Telecom

Oftenly, in telecom business the term "provisioning" is mentioned. Exactly, what does it refer to?

In basic terms it means to set up an account, or to set up a feature on an account. For example, if your voicemail isn’t working, your provider would first check to see if it was "provisioned" correctly. What they are saying is that they are checking to see if it were set up properly, and if the feature was added correctly. Just a term that has been used forever in the business, and will be used until something better comes along.

to another telephone service provider as bt has gotten very expensive, any ideas which ones to try? uk only thanx. i have bt phoneline and broadband

well, we tried this, and went back to BT as soon as we could.

yes, BT is expensive, but, you get what you pay for. brother had talk talk… sister had sky… and they both had lots of problems… and by the time sky or talk talk were anywhere near the (NON) limits imposed by BT, the cost was to a few pennies, the same.

i lost my connection at 10am saturday, i phone the engineer and someone was out by 2pm..on a saturday.

yes everyone does it cheaper, btu NO ONE =offers their level of cover, or download quota at the same price…

Can someone please explain this — i’m having problems understanding it.

If a system I am looking at is alarming with AIS, is it broke or is it receiving that from a remote part of the system?

Thanks

In the telephone system if there is a break in a cable or other service affecting problem, the two devices that are at the ends of the connection will send out an AIS signal to indicate to devices farther down stream in both directions that there is a problem with the link.
The two end points of the circuit when they receive the AIS signal, will send out a RDI or Remote Defect Indication on their transmit. This will continue until the defect is fixed.
When the circuit is working then there is framing information that is sent to indicate that the connection is good. When the connection is repaired the framing is sent, and the AIS and RDI signals will be stopped and the framing will be then sent again.

Must read more at link.Members of President Vicente Fox’s National Action Party (PAN) have joined the chorus of self-righteous criticism. They applauded an early January 2006 joint declaration by Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and six Central American countries pledging their opposition to treating migrants who illegally cross into the United States as law-breakers.

This statement neglected to recognize the mounting support of American citizens for curbs on unlawful entries. A Fox News poll conducted in April 2005 found that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe that undocumented immigration is a “very serious” (63 percent) or “somewhat serious” (28 percent) problem for the United States. Sixty percent of respondents to an ABC News/Washington Post survey favored erecting a barrier at the border; only 26 percent disapproved. In addition, Mexico’s nomenklatura never mentions the 1 million legal immigrants whom the United States admits each year.

Mexico’s establishment also keeps quiet about the salaries and benefits that its members receive. Private-sector executives are especially secretive. Thanks to Forbes magazine, however, we know that Mexico leads Latin America with ten billionaires, including telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helú, the world’s third richest person with $30 billion. And an increasing amount of data is available on the earnings of public officials. The numbers show that Mexico’s governing class is enriching itself at the country’s expense, with exorbitant salaries and bountiful perks. Remember, these are “official” figures. Most politicians have ingenious ways of fattening their bank accounts.

The salaries of top Mexican government officials match or exceed those of comparable figures in Europe and much of the rest of the world. President Vicente Fox ($236,693), for example, makes more than the leaders of the U.K. ($211,434), France ($95,658), Canada ($75,582), and most other industrialized countries (POTUS earns $400,000).

The 500 members of Mexico’s notoriously irresponsible Chamber of Deputies, which is in session only a few months a year, each made $148,000 last year in salary and bonuses—roughly on a par with Italian and Canadian legislators and substantially more than their counterparts in Germany ($105,000), France ($78,000), and Spain ($32,311), where living costs are markedly higher. Other legislators in Latin America receive substantially less; for example, those in Bolivia earn $28,000 for a four-month session. Legislators in the Dominican Republic take home $68,500 for six months of service.

The salaries are only the beginning. Party leaders in the Chamber of Deputies have a trove of discretionary funds to assist themselves and their colleagues. In 2004, the amount distributed to the three major parties was $15,892,668 to PRI, which had 223 deputies; $10,297,611 to PAN and its 153 deputies; and $7,359,122 to the 97 deputies of the PRD.

Mexican deputies enjoy their junkets, frequently taking to the air or the road and asking the country’s taxpayers to foot the bill. During 2005, the Chamber of Deputies spent $1,018,518.50 on domestic and foreign travel. These outlays amounted to $2,095.24 for each of the 500 deputies or $2,927.78 for the 348 deputies who, on average, actually showed up for legislative sessions. This spending on travel is dubious for two reasons: deputies, who cannot run for immediate re-election, do not have to return to their districts every weekend like so many U.S. congressmen; and the Mexican Senate—not the Chamber of Deputies—plays the primary legislative role in international affairs.

But Mexico’s lower chamber believes in rewarding itself for its spendthrift ways. At the end of its three-year term (2000-2003), the last Chamber of Deputies voted itself a $28,000 “leaving-office bonus.”

Even better work, if you can get it, is to be found in the judicial branch of the Mexican federal government. In 2005, the 11 justices on the National Supreme Court of Justice—equivalent to the U.S. Supreme Court—received $311,759, compared to $194,200 for their American counterparts. (The U.S. Chief Justice earns $202,900.)

State-level Mexican officials are amply rewarded as well. Salaries and bonuses place the average compensation of Mexican governors at $125,759, which exceeds by almost $10,000 the mean paychecks of U.S. state executives ($115,778). Narciso Agúndez Montaño runs Baja California Sur. Although his state has only 424,041 residents, he earns $277,777. This is $100,000 more than the salary of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who governs 36,132,147 Californians.

Mexico’s government cares about the rich people (them). They DEMAND that their poor be taken care of by others. Calderon complains that we aren’t taking care of HIS people and says he must work harder for the "rights of Mexicans in the US."

Things are so screwed up. Mexico must take care of their own so we can take care of Americans. I am so sick of the DEMANDS from 20 to 30 million illegal alien criminals that have broken our laws. THIS IS WRONG!

Hey, El Presidente, Mexico DOES STOP at the border between Mexico and America!

just like the states did early in the last century buying up all the private roads to establish the highway systems we have now. Also it would make sense from a standards interoperability point of view as well.

Yes, the sector would greatly benefit from government ownership.

My brother is planning to relocate in Saudi Arabia so i want to have a knowledge if there are any special plans by Mobily or any other telecom company in Saudi Arabia?

I know that MOBILY has a special offer for visitors called "RIHAL".
This special SIM:
- costs 50 SR as fees setup with credit of 50 SR.
- for internal calls 0.95 SR per min.
- valid during 120 days. and cannot be extended.

i hope that i got your question.

If i were to launch retail cards that allow the customer to activate my services such as those that follow the same activation procedures as that of Hutch or Airtel (my services arent into telecom i.e. i’m not a mobile services provider), how do i protect my product from getting duplicated by spurious persons.
I want to launch retail cards similar to the pattern that are used by Mobile services providers, but mine is not a telecom service. I dont want any spurious individual duplicating my cards (i am patenting my service) and i want my customers to be aware such that they get the authentic retail cards of my service from licensed dealers and not get cheated. How do i protect my customers ?
e.g. if im a spurious person and i create a card say exactly the same as ‘X’ recharge card by Hutch and sell it to a small shop for further sale and the end user buys the card and uses the registration number, and finds out that such a number is invalid.

How do i stop such an activity from taking place and how do i ensure that my customer is aware of whats authentic and not?

i dont know really………….
But hope u get one answer good luck…………
