High Local Half Circuit Cost
Impacts:
High cost of internet to end user

Local providers are pushing circuits towards other country (s)
Payment through foreign currency
Solutions
Reduce local half circuit cost significantly – increased capacity
consumption will increase BSCCL revenue
Zero tax/Tax holiday on import of related hardware/goods
NTTN operators should provide capacity and increase coverage
NTTN Operations
Impacts:
Lack of competition, capacity & coverage leading to high cost of service to end user
Existing unutilized NTTN resources lead to increase in per capacity cost to service

15. The Technologies - 2013
1. Internet Browser
2. Search Engines
3. E-mail
4. Social Network
17. The Technologies
02. Search Engines of 2013
Most people don't want 290 search engines, especially people who are internet beginners.
Most users want a single search engine that delivers three key features:
01. Relevant results (results you are actually interested in)
02. Uncluttered, easy to read interface
03. Helpful options to broaden or tighten a search
With this criteria, 5 Reader Favorite Search Engines come to mind. These 5 search sites should
meet 98% of the searching needs of a regular everyday user.
18. The Technologies
Search Engines of 2013
Google is the undisputed king of 'spartan searching'. Google is fast, relevant,
and the largest single catalogue of Web pages available today. Make sure you
try the Google 'images', 'maps' and 'news' features... they are outstanding
services for locating photos, geographic directions, and news headlines.
19. The Technologies
Search Engines of 2013
Yahoo! is several things: it is a search engine, a news aggregator, a shopping
center, an emailbox, a travel directory, a horoscope and games center, and
more. This 'web portal' breadth of choice makes this a very helpful site for
Internet beginners. Searching the Web should also be about discovery and
exploration, and Yahoo! delivers that in wholesale quantities.
20. The Technologies
Web Tools of 2013
Bing is Microsoft's attempt at unseating Google. Bing used to be MSN
search until it was updated in summer of 2009. Touted as a 'decision
engine', Bing tries to support your researching by offering suggestions
in the leftmost column, while also giving you various search options
across the top of the screen. Things like 'wiki' suggestions, 'visual
search', and 'related searches' might be very useful to you. Bing is not
dethroning Google in the near future, no. But Bing is definitely worth
trying.
Bing
21. The Technologies
Search Engines of 2013
The Ask/AJ/Ask Jeeves search engine is a longtime name in the World
Wide Web. The super-clean interface rivals the other major search
engines, and the search options are as good as Google or Bing or
DuckDuckGo. The results groupings are what really make Ask.com
stand out. The presentation is arguably cleaner and easier to read
than Google or Yahoo! or Bing, and the results groups seem to be
more relevant. Decide for yourself if you agree... give Ask.com a whirl,
and compare it to the other search engines you like.
Ask (aka 'Ask Jeeves')
