How big is the network they have to run on? Well, it’s not. Verizon has 5G available in several U.S. cities, and AT&T, which owns CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia, says it’s launched 5G in more than a dozen places. Industry analysts expect 5G to be available in 92 American cities by the end of the year. And as far as 5G readiness goes, a group that represents the American wireless industry says the U.S. and China are now tied for first place, and services are also available in several South Korean cities. But why are tech enthusiasts so excited about this? Why does it matter? According to the [a] cellular technology industry association, 5G is gonna be a major factor in the U.S. economy— changing education, robotics and medicine. CNN NARRATOR Self-driving cars, smart cities, fully-connected homes [and] robots—this is the future, and it’ll be powered by 5G. The G stands for generation as in next-generation wireless network, and it’s going to be fast—about 10 times faster than the 4G network on your phone right now. Today, it takes about six minutes to download a 3D movie in [with] 4G. With 5G, it’ll be 30 seconds, but 5G is about more than just superfast downloads and fewer dropped calls. [It’s] really about connecting the internet of things—all those sensors, thermostats, cars [and] robots. Right now, 4G just doesn’t have the bandwidth for all those devices, but 5G will. That’s why it’s a game changer. Imagine self-driving cars instantly communicating with traffic lights and other cars, or a surgeon with VR equipment and special gloves operating remotely on a patient thousands of miles away. 5G will make that possible, but when? 2020 is a working date for most of the wireless industry. Four nationwide carriers are already testing the technology. Chipmakers are building processors and radios for 5G communication, and network equipment companies are building the backbone. But the future won’t come cheap. 5G signals are powerful, but they don’t reach as far. Making it work will require thousands, maybe even millions, of mini cell phone towers, pretty much everywhere you can imagine: lampposts, the side of every building, maybe even in every room of your home. That’s why rolling out 5G to the entire United States could cost $300 billion. 《CNN十分鐘新聞》 卡爾．阿祖茲 摩托羅拉提供了一項修改，讓該公司的其中一款手機具有5G相容性，而三星也計畫在今年夏季推出一款新的5G手機。這些手機必須使用的網路涵蓋範圍有多大呢？這個嘛，不怎麼大。Verizon在美國幾座城市推出了5G網路，而擁有CNN母公司華納媒體的AT&T表示，他們已在超過十二個地方啟用5G了。 產業分析師預期在今年年底前，5G就會在美國九十二座城市上線。就5G的就緒程度而言，一個代表美國無線通訊產業的團體指出，美國與中國目前並列第一，南韓有幾座城市也已有5G服務。 不過，為什麼科技狂人對這件事這麼興奮呢？這件事為什麼重要？根據一個行動通訊技術產業協會的說法，5G將會是美國經濟中一項重要的因子──為教育、機器人技術與醫學帶來改變。 CNN旁白 自動駕駛汽車、智慧城市、全面連線的住宅以及機器人──這就是未來，而這都將由5G驅動。G指的是次世代無線網路中的「世代」，而且5G的速度將會非常快──比你的手機目前使用的4G網路快上約十倍。 現今用4G網路下載一部3D電影需要六分鐘左右的時間。有了5G，將會是三十秒，不過5G的重點不只在於超快的下載速度與減少電話斷訊。5G真正的重點在於連接物聯網──那所有的感應器、恆溫器、汽車以及機器人。目前的4G頻寬不夠供那所有裝置使用，但5G會夠。那就是為什麼這是一項改變遊戲規則的技術。 想像自動駕駛車輛能即時與交通號誌和其他車輛溝通，或是外科醫師利用虛擬實境設備及特殊手套對人在數千英里以外的病患進行遠距手術。5G將可使那得以實現，但什麼時候呢？ 二○二○年是多數無線通訊業者暫定的時間。四家全國性的電信業者已在測試這項科技。晶片製造商正在打造用於5G通訊的處理器與無線電設備，而網路設備公司則是在建設骨幹。 不過，這個未來可不便宜。5G訊號很強，但傳播距離沒那麼遠。要讓5G運作將會需要數以千計，或許甚至數以百萬計的迷你手機基地台，幾乎遍布於你想像得到的所有地方：路燈、每一棟建築的側牆，甚至可能是你家裡的每個房間。這就是為什麼在全美推出5G的成本可能要三千億美元。

Book Synopsis The Origins and Development of Financial Markets and Institutions by : Jeremy Atack
Download or read book The Origins and Development of Financial Markets and Institutions written by Jeremy Atack and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collectively, mankind has never had it so good despite periodic economic crises of which the current sub-prime crisis is merely the latest example. Much of this success is attributable to the increasing efficiency of the world's financial institutions as finance has proved to be one of the most important causal factors in economic performance. In a series of insightful essays, financial and economic historians examine how financial innovations from the seventeenth century to the present have continually challenged established institutional arrangements, forcing change and adaptation by governments, financial intermediaries, and financial markets. Where these have been successful, wealth creation and growth have followed. When they failed, growth slowed and sometimes economic decline has followed. These essays illustrate the difficulties of co-ordinating financial innovations in order to sustain their benefits for the wider economy, a theme that will be of interest to policy makers as well as economic historians.
Book Synopsis "Every Day I Live in Fear" by : Neela Ghoshal
Download or read book "Every Day I Live in Fear" written by Neela Ghoshal and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report documents violence and discrimination against LGBT people in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras--collectively known as the Northern Triangle of Central America--and, in some cases, along the migration routes they take to seek asylum.... Given the high levels of violence and discrimination that many LGBT people face in the Northern Triangle, the US government should be rigorously protecting LGBT asylum seekers' ability to safely cross the border into the United States and apply for asylum. Instead, the Trump administration has implemented a seemingly unending series of obstacles, blocking LGBT people's path to safety at every turn."--Pages 2-3.
Download or read book Iran written by Anthony H. Cordesman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes four key aspects of US and Iranian strategic competition--sanctions, energy, arms control, and regime change. Its primary focus is on the ways in which the sanctions applied to Iran have changed US and Iranian competition since the fall of 2011. This escalation has been spurred by the creation of a series of far stronger US unilateral sanctions and the European Union’s imposition of equally strong sanctions, both of which affect Iran’s ability to export, its financial system, and its overall economy.

It looks at key themes such as the challenges to regional integration, India’s "Look East" and Thailand’s "Look West" policies, transport connectivity and tourism within the BIMSTEC and the aspirations of various member countries. It also examines BIMSTEC’s approach towards climate change, disaster management and rehabilitation. A timely contribution, this volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of international relations, South Asian studies, foreign policy, diplomacy, Southeast Asian studies, defence and strategic affairs, maritime studies, international trade, regional cooperation and political studies.
Book Synopsis Discourse, Politics and Media in Contemporary China by : Qing Cao
Download or read book Discourse, Politics and Media in Contemporary China written by Qing Cao and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three and a half decades of economic reforms, radical changes have occurred in all aspects of life in China. In an authoritarian society, these changes are mediated significantly through the power of language, carefully controlled by the political elites. Discourse, as a way of speaking and doing things, has become an indispensable instrument for the authority to manage a fluid, increasingly fragmented, but highly dynamic and yet fragile society. Written by an international team of leading scholars, this volume examines socio-political transformations of contemporary Chinese society through a systematic account, analysis and assessment of its salient discourses and their production, circulation, negotiation, and consequences. In particular, the volume focuses on the interplay of politics and media. The book’s intended readership is academics and students of Chinese studies, language and discourse, and media and communication studies.

Book Synopsis Gun Control Legislation by : William J. Krouse
Download or read book Gun Control Legislation written by William J. Krouse and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress has continued to debate the efficacy and constitutionality of federal regulation of firearms and ammunition, with strong advocates arguing for and against greater gun control. While several dozen gun control-related proposals have been introduced in recent Congresses, only a handful of those bills received significant legislative action. The 109th Congress, for example, passed two bills with firearmsrelated provisions that were enacted into law. P.L. 109-72 prohibits certain types of lawsuits against firearm manufacturers and dealers to recover damages related to the criminal or unlawful use of their products by other persons, and P.L. 109-295 includes a provision that prohibits federal officials from seizing any firearm from private persons during a major disaster or emergency, if possession of that firearm was not already prohibited under federal or state law. Nevertheless, the 110th Congress could possibly reconsider several gun control proposals that were considered as part of appropriations and crime legislation in the previous Congress. During the 109th Congress, the House amended the Children's Safety Act of 2005 (H.R. 3132) to prohibit the transfer or possession of a firearm to or by any person convicted of a sex offense against a minor. The House also amended Secure Access to Justice and Court Protection Act of 2005 (H.R. 1751) to authorize certain federal court judges and officials to carry firearms for personal protection. The Senate passed a different version of H.R. 1751 that included similar provisions, as well as provisions designed to clarify and expand the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (P.L. 108-277) -- a law that gives concealed carry privileges to qualified on-duty and retired law enforcement officers. None of those provisions were enacted into law, however. In addition, the House Judiciary considered four gun-related bills: the ATFE Modernization and Reform Act of 2006 (H.R. 5092), the Firearms Corrections and Improvement Act (H.R. 5005), the Firearm Commerce Modernization Act (H.R. 1384), and the NICS Improvement Act of 2005 (H.R. 1415). H.R. 5092 was passed by the House. The 109th Congress, moreover, maintained a fee prohibition for Brady background checks and other funding limitations and conditions related to gun enforcement in the FY2006 DOJ appropriations (P.L. 109-108). Those limitations and conditions have been continued into FY2007 under continuing resolutions. They are often referred to as the "Tiahrt amendment," for their sponsor in the FY2004 appropriations cycle, Representative Todd Tiahrt. Issues addressed in those bills, as well as the Tiahrt funding limitations and conditions, could be reconsidered in the 110th Congress. Senator Charles Schumer, for example, has introduced a bill (S. 77) that would repeal portions of the Tiahrt amendment that limit the sharing of firearm trace data. Other gun control-related issues that may reemerge in the 110th Congress include (1) retaining Brady background check records for approved transactions to enhance terrorist screening, (2) more strictly regulating certain long-range fifty caliber rifles, (3) further regulating certain firearms previously defined in statute as "assault weapons," and (4) requiring background checks for firearm transfers at gun shows. This report will updated to reflect legislative action.
Book Synopsis The Truth about Crime by : Jean Comaroff
Download or read book The Truth about Crime written by Jean Comaroff and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book by the well-known anthropologists Jean and John L. Comaroff explores the global preoccupation with criminality in the early twenty-first century, a preoccupation strikingly disproportionate, in most places and for most people, to the risks posed by lawlessness to the conduct of everyday life. Ours in an epoch in which law-making, law-breaking, and law-enforcement are ever more critical registers in which societies construct, contest, and confront truths about themselves, an epoch in which criminology, broadly defined, has displaced sociology as the privileged means by which the social world knows itself. They also argue that as the result of a tectonic shift in the triangulation of capital, the state, and governance, the meanings attached to crime and, with it, the nature of policing, have undergone significant change; also, that there has been a palpable muddying of the lines between legality and illegality, between corruption and conventional business; even between crime-and-policing, which exist, nowadays, in ever greater, hyphenated complicity. Thinking through Crime and Policing is, therefore, an excursion into the contemporary Order of Things; or, rather, into the metaphysic of disorder that saturates the late modern world, indeed, has become its leitmotif. It is also a meditation on sovereignty and citizenship, on civility, class, and race, on the law and its transgression, on the political economy of representation.

Book Synopsis The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor of the Belt and Road Initiative by : Siegfried O. Wolf
Download or read book The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor of the Belt and Road Initiative written by Siegfried O. Wolf and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the implementation of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure development project intended to connect Asia with Europe, the Middle East and Africa. By introducing a new analytical approach to the study of economic corridors, it gauges the anticipated economic and geopolitical impacts on the region and discusses whether the CPEC will serve as a pioneer project for future regional cooperation between and integration of sub-national regions such as Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, and Gilgit-Baltistan. Further, it explores the interests, expectations and policy approaches of both Chinese and Pakistani local and central governments with regard to the CPEC’s implementation. Given its scope, the book will appeal to regional and spatial sciences scholars, as well as social scientists interested in the regional impacts of economic corridors. It also offers valuable information for policymakers in countries participating in the Belt-and-Road Initiative or other Chinese-supported development projects.
