Technology plays a major role in the telecommunicatons industry, not only because it improves the way of production or supplying of its products but because this is the most important gadget in people’s lives and they are always seeking for the most cutting edge tech. The telephone and mobile network, for example, some years ago had a lot of interference and difficulties with the signal levels but when it changed from analog to digital those things were not a problem anymore and the costs for providing the service was lower. Besides that the telecommunications industry before was limited by countries’ boundaries but as the technology evolved and things as roaming appeared those limitations vanished.
The services that were provided by the telecom industry increased in a radical way, currently they offer thousands of options to satisfy the different demands of the costumers.

The supply chain of the telecom industry is not as implicit as for other industries because this is sort of an oligopolistic industry and in most cases the same corporation that provides a specific telecom service is the one that produces most things. Subscription tv services are an easy example their supply chain begins with the company that creates the shows or the movies, then the different channels that will show the program and then the carrier of the service such as Comcast for example. In the mobile network there are parts and it distributors and then the carrier because as I sayd before they produce most of their product. In this industry there is not that much manufactury per se and as a result mostly everything is done domestically.

Technology has a big effect on our life. People now a days cant live with out technology; especially telecom technology. Our generation have grown up use to using telecom technology. For example cell phones. I personally once camped in the desert for a week. I took my Blackberry with me thinking there would be service out there. Unfortunately there wasn’t service there. The first three days I really felt like there was something wrong, I needed my cell phone. After I got use to not having my cell phone for a couple of days I started to realize how comforting it was and how relaxing life was. What I am trying to say is that we (our generation) are not use to living in a life with out technology and telecommunication.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is changing more rapidly today than it ever has before. Therefore, because telecommunications is so strongly linked to available technology, telecommunications is one of the fastest growing industries in the business world today. Unlike other industries that have been doing the same things for years, the telecom industry is required to constantly evolve to keep up with continually changing technologies. This is good for us, as students interested in telecom, because the field is so dynamic that it keeps the job market fresh and open for people who are knowledgeable about the constantly changing technological field.
