In
The Communications Revolution That Is Sweeping The Globe,
You Either Lead, Follow Or Get Left By The Side Of The Road.
Telecommunications
is considered an advanced transportation technology in that
its increased application can have a significant influence
in reducing traffic congestion and mobile source emissions.
It is also the technology that will reinvent the way people
live, work and entertain themselves.
Telecommunications technology encompasses a number of sub-technologies
including: telecommunities, telecommuting, teleconferencing,
teleservices, tele-education, telemedicine, teleshopping and
telebanking. All use electronics to move information and/or
pictures that allow work or transactions to be done from home,
from a neighborhood work center or other work location, reducing
the number of vehicle trips to accomplish the same purpose.
The only barriers to market penetration are infrastructures
permitting faster transmission (broadband/wireless/digital),
and wider acceptance of telecommunications concepts.
Because so much excellent material regarding telecommunications
exists on the Web, and because the technology is progressing
so rapidly, our objective here is to briefly explain concepts.
