Unlocking the Internet for Education: Policymakers Hold the Key
Education is the basis for individual empowerment, employability, and gender equity. Unfortunately, it is not available to everyone.
In 2015, the international community agreed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which commits countries to addressing these challenges. Such commitments require innovative approaches that go beyond simply building more educational institutions. At the Internet Society we believe the Internet is a key piece of that puzzle, which is why we are pleased to release a new paper, “Internet Access and education: Key considerations for policy makers”, to help navigate some of the opportunities and challenges.
The Internet has great potential to not only expand access to, but also improve the quality of education. It opens doorways to a wealth of information, knowledge, and educational resources to students and teachers. It also promotes opportunities for learning beyond the classroom – a critical feature to promote the lifelong learning that the future demands. A skilled workforce that utilizes ICTs effectively is a key factor in the global digital economy and for harnessing its natural resources for sustainable growth. Education is where it starts.
This Internet Society briefing describes ways in which policymakers can unlock that potential through an enabling framework Continue reading
The Supreme Court Wanders into the Patent Troll Fight
Next Monday, the US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Oil States Energy Services, LLC vs. Greene’s Energy Group, LLC, which is a case to determine whether the Inter Partes Review (IPR) administrative process at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) used to determine the validity of patents is constitutional.
The constitutionality of the IPR process is one of the biggest legal issues facing innovative technology companies, as the availability of this process has greatly reduced the anticipated costs, and thereby lessened the threat, of patent troll litigation. As we discuss in this blog post, it is ironic that the outcome of a case that is of such great importance to the technology community today may hinge on what courts in Britain were and were not doing more than 200 years ago.

As we have discussed in prior blog posts, the stakes are high: if the Supreme Court finds IPR unconstitutional, then the entire system of administrative review by the USPTO — including IPR and ex parte processes — will be shuttered. This would be a mistake, as administrative recourse at the USPTO is one of the few ways Continue reading

Basic Configuration of OSPF Over non-Broadcast Networks ( NBMA)
Today I will talk about the basic set of configurations of OSPF NBMA network type over the non Broadcast networks. Many of you guys already aware of the NBMA network type in the OSPF network.
Lets have a Basic OSPF Network diagram for you guys, then we will come up with the diagram showing the routers connected in the OSPF via Frame-Relay network which will act as a NBMA OSPF network type.
NBMA stands for Non-Broadcast Multiple Access where the network types X.25 and Frame Relay has no capability to support Broadcast traffic. Here in our example we will take Frame-Relay as a NBMA network which is connected via two routers 1 and 2. I defined these routers as Continue reading
Before we start with the OSFP NBMA configuration part, I would like to tell you guys that we have our own youtube channel for various network videos that can further help you guys to study further. I will going to add many more videos soon on the channel, Please subscribe to the channel for the study network related videos
