	Globalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Globalization is an umbrella term for a complex series of economic, social, technological, cultural and political changes seen as increasing interdependence, integration and interaction between people and companies in disparate locations.
		Some maintain that globalization is an imagined geography; that is, a political tool of ruling neo-liberalists, who are attempting to use certain images and discourses of world politics to justify their political agendas.
		A consequence of economic globalization is increasing relations among members of an industry in different parts of the world (globalization of an industry), with a corresponding erosion of national sovereignty in the economic sphere.

		Global Increase in Infrastructure for 1991-1996 and Forecast for 2001
		Telecommunications infrastructure is the means by which access is achieved, by which content is delivered, and the basis of a knowledge-based and learning society.
		Telecommunications infrastructure development continues to be highly capital intensive and it requires a fair degree of technical expertise.

	The MacBride Report: Its Value to a New Generation - Empire? - Global Policy Forum
		Global, or at least transnational, policy-making is not a recent phenomenon, although the degree of public participation in global policy forums arguably is on the rise.
		Of course, there are grounds for disagreement about how unified the voice of "civil society" is, given the inherent non-singularity that characterizes the history of the very idea of civil society, and given the broad range of issues that were brought to the WSIS under the banner of that idea (Calabrese, 2004b).
		Global Policy Forum distributes this material without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes.

	The Global Chicago Center \| About us \| Book Project Study
		The objective of the study is to stimulate discussion, begin to quantify the nature and extent of the city's global activities, identify areas for further research, and raise awareness of the city's global assets and the potential that exists to leverage those assets for the benefit of all citizens of the region.
		Economic Globalization and the City - At its core, globalization is an economic phenomenon, empowered by the scientific revolution in telecommunications and travel, which is eroding borders and making speed, innovation and complexity central components of economic development.
		Politics and Globalization - As the distinctions between domestic and foreign affairs are reduced and the connections between economies, institutions, issues and people multiply, the ability of government at city, state and national levels to set the rules of engagement and influence outcomes has changed significantly.

	95051: The National Information Infrastructure: The Federal Role
		Congressional policymakers are likely to consider telecommunications issues from several perspectives: federal technology programs and budget, the convergence of telecommunications and information technologies, standards, education and training, and defining personal privacy and pornography in the information age.
		Telecommunications regulatory reform was a key part of the policy debate in the 104th Congress.
		As telecommunications and information technologies converge, this may affect how the NII is developed and who develops it, particularly in the wake of several mergers and acquisitions of telecommunications and information technology companies in 1995-1996.

	Chapter 5: Modernizing Infrastructure
		Since infrastructure, by definition, implies facilities and equipment that are unlikely to be built or acquired in a 90-day timeframe, this section of the report will identify short-term actions, such as operational changes and signing of new cooperative agreements, that can facilitate the most rapid assistance to the Cuban people in a time of transition.
		All basic infrastructure, including transportation, energy, telecommunication, and water and sanitation facilities have suffered, and all such systems are antiquated, unreliable, and incapable of supporting the increased demands associated with an open, consumer-oriented, market-based economy.
		The Cuban energy sector and its infrastructure exhibit diverse characteristics ranging from a power generation infrastructure that is decreasing in capacity and reliability to an active oil and gas sector that has international private sector participation.

		The unraveling of the reputations of firms that were once the toast of Wall Street continues and the end is not in sight.
		But one thing is certain: already fragile prior to Enron, the legitimacy of global capitalism as the dominant system of production, distribution, and exchange will be eroded even further, even in the heartland of the system.
		So much investment took place in global telecommunications infrastructure that traffic carried over fiber- optic networks was reported to be only 2.5 per cent of capacity.

		According to the World Bank, $300 billion is required to upgrade the telecommunications infrastructure in developing and emerging economies over the next five years; fifty-five percent will come from the private sector.
		The GIIC notes that the telecommunications sector around the world is either in the midst of radical changes in structure or about to undergo significant change.
		While telecommunications infrastructure development can provide the springboard to economic advancement, the pace of progress is determined by a country's overall economic development and its national government's willingness and ability to manage the complicated process of change.

	Telecommunications Infrastructure Design Process (Continued)
		It is critical for the building owner to understand the local telecommunications market trends - who is building metro fiber networks close to the site, who has FCC frequency allocations, which companies have enough funding to sustain their growth plans, and which companies are likely to fail or to be purchased.
		In selecting a telecommunications consultant, it is critical that the building owner find out how involved they are in the regulatory arena, how much market intelligence they can access, and what relationships they have with locally available service providers.
		The telecommunications consultant performs the financial analysis related to telecommunications projects either as a standalone assignment or as part of the turnkey statement of work.

	Global Competition Review
		One of the specific practices that would infringe the rules of the AMA is for a telecommunications carrier, without legitimate reasons, to reject interconnection or give unfavourable terms to competitors compared with those for its own departments or affiliates, by offering discriminatory fees for interconnection and other discriminatory practices.
		The fact that all the legislation on access to telecommunications infrastructure and network facilities is sector-specific reinforces the MPHPT’s role as the main regulator of access issues in the telecommunications industry.
		Although telecommunications liberalisation dates back to 1985, there is a scarcity of JFTC decisions on anti-competitive practices regarding access to the telecommunications market as well as a general lack of policy papers or guidelines in this area.

	dCult.com - dedicated to the exploration of cultural policy
		Globalization describes the changes in societies and the world economy that result from dramatically increased international trade and cultural exchange.
		The other key aspect of globalization is changes in technology, particularly in transport and communications, which it is claimed are creating a global village.
		So, they argue that the frontiers of countries, in a broad sense, are far from being dissolved, and therefore this radical globalization process is not happening, and probably will not happen (see Linda Weiss), considering that in world history, internationalization never turned into globalization (the European Union and NAFTA are yet to prove their case).

	Telecommunications Infrastructure Design Process
		Periodically, every building owner or manager should survey tenants to determine their satisfaction level with existing infrastructure and what their telecommunication needs are, or will be in the future.
		It is imperative that the building owner has a comprehensive map of the entire telecommunications infrastructure in the building.
		Typically the telecommunications consultant will engage spectrum management vendors to perform rooftop surveys that identify and document all currently installed equipment on the rooftop and associated equipment in the building.

	CNN - Global Y2K: The great unknown - June 8, 1999
		Part of the problem with trying to assess preparedness globally lies in the prevalence of industry self-assessments, which have been likened to allowing students to grade their own tests -- it's tempting to change the results to make the outcome appear more positive.
		Because of its interconnected nature, the global telecommunications infrastructure is perhaps the most susceptible industry to year-2000 breakdowns - and most critical to company operations.
		Breakdowns in the telecommunications networks could have a ripple effect in numerous industries, such as banking and financial markets, that rely heavily on communications networks.
