In A Village Goes Mobile, Sirpa Tenhunen examines how the mobile telephone has contributed to social change in rural India. Tenhunen's long-term ethnographic fieldwork in West Bengal began before the village had a phone system in place and continued through the introduction and proliferation of the smartphone. She here analyzes how mobile telephones emerged as multidimensional objects which, in addition to enabling telephone conversations, facilitated status aspirations, internet access, and entertainment practices. She explores how this multifaceted use of mobile phones has affected agency and power dynamics in economic, political, and social relationships, and how these new social constellations relate to culture and development. In eight chapters, Tenhunen asks such questions as: Who benefits from mobile telephony and how? Can people use mobile phones to change their lives, or does phone use merely amplify existing social patterns and power relationships? Can mobile telephony induce development? Going beyond the case of West Bengal, Tenhunen develops a framework to understand how new media mediates social processes within interrelated social spheres and local hierarchies by relating, media-saturated forms of interaction to pre-existing contexts.

The story of the telephone in Texas. In early 1878, there were two working telephones in Texas. It recalls the days when young boys were the first telephone operators and when horses and mules hauled poles to set up the first lines. The days of "Hello Central" and "whoop and holler" transmission over open iron wires. This book records the individual stories of Texas telephone companies and the experiences of their people. Each company's history is told in its own words by its own employees.

Excerpt from The Thermionic Valve and Its Developments in Radio-Telegraphy and TelephonyThe present extensive use of appliances in modem radiotelegraphy and radiotelephony based on the thermionic emission from an incandescent cathode in a vacuous bulb, of which the Fleming oscillation valve was the first representative, has given rise to much published information on the subject in technical journals as well as to numerous patent specifications. Since most of the recent great advances in wireless telegraphy and telephony are dependent on the employment of these inventions it seemed desirable to collect together in a single volume some of this literature for the assistance of radio-engineers. The author, therefore, accepted the invitation of The Wireless Press, Limited, to write a small book on the practical side of the subject.It has not been deemed necessary to enter very fully into the purely scientific researches on thermionic emission from incandescent substances, because it has already been treated very fully by Prof. O. W. Richardson in his excellent monograph, The Emission of Electricity from Hot Bodies (Long-mans, Green & Co., London).The introductory chapter of the present volume, nevertheless, provides a brief sketch of the researches which led up to the practical applications described in subsequent chapters. The author has, however, felt it necessary to explain in rather full detail the history of this practical application by himself and others, and of the patent litigation which has taken place in the United States and in Great Britain in connection with it, on account of the efforts which have been made to depreciate the Author's work on this subject. The legal judgments in these actions are printed as an appendix, and will enable the reader to view the questions of priority of invention from the standpoint of unbiassed and competent judges.One other matter calls for remark, and that is the question of nomenclature.

Translates technical jargon into practical business communications solutions This book takes readers from traditional voice, fax, video, and data services delivered via separate platforms to a single, unified platform delivering all of these services seamlessly via the Internet. With its clear, jargon-free explanations, the author enables all readers to better understand and assess the growing number of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) and unified communications (UC) products and services that are available for businesses. VoIP and Unified Communications is based on the author's careful review and synthesis of more than 7,000 pages of published standards as well as a broad range of datasheets, websites, white papers, and webinars. It begins with an introduction to IP technology and then covers such topics as: Packet transmission and switching VoIP signaling and call processing How VoIP and UC are defining the future Interconnections with global services Network management for VoIP and UC This book features a complete chapter dedicated to cost analyses and payback calculations, enabling readers to accurately determine the short- and long-term financial impact of migrating to various VoIP and UC products and services. There's also a chapter detailing major IP systems hardware and software. Throughout the book, diagrams illustrate how various VoIP and UC components and systems work. In addition, the author highlights potential problems and threats to UC services, steering readers away from common pitfalls. Concise and to the point, this text enables readers―from novices to experienced engineers and technical managers―to understand how VoIP and UC really work so that everyone can confidently deal with network engineers, data center gurus, and top management.

From the tale of a fiery nineteenth-century male suffragette to the forgotten founder of long-distance telephony, local author Laura Bien reveals the bizarre, baffling and oft-overlooked tales of Ypsilanti history. Scratch your head as Eastern Michigan University honors the area's onetime Potawatomi residents and its teacher school acculturates native children to white ways. Consider the earth closet, "? an indoor, nonflushing, composting toilet that's quite possibly the least popular invention in Michigan history. Witness a young artist's rise from Cleary Business College, which began as a penmanship school, to national fame or trade verse with Ypsilanti's unofficial nineteenth-century poet laureate, a poor farmer who became pen pals with John Greenleaf Whittier."

This brings together 14 basic disciplines of telecommunication transmission in one standard engineering reference manual. Emphasizes the delivery of signal from source to sink. Focuses on speech telephony, data/telegraph, facsimile and video. Analyzes essential concepts and techniques for point-to-point signal transmission. Offers a wealth of theoretical and on-the-job techniques for transmission problem solving, and stresses practical approach to design. Covers both North American and European practice and references CCITT/CCIR, EIA, FCC and ANSI standards and recommendations. Numerous tables, nomograms and curves are included.

This is the first biography of the brilliant inventor and practical experimenter, British-born David Edward Hughes. A contemporary of Edison and Bell, Hughes made major contributions in the fields of telegraphy, telephony, metal detection, and audiology. His printing telegraph, adopted across much of Europe, made him a fortune. Hughes sent and received wireless signals in 1879, some sixteen years before Marconi, but faced with the skepticism of his peers, he discontinued his research and his accomplishments were only recognized years later.
