AT&T to invest $14B over 3 years to improve networks

New Card 2


AT&T, the top U.S. telephone company, said it will invest $14 billion over three years to improve the networks that deliver wireless communications, high- speed Internet access and TV services.
According Roger Entner, who is an analyst at Recon Analytics in Deham, Mass said “today's world, if you don't have broadband, both wireless and wireline, the competition will tear you to pieces”. Nowadays a company that stops investing in the network is a company that starts dying. This is clearly designed to compete toe-to-toe with Verizon and the cable companies.
AT&T said its fourth-generation wireless network, which uses long-term evolution technology, will cover 300 million people by the end of 2014
Total capital spending will be about $22 billion for each of the next three years, AT&T said. That topped the estimate of as much as $20 billion by John Hodulik, an analyst at UBS in New York.

This is information about the iPad Mini is going to be on a lot of wish lists this holiday season. It's beautiful and light, but Apple made a big compromise in the design, one that means that buyers should look closely at the competition before deciding. It will be the best for a lot of people going to choice. It’s beautiful and like.
The iPad Mini doesn't have a Retina screen. . By comparison with the first IPad and the IPad2, the iPad Mini's screen looks dull because it doesn't have the same color-boosting technology that the full-size model has.
The base model of the iPad Mini costs $329 and comes with 16 gigabytes of storage. A 32 GB model goes for $429 and 64 GB for $529. Soon, you'll be able to get versions that can connect through cellular networks, not just Wi-Fi. Add $130 to the price.

The Military government has been ruled Burma since 1962. If we compare with another country, the culture is diversities; the technology and economy are less developed in Burma last a couple centuries ago. The government only spends a small amount of budget for the education and technological development for the country. The impact of globalization, technological and economic change, accumulation of all knowledge demands for the Burma’s people. To be solve the problem of the culture diversities, technology and economy, we should educate the student for the social issue, promoting national unity, learning how cooperatively with others and focusing enhancing the practical capabilities of the Technology. Providing the basic knowledge cultural, technological and economic context for school children, youth and adult in Burma is keystone for Burma’s education reforms.
Cultural diversities are important issue to reform education in country. Burma has over 100 ethnicities with different linguistic and religious diversity. Most of ethnic areas are reflected by civil war which has persisted more than half century. Each ethnic minority wants to develop their language and literacy. However, the government does not allow teaching ethnic language in government school. Ethnic educational regimes are complex and fragmented. To be reformed for the education in ethnic areas, promoting national unity and learning how cooperatively with others are the best way to education kid, youth and adult in Burma.
Technology is the fundamental tools to develop for learning. Students need productivity tools for the same reason we do. They may need to write, read, communicate, organize and schedule their works. As I heard some educator said that technology is no substitute for an inspiring teacher. However, On-line materials are far more available. We should educate student about technology to get more reliable study for their assignment. For example, the teacher provides student to assignment their homework online, sharing to their friend to get some feedback from each other. A portable personal computer will make a student’s life more life more effective for their task. Therefore, I would say that technology is the best ways to focus for the kids, youth and adult for in the learning.
The economy is back bone for the country and helps the family to support their children to earn their education. The foundations of economic freedom in Burma are weak. Private real property and intellectual property are not protected. The government has been misled the economy since 1962. The foundation of economic freedom is fragile and uneven across the country. Most students drop out from the school because of poverty. For example, young people are leaving from the school migrate to neighbor country to find a job to support their family. The most family have a big income, they can support their kid to go to school and enjoy for their learning. I think that the strong economic we can reduce the children getting drop out from the school.
 In conclusion, I would suggest that in the future the students should be knowledgeable about the culture diversities, revolutionary of technology and economic reformed during their study in school. As a result, the student can be adopted for any different situation for their future. Therefore, to be more effectiveness for the future education, we should consider educating our new generation about revolutionary economic and technology and culture diversities.
