The Great Indian Phone Book - How Cheap Mobile Phones Change Business, Politics and Daily Life (Paperback, UK ed.): Robin... The Great Indian Phone Book - How Cheap Mobile Phones Change Business, Politics and Daily Life (Paperback, UK ed.)

The cheap mobile phone is arguably the most significant personal communications device in history. In India, where caste hierarchy has reinforced power for generations, the disruptive potential of the mobile phone is even more striking than elsewhere. In 2001, India had 35 million telephones, only four million of them mobiles. Ten years later, it had more than 800 million phone subscribers; more than 95 per cent were mobile phones. In a decade, communications in India have been transformed by a device that can be shared by fisherfolk in Kerala, boatmen in Banaras, great capitalists in Mumbai and power-wielding politicians and bureaucrats in New Delhi. Village councils banned unmarried girls from having mobile phones. Families debated whether new brides should surrender them. Cheap mobile phones became photo albums, music machines and radios. Religious images and uplifting messages flooded tens of millions of phones each day. Pornographers and criminals found a tantalising new tool. In politics, organisations with cadres of true believers exploited a resource infinitely more effective than telegrams, postcards and the printing press for carrying messages to workers, followers and voters. Jeffrey and Doron focus on three groups - controllers: the bureaucrats, politicians and capitalists who wrestle over control of radio frequency spectrum; servants: the marketers, agents, technicians, tower-builders, repairers and second-hand dealers who carry mobile phones to the masses; and users: the politicians, activists, businesses and households that adapt the mobile phone to their needs. The book probes the whole universe of the mobile phone - from the contests of great capitalists and governments to control radio frequency spectrum, to the ways ordinary people build the troublesome and addictive device into their daily lives.

As the internet of things market is booming, several issues are delaying the full realization of the technology. Currently, business competitors are jockeying for a piece of the market, meaning solutions from researchers that address these issues is crucial for internet of things technology developers. Overpromising followed by underdelivering has been the current approach by many innovators, and the mismatch results in losses in production, orphaned technologies, and frequent system failures. Solutions that address internet of things performance issues must be studied in order to take full advantage of this emerging market. Achieving Full Realization and Mitigating the Challenges of the Internet of Things addresses the challenges faced in rolling out internet of things technologies as well as the various performance issues. Covering a range of topics such as cybersecurity and connectivity issues, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, academicians, researchers, practitioners, technology developers, instructors, and students.

Ais ich dieses Buch im Jahre 1920 zum ersten lYIale herausgab, folgte ich vielfach geapBerten Wiinschen, die von mir fiir die Firma Siemens & Halske geschriebenen Technischen Anweisungen iiber Wechselstrom-Leistungsmessungen weitesten Kreisen in geschlossener Form zuganglich zu machen. Bei dieser Entwicklung konnten naturgemaB nur Siemens-Apparate in dem Buch be schrieben werden. Da diese jedoch nur als Ausfiihrungsbeispiele fiir den im iibrigen allgemein behandelten Stoff dienen und sich die Fabrikate anderer Firmen von den beschriebenen nicht prin zipiell, sondern nur in konstruktiven Einzelheiten unterscheiden, ist die Beschrankung auf ein Fabrikat belanglos. Diese Behand lungsweise bietet vielmehr den Vorteil, daB das ganze Gebiet an einer einheitlich durchgebildeten Reihe von MeBgeraten be sprochen werden kann und daB statt allgemeiner Angaben iiberall festliegende Zahlen gebracht werden konnen. Um den hierdurch gegebenen Gebrauchswert des Buches zu erhalten, sind auch in der zweiten und in der vorliegenden dritten Auflage als Aus fiihrungsbeispiele im allgemeinen nur Siemens-MeBgerate gebracht. Im iibrigen ist jedoch das Buch seit dem ersten Erscheinen voll standig umgearbeitet worden. In der vorliegenden drittw Auflage ist der Stoff nach allgemein giiltigen Gesichtspunkten neu aufgebaut und gegliedert worden. Hierdurch ergab sich die Moglichkeit, das Gemeinsame der ver schiedenen MeBgerate zusammenzufassen und einheitlich zu be handeIn. So wird beispielsweise erst die Bauart der verschiedenen MeBwerke der Leistungsmesser geschlossen behandelt, dann werden die Ausfiihrungsmoglichkeiten der Innenschaltung und endlich die fiir die Messungen erforderliche Berechnung der Kon stanten in allgemein geltender Form gebracht."

What is at stake socially, culturally, politically, and economically when we routinely use technology to gather information about our bodies and environments? Today anyone can purchase technology that can track, quantify, and measure the body and its environment. Wearable or portable sensors detect heart rates, glucose levels, steps taken, water quality, genomes, and microbiomes, and turn them into electronic data. Is this phenomenon empowering, or a new form of social control? Who volunteers to enumerate bodily experiences, and who is forced to do so? Who interprets the resulting data? How does all this affect the relationship between medical practice and self care, between scientific and lay knowledge? Quantified examines these and other issues that arise when biosensing technologies become part of everyday life. The book offers a range of perspectives, with views from the social sciences, cultural studies, journalism, industry, and the nonprofit world. The contributors consider data, personhood, and the urge to self-quantify; legal, commercial, and medical issues, including privacy, the outsourcing of medical advice, and self-tracking as a "paraclinical" practice; and technical concerns, including interoperability, sociotechnical calibration, alternative views of data, and new space for design.

R2,031 Discovery Miles 20 310 Out of stock

In multi-hop wireless networks; that is, networks where messages must traverse multiple nodes before reaching their destination, wireless relay nodes must play a dual role: they serve as intermediate steps for relaying schemes and as part of the mechanism that allows interference management schemes. Hence, relaying and interference management are two key aspects of communication in wireless networks. Both these aspects are introduced in a tutorial manner before going on to consider the combination of the two. In multi-hop multi-flow networks, the challenge is to combine the insights obtained in the study of single-hop multi-flow networks and multi-hop single-flow networks in order to design schemes that handle relaying and interference management simultaneously. This monograph discusses the gains that can be obtained by taking such a unified approach to relaying and interference management. Multihop Wireless Networks is of interest to students and researchers working on modern network systems.
