29 INTERNET [CRACKED]
Some countries do not allow their citizens to use the internet. The government in some countries like China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria either ban their citizens or limit their freedom when using the internet.
29 INTERNET
The internet is defined as a remote connection between two computers. The first internet connection was made on October 29th, 1969. This was just two months after Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. To commemorate the event, International Internet Day was celebrated for the first time on October 29th, 2005. International Internet Day is promoted by the Association of Internet Users.
Hyperconnected. Always on. These terms have been invented to describe the environment created when people are linked continuously through tech devices to other humans and to global intelligence. Teens and young adults have been at the forefront of the rapid adoption of the mobile internet and the always-on lifestyle it has made possible.
The most recent nationally representative surveys of the Pew Internet Project show how immersed teens and young adults are in the tech environment and how tied they are to the mobile and social sides of it. Some 95% of teens ages 12-17 are online, 76% use social networking sites, and 77% have cell phones. Moreover, 96% of those ages 18-29 are internet users, 84% use social networking sites, and 97% have cell phones. Well over half of those in that age cohort have smartphones and 23% own tablet computers like iPads.
I can see this in the living experiment that takes place every week in the computer lab where I teach internet technologies to fourth-year communication studies majors. Students everywhere have become relentless in their use of mobile devices for personal messaging. Even good students delude themselves into thinking they can text friends continuously while listening to a lecture and taking notes and, in the process, retain information and participate in discussions. But good research has shown that even especially bright kids are less productive when multitasking, a finding resisted by plenty of grown-ups as well.
You wouldn't dare refrain from pizza on National Pizza Day, so why unplug from the web on National Internet Day? Well, because we can! Most of us use the internet everyday, and it can be easy to forget how much we depend on it. By taking a day off, we can appreciate the offline world as well.
Thirty years ago, only the world's wealthiest individuals and institutions had access to a library of information comparable with what's online today. While it's still not an entirely free process, the price of information access has fallen dramatically with the rise of the internet, putting infinite information into the pockets of billions across the globe.
For a tool that so many people use so differently, there's one part of the internet that seems constant: cats. From long cat to Grumpy cat, our feline friends have become quick celebrities on the internet, and as history tells us, we're always looking for a new hero. The internet delivers every day!
Thank you for mentioning that they pay internet service providers to move their traffic to broadband access networks and pay content delivery networks to store their content close to the end-users; many content providers even carry out these services themselves. My sister stated that she requires a good internet connection in order to store content close to end users. I'll assist my sister in finding Internet service providers.
President Joe Biden discusses the Affordable Connectivity Program and a new agreement from 20 internet companies to offer all eligible households high-quality internet plans for no more than $30/month in remarks on May 9, 2022.
The 20 internet companies that have agreed to lower their rates provide service in areas where 80% of the U.S. population, including 50% of the rural population, live, according to the White House. Participating companies that offer service on tribal lands are providing $75 rates in those areas, the equivalent of the federal government subsidy.
The $1 trillion infrastructure package passed by Congress last year included $14.2 billion in funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program. It provides $30 monthly subsidies ($75 in tribal areas) on internet service for millions of lower-income households.
Internet in the Philippines first became available on March 29, 1994, 10:18 a.m. With the Philippine Network Foundation (PHNet) connecting the country and its people to Sprint in the United States via a 64 kbit/s link.[1][2][3]As of February 2022, there are around 76 million people using the internet in the country, penetrating 68% of the total population.[4]
March 27, 2022: Satellite internet service provider Starlink has received approval of its registration from the country's National Telecommunications Commission,[18] setting the country as the first in Southeast Asia to have Starlink broadband service. This comes at the heels of the passage of Republic Act No. 11659 amending the Public Service Act passed in 1936.[19][20] The amendment allows 100% foreign ownership of three primary public services which are telecommunications, airline, and railways.
In October 2015, PLDT introduced so-called "volume boosters" (instead of 30% bandwidth throttling in 2014 and 256kbit/s bandwidth throttling in 2015) when exceeding monthly 30GB to 70GB bandwidth cap for TD-LTE connection plans (Ultera). "In case your usage exceeds your monthly volume allowance, you can still enjoy the internet by purchasing additional volume boosters. Otherwise, connectivity will be halted until your monthly volume is refreshed on your next billing cycle."[24] Globe followed suit with a similar "volume boost" arrangement.[25]
The Akamai Technologies Q1 2017 State of the Internet report contained information that, though average internet connection speed had increased 20% year-on-year, the Philippines, at 5.5 Mbit/s, once again had the lowest average connection speeds among surveyed Asia Pacific countries/regions. The report noted that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had approved a plan with a three to five-year timeline for completion to deploy a national broadband network at an estimated cost of US$1.5 billion to $4.0 billion.[30]
Internet speed improved drastically after President Rodrigo Duterte in SONA 2020 ordered telecommunications companies Smart Communications and Globe Telecom to improve their services in the next five months,[31][32] and warned local government units to act on permit applications of telecommunications firms within three days or be charged with corruption or face possible suspension.[33] In February 2022, the average fixed broadband download speeds rose from 7.91 Mbit/s to 82.61 Mbit/s, a 944% growth. Average mobile internet speeds have also seen a 467% growth at 42.22 Mbit/s from 7.44 Mbit/s since the start of the Duterte administration.[34]
In 2020, when the outbreak of COVID-19 upend the world, the importance of having reliable internet connection was realized more than ever. That is when the Philippine government outrightly pressured the existing internet service providers in the country,[37] to hasten their infrastructure development, to keep up with the swiftly growing demand for fast and stable connection. The focus quickly shifted from DSL to fiber internet.[38] Additionally, new telco players commenced operations in order to provide the needs of the public. With work-from-home and online learning in place and seems to be working well now, there is no assurance as to when will there ever be a flat line in the demand for better connectivity.
Sometimes appreciating a character and coining them as your TV boyfriend is exactly the kind of fun that a show deserves. The internet has even made it a phenomenon, with fans growing attached to a character and that becoming the online boyfriend for the fandom world for a month or two.
The internet is the result of many small inventions and contributions of hundreds of individuals and organizations but the birth of the Internet all started on this day in 1969 just a few months after man first walked on the moon. It was this day that the first message was transmitted through ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), a network funded by the US Defense Department that connected four independent terminals installed at ULCA, Stanford, the University of California-Santa Barbara and the University of Utah.
If you've ever lived in small-town America, you know how bad the internet can sometimes be. So one town in North Carolina decided: If we can't make fast internet come to us, we'll build it ourselves. And they did. Enter Big Internet.
This episode, we look at what happened when the City of Wilson decided to try and start its own internet provider, and how it started a fight that spread to dozens of states, a fight about whether cities should even be allowed to compete with big internet providers, and what the effect the outcome might have on working remotely.
If you're plugging the connection directly into a switch, then yeah, you're gonna have problems - although, I'd argue if you're connecting a switch directly to the internet, you have bigger issues than routing.
Over the past year, billions of people all over the world have relied heavily on internet connectivity to keep in touch with family and friends, learn online, work from home and get vital information about the coronavirus pandemic.
Yet over the course of 2020, 29 countries intentionally shut down or slowed their internet communications at least 155 times, according to a new report published by Access Now, a non-profit digital rights group.
Authorities in India shut down the internet 109 times over the course of 2020, mostly in Indian-administered Kashmir, which accounted for almost 90 percent of all internet shutdowns in India last year.
From January 2020 till February of this year, the internet in Indian-administered Kashmir was throttled to 2G, making life very difficult for many students in the state who had been moved to remote learning as a result of COVID-19.
