2006 - year of broadband

According to the traditional calendar of Asians like China or Vietnam, 2006 will be the year of Tuat - or five dogs - but with the world of high-speed broadband technology is still the top target throughout the year. come back here.

During that five-year period the upward 'curve' indicates that broadband development will gradually become more straightforward indicating a stronger faster growth rate.

This upward trend will continue next year - in 2006, as more and more people switched to wider bandwidth usage as well as the existing access bandwidth rate also increased significantly.

According to experts, if only high speed alone is not enough, the key issue here is to develop services based on broadband. Therefore it is anticipated that next year there will be a series of new broadband-based services launched.

Ian Fogg - Jupiter's leading analyst - predicts that 2006 will be the year of "conflict" between the two services services sector on the broadband platform - television and phone.

' This will be the main debate topic in 2006 when the tension between one side is what Internet service providers offer on one side is what other third parties provide , Ian Fogg said.

Creative voice

Some companies, such as the UK's largest media group, BBC or Apple, will have to compete with Internet service providers to put content on users' computers around the world and by the end of 2006. then ' that may still not be called Television, ' Fogg said.

The same thing is sure to happen on the phone front over the Internet, the same thing will happen when service providers will have to compete with companies like Vonage and Skype in providing these. telecommunications services on a broadband platform.

2006 will also be the year that experts will have to sit together and focus their attention on blogs, podcasts as well as some other content. ' But this problem may still be an interesting hobby, but it poses a big question,' What will be the impact on the Internet of users of these types of services? '' Said Fogg.

The promise of a new generation of creative citizens can help us reminisce about what has been said about the 'network' - or the Internet - in the early days of the web's launch. So far, although the broadband network has been present in more than 50% of the UK's home base as well as in Europe, there is probably still room for hype a truth.

Faster and cheaper

2005 is really an exciting year for broadband users around the world when the speed of broadband network has improved significantly. The speed of access is constantly being raised while the cost price is increasingly decreasing when service providers introduce new technologies.

Looking back at the broadband market in Vietnam we see a similar thing. In the past year, the cost of using a broadband network - ADSL service - in Vietnam has decreased significantly. It must be said that service providers are using price measures to compete for market share with each other but there are also providers that use both measures simultaneously - price and speed. Here we would like not to discuss the issue of service quality because this is a problem we need to sit back and waste paper to discuss with each other.

Take, for example, Vietnam's largest Internet service provider, for example, VDC Computer and Data Communication Company. In 2005, this Internet service provider implemented a number of measures to lower the price of its MegaVNN services in order to promote the development of broadband networks in the user community.

Obviously, the introduction of four different MegaVNN ADSL service packages, both in terms of access speed and cost, has helped the ADSL broadband network grow extremely fast and replace the traditional dial-up network system. Moreover, giving these 4 service packages also helps increase the choice for users about investment fees as well as monthly usage fees. The most obvious point is that the cost of services has decreased significantly compared to 2 years ago.

In addition, users can also use FPT's service package. This is the supplier that uses both moves - price and speed - to win the market. The cheapest service package of FPT also costs quite cheaply and the speed is much faster than other service providers.

Meanwhile Viettel, even though it has just stepped into the field of Internet service provision, has decided to step into the broadband market with service promotions and service costs quite cheap.

Technology issues

There have been fears about the second digital divide - those in remote areas are always slower. This is a problem that needs to be considered carefully when the speed of access is increasing rapidly in urban areas.

Point Topic analyst in November released a report emphasizing the problem of ultra-fast broadband speeds as well as giving new doubts about whether technology could bring users. how much?

Even for urban users, the ADSL2 + network still has to rely heavily on the distance between the access point and the telephone switchboard as well as the quality of their phone lines. .

A lesson for users in 2006 seems not to believe everything that is hyped up around the 'ultra-high-speed broadband' service. Users should check their phone lines before registering to use broadband services.

But even so, 2006 will still prove that this will be the year for broadband.
