Verizon Wireless traces its roots to Bell Atlantic Mobile, NYNEX Mobile Communications, Air Touch Communications, Prime Co Communications, and GTE Mobil net. Bell Atlantic Mobile and NYNEX Mobile Communications merged in 1995 to create Bell Atlantic - NYNEX Mobile,[6] and in 1997 their namesake Baby Bell parents followed suit to form the new Bell Atlantic and their wireless
subsidiary was renamed Bell Atlantic Mobile. Bell Atlantic Mobile and NYNEX Mobile Communications were created from Advanced Mobile Phone
Service, Inc., which was a
subsidiary of AT&T created in 1978 to provide cellular service nationwide. AMPS, Inc. was divided among the RBOCs as part of the Bell System Divestiture.
The Internet is a global system
of interconnected computer
networks that use the standard
Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP)
to serve billions of users
worldwide. It is a network of
networks that consists of
millions of private, public,
academic, business, and
government networks, of local
to global scope, that are linked
by a broad array of electronic,
wireless and optical
networking technologies. The
Internet carries a vast range of
information resources and
services, such as the inter-
linked hypertext documents of
the World Wide Web and the
infrastructure to support
electronic mail. An Internet service
provider (ISP) is a company that
provides access to the Internet.
Access ISPs connect
customers to the Internet using
copper, wireless or fiber
connections. Hosting ISPs
lease server space for smaller
businesses and host other
people servers’ collocation
Transit ISPs provide large
tubes for connecting.
A communications satellite
(sometimes abbreviated to
COMSAT) is an artificial satellite
stationed in space for the
purpose of telecommunications.
Modern communications
satellites use a variety of orbits
including geostationary orbits,
Molina orbits, other elliptical
orbits and low (polar and non-
polar) Earth orbits. For fixed
(point-to-point) services,
communications satellites
provide a microwave radio relay
technology complementary to
that of submarine
communication cables. They are
also used for mobile applications
such as communications to
ships, vehicles, planes and hand-
held terminals, and for TV and
radio broadcasting, for which
application of other
technologies, such as cable, is
impractical or impossible.
Telecommunication
s and meteorology
Meteorology is the science that
studies atmospheric phenomena,
especially those that relate to
weather. Meteorologists who
forecast the weather rely on
thousands of weather stations
located around the world, both on
land and at sea. At each station,
measurements are taken of such
things as air pressure and
temperature, wind speed, cloud
cover, and precipitation. Elsewhere,
upper-level observations are made by
weather balloons, and satellites,
which send a continuous flow of
photographs back to earth. All of this
information is sent to national
weather centers where it is plotted
on charts and analyzed by
meteorologists. This information,
called a forecast, is then sent to the
public by newspapers, radio and
television. Meteorology is important
because we are learning about our
atmosphere, the weather, and the
things that shape our world. It helps
us learn more about how to predict
natural disasters and prevent more
destruction....meteorology is very
helpful and a great part of
science...and also a super fun field to
work in.
