The Session urges all stakeholders to ensure that ICTs, and especially access to mobile telephony and broadband Internet access, need to be fully recognized by the international community in the UN’s post-2015 development agenda to empower people intellectually and financially, to open up fresh employment opportunities, and to give people greater access to learning and education, and health services.

Two 'modern' telephones of the latter years of the last Century:
LHS: STC 'Trimphone' push-button variant (loop-disconnect) type 766, introduced (in the London area) in 1977. The unit here was manufactured in 1981.
RHS: Type 8782 push-button (DTMF) used by BT. Based on the ubiquitous 746 dial telephone of the 1970's (the case is identical in every respect - only the dial, or push-button, escutcheon is different), this instrument is fitted with 2 x 2000 Ohm ringer bobbins in series to give a REN of 1.

Kudos to our US & Canada Sales Manager, Bill Soto, for preparing these great videos! He has created a series of five 5-10 minute clips which explain how Xorcom products work to provide robust, reliable telephony to commercial installations.
Here is the first module in the set. It covers the network topology of the Xorcom solution, detailing the equipment used and explaining how Xorcom systems route both PSTN and VoIP calls in the enterprise environment.
This room was the central telecomms room and would have been filled with row upon row of racks such as these, housing telephony equipment.

Avenue de Flandre (formely « rue de Flandre ») is one of the main thoroughfares in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, 1,500 m long.
It connects Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad to Avenue Corentin-Cariou and provides access to the Paris ring road via Porte de la Villette.
Traffic is organized around a central parterre lined with trees.
Before 2019, the avenue was composed, in each direction, of 2 traffic lanes (including a lane reserved for public transport and bicycles on only part of the avenue) bordered by 2 parking lanes (one on each side) .
Since 2019, a cycle path has been created in each direction in place of the parking lot on the central side.
The avenue is bordered on most of its length by various shops, practically all services being available: general food, cafes, catering (fast, traditional and foreign), mass distribution (traditional and hard-discount), DIY, services banks, pharmacies, sale and repair of automobiles, bicycles and mopeds, optics, bookstores, telephony, libraries, real estate agencies, etc.

The Torre dei Lamberti is a medieval tower in Verona , 84 meters high, which rises from Piazza Erbe , the ancient Roman Forum , in the historic center of the city .
With the exception of the Italian Telecom Tower in the district of San Michele Extra (149 meters) and the Borgo Roma Italy Telecom Tower (102 meters), as structures for telephony, the Torre dei Lamberti holds the record for tallest building in the city of Verona , followed by the white bell tower of the Cathedral , 74.9 meters high.
The origins
The tower was commissioned by the powerful family Lamberti (subsequently banished from Verona and extinct), which began to build it in the eleventh century . At that dates back to the lowest part in tan brick and tufa . In 1140 , in the middle age city, was elected to the civic tower was installed and the first bell , of which nothing is known. In 1272 the statutes stated that, in addition to the bell of ' Arengo (then known as Rengo, he called in the assembly meeting), there was also another, the Marangona (derived from "joiner", which in Veronese dialect means carpenter ), to signal the beginning and end of work activities [1] .
In the fourteenth century
In 1311 a bell was recast and a new addition, called the Consolata. In 1394 it fell to Gianfrancesco da Legnago redo the Rengo , which was then also used to scan the executions of death sentences, alarms, signs of fire, the gathering of the militia and the arrival of a plague. Were present at the bell, with the function of janitors, prison guards (the tower usually housed some prison) and lookouts. They were wrong salaried, but staying free of charge in the tower and were exempt from taxes and military obligations .
Venetian period
In May 1403 a bolt of lightning struck the top of the tower, and only in 1448 work began on the restoration and elevation. that lasted until 1464 . In 1406 the bell made ââa plea for the Venetian governor ( Verona recently came under the rule of the Venetian Republic ), maintained their privileges, from what he confirmed. Have come down to us the names of the players of the time: John Bonifacio from San Giovanni in Valle , Christopher Michael from St Nazaire , Benassù James from Santa Maria in Organo , John Nicholas Hood from San Fermo . In 1452 all'Archicampanista Gasparino from Vicenza was awarded the recasting of the bells Marangona and Rengo. In 1471 it was again rebuilt since the Marangona cracked. In the meantime ( 1464 ) ended the work of raising, bringing the tower to reach the 84 meters, completed in style Gothic , in its present form .
In 1521 the Bonaventurini [5] remade the Rengo, which was recast by them in 1557 , getting one that still rings on the tower, octagonal within the cell. In 1597 the dynasty Levo From recast the Marangona, as noted by the teacher Gardoni "Gothic in shape." We also know the identity of ringers into service in 1606 , Roger Minali and children, replaced in his role, from 1632 to 1797 by the family Tanara, in whose chronicles remember that their elderly was burned by a lightning while stretched out a window of tower; a young man fell from the same of their family without suffering any injury.
In the eighteenth century
The Lamberti Tower photographed from the bell tower of the Cathedral of Verona .
In 1779 the famous founder Joseph Ruffini prepared a bell of hours is (in agreement with the eighth Rengo) and another called Rabbiosa to complete the deal that appeared as:
Rengo : note is flat , fused by Bonaventurini in 1557 ;
Marangona : known Kings , melted by the Da Levo in 1597 ;
Angry : note Fa sharp , cast by Ruffini in 1779 ;
Consolata or Bajona : note the , fused by an unknown in 1311 ;
Doorbell hours : note is flat , fused by Ruffini in 1779 .
These are the bells that rang during the historical event of the Veronese Easters .
Also in 1779 there was a proposal to place a large clock on the tower, but the watchmaker who had to do the work died before they start. It was, in 1798 , Count John Sagramoso in place, at his own expense, the clock, replacing that of the nearby Torre del Gardello , who had stopped working for some time .
From the nineteenth century to the present day
In 1833 the Knight John Cavadini, director of a foundry bells rival that of his brother Francis, recast Marangona Rabbiosa Bajona and getting the current complex consists of:
Rengo : note is flat 2, diameter 184 cm, weight 4215 kg. Fused by Bonaventurini in 1557 . is one of the best bells Renaissance and from the point of view of acoustic and decorative, as well as a rarity for age and size.
Marangona : known Kings 3, diameter 130 cm, weight 1300 kg. Excellent and rich fusion of John Cavadini of 1833 . It is one of the best achievements of the period and, without doubt, the best of this smelter.
Bajona : note Fa 3, diameter 108 cm, weight 750 kg. Merged with the Marangona.
Bell : note is flat 3, diameter 82 cm, weight 330 kg. Fused by Ruffini in 1779 . It was used as a clock signal.
The whole forms a fundamental harmonic arrangement of four bronzes to jump ( Sib 2 - King 3 - Makes 3 - Sib 3), as was the custom in the Baroque era.
At the beginning of the twentieth century the task was entrusted to the bell of St. Anastasia . It was the Rengo, November 4 1918 , 10:30, playing a party to announce the armistice with Austria , the end of the First World War [9] . After the Second World War , the management of the bells of the tower passed to companies bell of Santa Maria in Organo (which in 1994 was absorbed by St. Anastasia )
The tower is now open to the public and you can get in the belfries thanks to the stairs or the elevator, enjoying the panoramic view of the city.
The city was the capital of Brazil for nearly two centuries, from 1763 to 1815 during the Portuguese colonial era, 1815 to 1821 as the capital of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves, and from 1822 to 1960 as an independent nation. Rio is nicknamed the Cidade Maravilhosa or "Marvelous City."
Rio de Janeiro represents the second largest GDP in the country [5] (and 30th largest in the world [6]), estimated at about 140 billion reais (IBGE/2007), and is the headquarters of two major Brazilian companies – Petrobras and Vale, and major oil companies and telephony in Brazil, besides the largest conglomerate of media and communications companies in Latin America, the Globo Organizations. The home of many universities and institutes, it is the second largest center of research and development in Brazil, accounting for 17% of national scientific production – according to 2005 data.[7]
Rio de Janeiro is the most visited city in the southern hemisphere and is known for its natural settings, carnival celebrations, samba, Bossa Nova, balneario beaches[8] such as Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon. Some of the most famous landmarks in addition to the beaches include the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer ('Cristo Redentor') atop Corcovado mountain, named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; Sugarloaf mountain (Pão de Açúcar) with its cable car; the Sambódromo, a permanent grandstand-lined parade avenue which is used during Carnival; and Maracanã stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums.
5.Too many customers per account manager in most Telco’s
It takes several (5+) years, endless training sessions and raw experience to have any real hope of understanding the technology in modern Voice and Data Networks. This means that most customers have to put up with unsuitably qualified, inexperienced account managers who are forced into reactive modes due to the high customer to account manager ratios.
Would you trust your business with an inexperienced Accountant or perhaps a 1st year Solicitor?
I’ve lost count of the times I’ve heard “we have an account manager, but we never hear from them and we can never raise them on the phone”.

our love can be found
in the static between stations
in the early AM of late conversations
I feel the telephonic tension of words between wires
the ultrasonic rhythm of my lover in motion
the commotion on the line of crosstalk in the margins
carbon voices in chorus speaking over the cables
strung through my rafters and drilled through the tiles
pulled across the border of kilometers and miles
that's how far we're going
crossing the tempo of two time zones
turning my tongue to the telephone
pressed to my ear
the thunder has grown
I lie with the lightning
I hear the echo of a moan

The toilet finder app can't add it. While there is GSM coverage for mobile telephony, there is no mobile data out there. Not with Vodafone, anyway.
In this data visualisation work the unseen landscape where broadcasting happens – the electromagnetic spectrum – is brought to life. Artists Jose Luis de Vincente & Irma Vila worked in collaboration with Bestiario, the Barcelona-based creators who specialise in making intangible things such as networks and relationships more visible to us all.
The radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum is something that cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. This work shows the structure and topology of the spectrum and reveals what kinds of activities happen there, from television and radio, to mobile telephony and wireless internet. Atlas of Electromagnetic Space also showed the assignation of frequencies to different communication protocols, and the cultural, social and artistic interventions that are currently taking place in the spectrum.
Displayed on several large plasma screens located in the central foyer of Middlesbrough’s Institute for Digital Innovation, this installation enabled visitors to interact with the electromagnetic spectrum, and learn more about it.

Der Oderturm is a 24-story high-rise office building in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, built between 1968 and 1976 (when the city was in East Germany). It is arguably the tallest structure in Brandenburg, with a mobile telephony mast reaching 95 meters; however, its roof height of 89 m is one meter less than that of the Stern-Plaza in Potsdam, built in 1998.
The tower was designed by a collective under architects Hans Tulke and Paul Teichmann and built in part by Free German Youth (FDJ) work brigades; construction lasted nearly eight years. It was planned as an office building, but when it opened it housed a 274-bed dormitory for workers in the Frankfurt semiconductor plant, as well as a 160-bed Youth Tourist Hotel (Jugendtourist-Hotel), similar to a youth hostel, but geared towards organized meetings such as the Whitsuntide meetings of the FDJ with its Polish counterpart, the ZSMP, of which the 1977 meeting, not long after the opening of the hotel, was the most significant. The ground level of the tower complex was made up of two three-story buildings with an open-air shopping passage between them, which included a 400 m2 supermarket (Kaufhalle) and the popular Oderland-Grill restaurant, while the 23rd floor featured a panoramic cafe.
After German reunification, the building was refurbished in 1992 to 1994, following the plans of architect Monika Krebs, when it opened as the Oderturm. The tower became an office building, the cafe was removed, and the lower buildings were transformed, with new construction, into an enclosed shopping center. A large illuminated sign was added to the roof, making the Oderturm an easily identifiable landmark. A cafe, Turm24, returned to the 23rd floor in 2000.
The Oderturm figured prominently in the 2002 film Halbe Treppe (Grill Point).

Another key frustration for businesses is the sheer complexity of many phone and data solutions. The good news is that communications complexity ends with Greg Eicke! As do all of its painful implications. Almost three decades in this industry has enabled me to develop what I call ‘brilliantly simple’ phone solutions. These solutions will make communications and collaboration second nature for your workforce. And of course they save you big dollars in ongoing phone costs… another reason why they are brilliant!
