13. Global View

15. Evolution of Internet Access
 If internet is owned by “no one” and it is a global
network, why can’t we access it free just by
connecting a cable?
 The reason is ISPs?
 ISP stand for Internet Service Provider
 Why need an ISP to connect to the internet?
 ISPs invest and create necessary infrastructures and
facilities to connect with other countries. These
investments are HUGE.

16. Evolution of Internet Access
 ISPs need to lay cables underneath the ocean and hire
satellites
 So they charge from users to recover investments
and earn profit. It is telecommunication business!
 Furthermore ISPs protects the internet and
implement rules on users.
 ISPs plays major part in internet security

17. Evolution of Internet Access
 There are
telecommu
nication
cables runs
beneath
oceans.

18.  Dial-Up
Connection:
Connect over
regular telephone
voice line. Dial-up
providers throw
the term ’56k’
around a lot. In
reality, you can
expect 33 kbps on
average.
Internet Access Methods

19.  Cable / Leased Lines: Used cable TV lines and special
telephone lines. Speed between 10Mbps to 250Mbps.
Internet Access Methods

20.  DSL / Broadband
Internet: DSL is an
initialization of Digital
Subscriber Line. The
phone companies
developed a way to send
a second signal down the
phone lines, and they did
this by sending it at a
higher frequency. It’s a
pretty complex method.
Internet Access Methods

21.  The technologies that
we’ve talked about so far
use electricity and copper
wires to transmit the
signal. Then along comes
fiber optics. In it’s
simplest terms, the signal
is light and the medium is
a special type of flexible
glass or clear plastic
cable. This internet is so
fast up to 1 Gbps.
Internet Access Methods
Fiber Optic Internet

22.  Wireless Broadband / WiMAX: The
ISP will connect to the Internet
through a cabled connection and
then broadcast that connection
using radio waves. You, as the
customer, would have some sort of
antenna and modem set up that
would let you communicate with
the ISP. Maximum speed 1.5 Mbps
Internet Access Methods

23.  Mobile Internet (GPRS / 3G / 4G): This
is how you get the Internet on your
phone, USB stick, or PC cards that go
in your computer. Service providers
typically refer to it as Mobile Wireless
Broadband, even though the term
broadband isn’t technically being used
correctly. Speed with LTE service, up
to 150 Mbps, but more like 75 Mbps.
Internet Access Methods

24.  Satellite Internet: As the name
suggests, this is a way to get
Internet access via a satellite dish.
Each transmission takes about a
45,000 mile trip between you, the
satellite, and the ISP. Signal
traveling that far will get pretty
weak, and the result is slow
internet. Maximum speed is about
10 Mbps.
Internet Access Methods
