Copper Communications Network and significant plans to deploy new fiber infrastructure how will the new Fiber Networks handle natural disasters like hurricanes . We know that the copper continue to operate but what happens now with the new Fiber Networks and you know dealing with that issue . How are you going to deal with them . There is unfortunately no Ip Technology congressman that allows you to power the line. You cannot put power over a fiber connection. Fiber has many other advantages in addition to its internet capacity and one of them i think is relevant in a hurricane or a flood zone or a sandy type situation is that seawater will destroy copper and make it unrepairable. Fiber is very resilient in that type of situation frank desoer our wireless networks. We get them up and running quickly after these storms and i say that knock on wood because we are still in hurricane system. Again i think that we all agree that these community should not lose services they rely on simply b
Care and critical infrastructure. Soon it will be where your refrigerator is and things you wear in your car. Ouruse we have connected whole lives, the people who would do is home harm, that is where they come. For our children, as secrets, our infrastructure. It cuts across every responsibility that the fbi has. I was in indiana and someone was responding reminding me of the great vector change of the last century. It was the combination of the automobile, which introduced a new kind of crime to this country. Criminals can travel very quickly. It was important to have a National Resource to respond to that. I was reminded of it while they were talking to me about John Dillinger. I said in response, John Dillinger could not do 1000 robberies in the aim day in all 50 states in his pajamas halfway around the world. That is the challenge we now face. It is a internet, challenge that we are trying very hard to respond to and attract and retrain great people and given the technology they ne
Are not watching video or emailing, if you are not doing is more it effective and costefficient. We are talking about the old Voice Network. How do we move from the cost benefits of the Service Benefits by thinking about how things have to change . Another thing going on that we have not talked about. We talked about the supply side and how people provide it. In the wayhanges users arent using the network. Not the services but what people want. Place inte is taking europe. They have a set of universal Service Obligations that still includes phonebooks. A lot of us today say we cannot remember the last time we looked at a phone book. That information is obsolete. Online is more efficient. Another thing that is part of their universal Service Obligation as payphones. In the world of ubiquitous cell phones you cannot find a pay phone on most streetcorners anymore. They are not useful because of the way people are using the network. One of the pivotal questions is we used to think about vo
Its a pleasure to be here today to talk about the i. P. Transition. But before we do what i want to talk about is another transition thats been occurring and thats directly related, and thats the transition of our networks from copper to fiber. Of course its generally understood today Everybody Knows that fiber to the home is the best Broadband Network possible and one that many are striving to obtain. When verizon started to roll this out ten years ago it wasnt so obvious and we got a lot of questions about why we were doing this. Who needs 30 megabits per second . But Everybody Knows today that we need much more than that which is why were now up to 500 per second over the fiber and much more to come. So fiber is an important part of the i. P. Transition and a basis for the i. P. Transition. But the transition of voice from copper to fiber doesnt depend on i. P. And thats what i wanted to talk about for a few minutes. So fiber started in the Telephone Network many years ago. There ar
The german 10h year dropping to record 1. 12 and the road map begins with u. P. S. Failing to deliver and missing the estimate s and lowering fullyear guidance and merck and pfizer are beating expectations and both citing new drug offerings. And darton ceo Clarence Oden will be stepping down after more than ten years on the job at darden and still a fight over the board of directors. All right, meantime miss for u. P. S. And the Company Posted a a profit of 1. 21 for the daily rate and they also lowered their guidance wend will talk to the ceo curt kuhn and in terms of the packages, domestic daily up 7. 4, but the rates even though they are going up, people are finding ways to ship less and less. But they are spending a lot of money and that is one of the misses so is that what didnt happen in christmas time, and remember, all of the overtime costs, and dont let it happen again and the stock come canning in well behind the rest of the group.
