighbors (Owen, 2000). Currency and its rate with U.S. Dollar. The Qatari Riyal (QR) is the official currency; the QR is divided into 100 dirhams (A Dictionary of Business, 1996). Major industries. Major industries include crude oil production and refining, ammonia, fertilizers, petrochemicals, steel reinforcing bars, cement, and commercial ship repair (Qatar, 2005).

Merger between WorldCom and Sprint Corporation The past few years have been characterized by trends such as privatization, liberalization and deregulation in industries once managed by the government. Take the telecommunications sector as an example: In the early 1990s, over 129 countries set up privately owned regulatory agencies, and another 100 countries privatized the government-controlled telecom companies. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) of the US telecom Industry strives to control competition,
