AppleTalk was so easy to use that ad-hoc networks tended to appear whenever multiple Macs were in the same room.

LANs could now support more than 255 nodes, and zones were no longer associated with physical networks, but were entirely virtual constructs used simply to organize nodes.

SVCs were also used in attempts to replace local area networks with ATM.

Later, many AMPS networks were partially converted to D-AMPS, often referred to as TDMA ( though TDMA is a generic term that applies to many cellular systems ).

Rogers Wireless has dismantled their AMPS ( along with IS-136 ) network ; the networks were shut down May 31, 2007.

The Dobson AMPS and TDMA networks were shut down on March 1, 2008.

In Scandinavia many hill forts were part of beacon networks to warn against invading pillagers.

Distribution networks were improved and increased, and an incentive program was developed for sales staff.

Following the 1852 Telegraph Act, Canada's first permanent transatlantic telegraph link was a submarine cable built in 1866 between Ireland and Newfoundland. Telegrams were sent through networks built by Canadian Pacific and Canadian National.

The agreement was complicated by the fact that some Canadian destinations were served by only one of the two networks.

In July 2005, the AT & T Wireless and Cingular Wireless CDPD networks were shut down.

American counterculture exponents like William S. Burroughs ( whose literary influence on Gibson and cyberpunk in general is widely acknowledged ) and Timothy Leary were among the first to extoll the potential of computers and computer networks for individual empowerment.

The word distributed in terms such as " distributed system ", " distributed programming ", and " distributed algorithm " originally referred to computer networks where individual computers were physically distributed within some geographical area.

The first widespread distributed systems were local-area networks such as Ethernet that was invented in the 1970s.

In addition to ARPANET, and its successor, the Internet, other early worldwide computer networks included Usenet and FidoNet from 1980s, both of which were used to support distributed discussion systems.

; Telephone system: large system ; underwent extensive upgrading during 1990s and is reasonably modern ; Telecom Egypt, the landline monopoly, has been increasing service availability and in 2006 fixed-line density stood at 14 per 100 persons ; as of 2007 there were three mobile-cellular networks and service is expanding rapidly

Electric motors of increasing efficiency were constructed throughout the 19th century, but commercial exploitation of electric motors on a large scale required efficient electrical generators and electrical distribution networks.

This single FCC action would render all Armstrong-era FM receivers useless within a short time as stations were moved to the new band, while it also protected both RCA's AM-radio stronghold and that of the other major competing networks, CBS, ABC and Mutual.

The raids were considered a success since the major goal of destroying any rebel alliance networks was completed.

Highest in the hierarchy were triangulation networks.

These were densified into networks of traverses ( polygons ), into which local mapping surveying measurements, usually with measuring tape, corner prism and the familiar red and white poles, are tied.

Game shows were the lowest priority of television networks and frequently were rotated out every thirteen weeks if they were unsuccessful.

In 1980 they appeared in the short-lived American variety show The Big Show ; the two were glad the show did not last as they objected to the use of canned laughter by the American networks.

To maintain network performance, networks may apply traffic policing to virtual circuits to limit them to their traffic contracts at the entry points to the network, i. e. the User – network interfaces ( UNIs ) and Network-to-network interfaces ( NNIs ): Usage / Network Parameter Control ( UPC and NPC ).

Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility, who operated AMPS networks in Canada, announced that they would observe the same timetable as outlined by the FCC in the United States, and as a result would not begin to dismantle their AMPS networks until after February 2008.

Both Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility had announced that they would observe the same shutdown guidelines as in the United States, and decommissioned their AMPS networks in 2008.

As an architect or engineer becomes more concerned with the disadvantages of transportation networks, and dependence on distant resources, their designs tend to include more autonomous elements.

Television stations and networks, particularly in North America, traditionally begin their regular seasons in autumn, with new series and new episodes of existing series debuting mostly during late September ( series that debut outside the fall season are usually known as midseason replacements ).

Other ISPs are expanding their broadband networks beyond Minsk as well.

The archaeological sites of Birka and Hovgården, on the neighbouring island of Adelsö, make up an archaeological complex which illustrates the elaborate trading networks of Viking Scandinavia and their influence on the subsequent history of Europe.

The " inert " or noble chemical elements ( helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon ) are composed of lone atoms as their smallest discrete unit, but the other isolated chemical elements consist of either molecules or networks of atoms bonded to each other in some way.

) Viewers via home antenna who receive both American and Canadian networks on their personal sets are not affected by sim-sub.

The goal of this policy is to create a market in which Canadian networks can realize revenue through advertising sales in spite of their inability to match the rates that the much larger American networks can afford to pay for syndicated programming.

He points to a myriad of examples of television networks who have managed to dominate their domestic markets and that domestic programs generally top the ratings.

Client / server networks with their additional capacities have a higher initial setup cost for networking than peer to peer networks.

" With the progress in technology in the areas of processors, computer memory, computer storage and computer networks, the sizes, capabilities, and performance of databases and their respective DBMSs have grown in orders of magnitudes.

The public access application did not succeed, since public cellular networks rapidly out-competed DECT by coupling their ubiquitous coverage with large increases in capacity and continuously falling costs.

Communication providers, convinced that the future economy would require ubiquitous broadband access, went deeply into debt to improve their networks with high-speed equipment and fiber optic cables.

In a matter of decades after their creation, electrical telegraph networks permitted people and commerce to almost instantly transmit messages across both continents and oceans, with widespread social and economic impacts.

Fungi can transfer carbon and nitrogen through their hyphal networks and thus, unlike bacteria, are not dependent solely on locally available resources.

However, as social networks become more and more closely connected to people and their real life, the more harsh words may be consider defamation of the person.

For example, Ireland currently has 4 licenced operators with their own networks despite a smaller and sparser population than France's making improved coverage less economically rewarding.

Mangroves along the shore make shrimp and shellfish particularly abundant by providing safe and abundant breeding areas amid their extensive networks of underwater roots.

Additionally, many free to use and even paid for WLAN networks do packet injection for serving their own ads on webpages or just for pranks, however this can be exploited maliciously e. g. by injecting malware and spying on users.
