Internet

The Internet is one of the powerful communication medium to share and to exchange ideas and information through the use of computers and other infrastructure such as routers and servers. The integration of different technologies has resulted in the convergence of textual data, graphics, video, and voice for transmission. The power of the Internet has been restricted by the speed of the Internet and the availability of the infrastructure. The infrastructure is the local Internet service provider. Conventional Internet transmits data through modem and the telephone.

The speed is constrained by the availability of free space in the telephone lines and is very often less than 256 kbps. This meant that uploading and downloading of information took minutes and sometimes hours. The availability of new technologies has enabled high speed Internet access with a minimum of 256 kbps and sometimes more than 1.5 Mbps. Broadband, as the collection of technologies is called, achieves this through the use of Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), cable, wireless, ISDN, and satellite.
