Modern Communication Services
Personal computing facilitates easy access, manipulation, storage, and exchange of information, and these processes require reliable data transmission. Communicating documents by images and the use of high-resolution graphics terminals provide a more natural and informative mode of human interaction than do voice and data alone. Video teleconferencing enhances group interaction at a distance. High-definition entertainment video improves the quality of pictures, but requires much higher transmission rates.
These new data transmission requirements may require new transmission means other than the present overcrowded radio spectrum . A modern telecommunications network (such as the broadband network) must provide all these different services (multi-services) to the user.
