The Future of Broadband

Broadband has brought the internet and its users a very long way in recent years. Not only has it helped bridge the divide between people in different countries for both business and pleasure, it has helped others to achieve freedom from oppression.

With the rise of superfast broadband gaining traction rapidly, the world is only set to become an even smaller place in years to come. This is illustrated perfectly by the quiet revolution which is taking place in Tanzania; the country has built a fibre optic network in a circular pattern around the country, so that it will soon be possible for even remote villages to get superfast broadband.

Whilst the take-up of the service hasn’t yet really kicked in, it’s thought that it will eventually as villagers already use mobile broadband to carry out tasks such as checking prices before taking their farm produce to market.

Tanzania eventually hopes to rival neighbours Kenya, who have built a smaller network but are already considered the network hub of East Africa.

Of course, not everyone in the country will have the means to connect, but the Tanzanian government are hoping that those who show entrepreneurial spirit when adopting the technology will help to boost the country’s economy and allow them to pay off their debt to China, who lent Tanzania the money to build the network, and then allow even those on very poor incomes to connect.

Socially important

The Broadband Commission believes that having a broadband connection is an essential part of modern society and that a new internet economy is taking place which will revolutionise the worldwide economy by 2020.

Whilst it may seem idealist to think that even tribes in the Amazon Rainforest could benefit from broadband, the Tanzanian efforts outlined above suggest otherwise. The sheer speed of superfast broadband means that people across the world can share information instantly, can watch movies and TV shows on live streaming and can video–phone friends and family around the world with ease.

Of course, whilst this paints an almost utopian picture of the connected world of the future, there will be downsides as well.

The internet is empowering to common people and so this means that governments are more likely to engage in some form of censorship, whichever country you live in. In the EU and the US (for the most part) this is illustrated in the drive to stop illegal downloads and new laws that allow authorities to snoop on its citizens.

Another downside is the rise in malware, a business which is already worth more than the global illegal drugs trade. This affects normal citizens and governments alike, people find themselves out of pocket after being infected with a trojan that empties their bank account, whilst governments practice cyber-espionage.

So, what’s the future of broadband? A faster, more connected world which allows unprecedented levels of speed so that entertainment and family is easily accessible to all, marred slightly by cybercrooks and governments, but for the most part, empowering people the world over.

Business owners be aware of resurfacing scam callers

Business owners be aware of resurfacing scam callers

Be aware of a man claiming to be a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) or associated with, who is working on an anti-social behaviour campaign and selling advertising space in a good citizenship magazine. This magazine simply does not exist. We cannot name the company responsible for legal reasons. There are legitimate clubs that do actually exist throughout the UK and work hard to prevent anti-social behavioural issues.

The caller may also claim to work for or be associated with Police Community Clubs of Great Britain, which is a legitimate community initiative fundraising organisation.

These scammers constantly change their tactics and can be very convincing – don’t give them a penny! If in any doubt, contact Action Fraud : To report a fraud, call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or use their online fraud reporting tool.

Hard Disk Shortage

Unfortunately, there continues to be a huge hard disk stock deficit throughout the globe. Thailand has been devastated by the worst floods in more than half a century. The country is a major producer of computer hard drives that has been making about 45% of the world’s supply. But production and the supply chain have been badly disrupted, and with fewer hard drives being produced, prices are going up. By the late part of 2012, production of hard drives should be back to normal. Our suppliers have yet to receive a due date for HDD replenishment and any disks available are very overpriced and hard to obtain.

Therefore, we advise our customers to hold off where necessary. But unfortunately, situations will arise where the dependency outweighs the cost of data loss and replacements must be sought. If this is the case then we will endeavour to supply any available stock throughout the UK as soon as possible. Please note that prices have hiked considerably of the past few weeks, and in some cases almost 700%.

Leased Line Prices Reduced

Endrick IT has reduced its leased line prices dramatically over the past few months. This price decrease is essentially due to more of Endrick IT’s suppliers all bidding for the line install work. This allows businesses to take advantage of big line bandwidth opportunities at low prices.

The standard leased line setup charge for most 3 to 5 year contracts is still £0. However, excess construction charges may still apply. About 1 in 5 leased line orders attract excess construction work. Sometimes this price can be amortised in the monthly fees. The line carriers do absorb some of the excess charges.

Leased line pricing will continue to fall so long as more line carriers become involved in the bidding process. There are a growing number of new suppliers yet to get involved in Endrick IT’s bidding system, but as leased lines continue to be ordered from Endrick IT more suppliers will be introduced to the system over the next few months.

Business owners can get a no-obligation online leased line or EFM quotation today by visiting Endrick IT’s leased line costs page: http://www.endrickit.com/leased-line.aspx
