“…Third, standards are lacking and if a customer moves from one region served by one cable provider to one by a different company, there is no guarantee of compatibility. However, IEEE P802.14 Cable TV MAC and PHY Protocol Working Group, and ATM Forum's Residential Broadband Working Group are working collaboratively to alleviate the lack of standards problem (Laubach, 1996). Finally, cable modems are still quite expensive compared to telephone modems.…”

Digital libraries are becoming vital in basic research and general surfing of the Internet and the Web. Unlike text‐based digital libraries, image intensive digital libraries have inherent problems of slow downloading and uploading. These bottlenecks are caused by low bandwidth at the “last mile”, the distance between the telecommunications carriers’ distribution center – or central office and the user premises. Telecommunications technologies which are commonly used to alleviate this problem are: high end analog modems, T… series, frame relay, ISDN, cable modems, digital subscriber line and satellites. The article summarizes the latest developments of these technologies and how they can be used by various types of information professionals and end‐users in accessing digital libraries.

“…It is important to note, that the users of a cable data modem systems are using a shared medium (i.e. a legacy LAN), which means, that the offered bandwidth of the 10 Mbit/s Ethernet for example, have to be shared by all users related to this LAN (Laubach, 1996). Like in a legacy LAN environment, there are no QoS guarantees provided by the network.…”

The evolution of the modern telecommunication environment depends on three main factors: (i) the market demand for new services, (ii) the politically stimulated liberalisation of the telecommunication market, and (iii) the technological advances of new telecommunication technologies. The technological advances include getting the fibre closer to the subscribers, cheaper equipment costs and standardisation. Network operators are forced nowadays to enable, by offering new services, very high profit in a very short period of time with limited investment. For this reason, especially the access network and the technologies linked to it have an increasing importance for the economic success of an operator in a liberalised telecommunication market. This article describes the most distinguishing aspects of an access network, its positioning within a telecommunication system, and the most important technological developments in this field: Fibre In The Loop (FITL) systems, Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL) technologies on copper twisted pair and the Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) technology on CATV networks.
