mike b asked:


I live in an apartment by myself and I don’t have a home phone (I have a cell phone). Just wondering if its possible to have dsl internet withought having any phone service

Requirements:



A friend with a PSP

One or two copies of a multiplayer-enabled game



 

Do I need extra cables or an internet connection?

The great thing about the PSP is that you can connect your PSP (up to 16, game depending) to another PSP wirelessly without the need of an internet connection. So gone are the days that you had to carry an extra cable to connect two consoles. The PSP has the ability to connect to another PSP and form their own private PSP network and so opening up the doors to wi-fi gaming heaven.

How do I setup my PSP wi-fi access?

Flick the switch of the WLAN on the top side of the PSP Slim, or on the left if you have an older PSP model. That is it easy as one, two, three.

What is the range of PSP Wi-Fi?

The rang is up to 150 feet, but I would recommend as close by as you can, because the further away the weaker the signal.

What PSP games offer multiplayer mode 

The majority of PSP games have a multiplayer mode, but if you are in doubt check the games info.

What are the best PSP multiplayer games?

Well, I came up with a top 10 list PSP games which have a multiplayer mode.

For long, free services like Skype have been associated with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) — i.e., using your computer and a broadband internet line to make long-distance phone calls. Basically, what you used to pay for before came to you for free.

However, the main problem with such a service was, you had to be connected to a computer to place the call, and be right there for the duration of the call. Sort of like the ‘landline’ — you could move around, but you couldn’t move away. So VoIP, despite its usefulness, was not portable.

That was until companies like Netgear, UTStarcom, ZyXEL and Linksys decided to do something about it — They built WiFi phones.

With WiFi phones, VoIP could go portable. So no more computers required, and you could move around (or away) while you talk, and still be ‘online’.

WiFi phones are like cell phones. But instead of using regular carriers like Cingular or Nextel, they use Internet-friendly WiFi networks, and open protocols like SIP, to place your calls.

Unlike a regular phone that transmits voice in the analog form (as is, without converting them), WiFi phones convert your voice into a digital format and transmit them as packets of binary data to a wireless receiver. The receiver then passes the information over the Internet to the call processor. Throughout the process, IP addresses are used in the place of phone numbers to initiate, connect and end the call. These IP addresses act as direction maps for your call — just like when you log on to the Internet and type a web address go to a site.

The concept of WiFi phones (and the associated technology) is still quite new. The preference so far has been to use wifi-enabled laptops and smartphones to log on to a local “hotspot” — maybe at a Starbucks or a city mall — and surf the Internet wirelessly. Using a similar system to make voice calls at lower than market rates (even free) in a city-wide zone, is still in a nascent stage.

But the fact remains that WiFi is a simple, efficient and economical technology. It’s also downright brilliant. Why? Because it has strong roots in digital convergence — the idea of combining as one many of the functions, protocols, services and standards that baffle us, and offering a core solution for simplifying technology itself, a need echoed by today’s multitasking world. And as this technology grows and its pluses sink in, it’s only a matter of time before WiFi becomes the de facto choice and centerpiece of mobile communication.

I use BUSINESS-700 plan for bsnl internet connection. i can’t get speed more than 240 kbps. my friend also using bsnl broadband and his office is in my complex. but he can get speed 800 kbps. we both have same plan. is there any mistake with my connection. what type of problem may i have? hardware or software. pls answer me.

I was seriously thinking of calling this article The Pros’ and Pro’s of Business Broadband and T1 Service. I for one am an advocate of such service. The speed, reliability, extensibility coupled with great service can be an asset to any organization dependant on their communications infrastructure. Whether it’s voice, data or an integrated voice and data implementation, the advantages out weigh the cost. If you’re not currently using this technology in your business, it might be time to seriously consider it. Your competition is.

In order to provide an objective article, as objective as I can be given the preceding paragraph, I should point out both the pros’ as well as the cons’. As much of an advocate I am for the use of these technologies, the truth is that it’s not for everyone.

Let’s start with the cons’ of using business broadband and T1 service. First there’s cost. To implement any communications infrastructure takes money. So cost is the first factor.

Knowledge is the second. There is a varying degree of knowledge required in making informed decisions. There are many vendors out there who would be quick to oversell you or promise you cheap costs to gain your business. So knowledge is another factor.

Hardware is the third. This could easily be wrapped into points 1 and 2 above. Depending on the infrastructure you’re considering, it could be as simple as a modem and a router, it may be much more complex than that. We’ve separated hardware out from the two points above, but obviously there is a cost factor in purchasing the hardware and knowledge factor in the use of the hardware.

Let’s take a look at the other side of the coin, the pros’ of using business broadband and T1 service. Any business that relies heavily on it’s communications infrastructure, this technology is a must have. The speed alone quickens the pace within the office. Emails, downloads, research all play a factor in the productivity of each employee. No more waiting for a dial-up connection. No more getting the dial-up connection only to wait some more as web pages slowly populate your screen. Ever send that important email with an RFP attachment (Request for Proposal) or the product outline, or whatever, only to have your signal dropped? This can be very frustrating indeed. How about research? Are you researching for products or services to use within your office or perhaps wanting to check up on your competition? Looking for that information on the internet through dial-up? If that’s the case, you’re the type that REALLY knows how terribly slow dial-up can be. Broadband and T1 technology removes these issues all together with a fast, reliable and extensible infrastructure that can grow with you and your business.

What about cost? I think the real question is the cost of not having this technology. But alas, let’s take a look at cost. How much time do you spend on dial-up? How many times have you had to wait or resend a proposal (or any email for that matter)? What is your time worth in dollars? As a professional, I’m sure you value your time as well as charge for it, depending on your line of business. So, factor that into the picture. How many times have your customers or prospects not been able to reach you because your phone line was tied up? What does that add up to in dollars?

Knowledge? Let’s take a look here as well. Unless you’re in a technology business, no one expects you to become an expert here. You really just need to learn what’s available and even there, if you use a communications broker, you’ll get a person (or team) that listens to what your current needs are and what your growth plans are. Usually this is a free service offered by communications brokers, so you should take advantage of it.

Hardware? Here to, unless you’re a very large corporation, you can outsource this. It’s not as expensive as you might think. First off, your first line of support should be your vendor. They came out and installed the equipment and ran the required communications lines. This may mean learning a little about the hardware. Basically, reset a modem; reset a router, etc. certainly not that hard to do. So the vendor is your first line of support, but if you’ve used a communications broker to obtain your communications infrastructure then they are your second line of support. A broker tends to get the ear of a vendor quicker because of the amount of volume that broker does for the vendor. The end results is that when you’re having issues and your vendor seems unresponsive to you, your communications broker can generally get the attention of the vendor (and resolution to your issues) quicker.

So, cost, knowledge and hardware are but small points in the overall picture. Good business understands total return on investment. Good business knows how to make a purchase then leverage that purchase in a productive manner.

Unless you’re a very, very small business chances are this technology will benefit your organization. Even if you just want to get your feet wet, so to speak, then move up to business grade DSL broadband access. All these technologies are more affordable then you may think.

Get your information, get your quote from multiple vendors and make your decision. It’s just makes good business sense.
