JNIP could become explosive!
With the increase in cell phone usage and demand, more towers
area inevitable.
According to the head of the United Nations International Telecommunications
Union, the number of mobile cellular subscribers worldwide will reach the 4 billion mark by the end of
this year!

BROADNETS 2009 is an
international conference focusing on broadband communications, networks, and systems and covers the
entire gamut of next generation networks, communications systems, applications and services. The
conference will consist of three technical tracks:
WIRELESS TRACK covers mobility, routing for
multihop, architecture and topology design, hybrid networks, multimedia QoS and traffic management,
cross-layer optimization, MIMO, MAC and emerging physical layer technologies for high-speed wireless
networking .
OPTICAL TRACK covers WDM technologies, Ethernet and MPLS integration into the
optical layer, next-Generation SONET/SDH, optical and WDM communications systems, cross-layer design, SAN
extensions, optical grids, and Techno-economic aspects of optical networks.
INTERNET TRACK
covers theory and practice of Internet technologies spanning a broad range of topics including, but not
limited to: routing, scheduling, congestion control, traffic engineering, network modeling, network
measurement, network management, network QoS, network security , overlay networks, peer-to-peer networks,
content distribution networks, web technologies, media technologies (VoIP, IPTV, video streaming),
location-based services, "Clean-slate" Internet architectures, algorithms, protocols, and services.

Stimulus package winners: broadband arms
dealers
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- A few days ago we jokingly opined that arguing about the
deployment of high-speed data networks was a bit like fighting about world peace: Who could ever quibble
with it?
Turns out there's much to fight about, especially if the government decides to dole
out money for building broadband networks as part of the president-elect's economic stimulus package.
Should tax credits go to the big telecommunications companies and cable operators who already supply
most residential customers with broadband connections? Or should the policy favor new entrants who will
provide competition to the incumbent phone and cable guys?
Should a federal agency administer
the policy and dole out the stimulus, or should those decisions rest with states and local communities?
"The federal government can create uniform standards on quality of service," says business strategist
Craig Settles, who thinks local communities should have a say in the kind of broadband technology they
deploy, and who gets to build it. "A lot of cities and counties planned out how this technology could be
put to work."
While the lobbyists, community groups, lawmakers and regulators work all this
out, telecommunications equipment suppliers can sit back and wait for the orders to start pouring in.
Because no matter who ends up building the broadband infrastructure - incumbents or competitors, cities
or corporations - they'll need to buy some pretty heavy-duty equipment to make these networks work.
"Cisco, Motorola, Juniper (JNPR), Alcatel Lucent (ALU), they're all going to benefit," says Roger
Entner, head of telecom research for Nielsen. (The stimulus package may come too late for Canadian
equipment maker Nortel, which filed for bankruptcy protection from creditors Wednesday.)
Many
of the biggest equipment makers, who sometimes are referred to as the "arms dealers" of the telecom
industry because they happily supply warring service providers, also have also have construction units
that actually build networks, digging the trenches and laying the fiber needed for high-speed
networks.
And these networks will call for more fiberoptic cable, even if some providers
decide to use wireless systems or to upgrade existing coaxial cable or copper telephone lines. The data
traveling to and from the so-called broadband "last mile" still needs to travel over robust fiber
backbones to get to content that resides in servers all over the world. "You will definitely have to
create a more fiber-rich environment," notes Jeff Campbell, director of technology and
communications policy for Cisco (CSCO, Fortune 500).
That's good news for optical fiber
maker Corning (GLW, Fortune 500). It is also good news for the companies that operate the fiber
backbones. And while it is too soon to know if phone companies AT&T (T, Fortune 500), Verizon (V) and
Qwest will qualify for tax credits for building broadband networks, those companies also happen to be
operators of the nation's big Internet backbones. Even if they aren't direct recipients of any government
relief, any policy that boosts the amount of data people use means they will benefit.
Ultimately, though, the biggest winners of widespread broadband deployment will be consumers, says
Cisco's Campbell. "We're going to work toward giving people broadband who don't have it, and bring
world-class speeds to this country, and make it universally available," he says. "I think the reason that
this idea is getting so much traction is because it is good for the country and good for the public."
