Telecommunications in Venezuela

Telecommunications in Venezuela is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Telecommunications in Venezuela rather than just read about it. In short: In Venezuela the first law on telecommunications was approved in 1940. It identified the responsibility of the state in regard to telephone and other telecommunication systems, including radio and television services.

Reference excerpt

In Venezuela the first law on telecommunications was approved in 1940. It identified the responsibility of the state in regard to telephone and other telecommunication systems, including radio and television services. Telephones – main lines in use: 7.332 million (2011) Telephones – mobile cellular: 28,782,000 (2011) Telephone system: modern and expanding domestic: domestic satellite system with 3 earth stations; recent substantial improvement in telephone service in rural areas; substantial increase in digitalization of exchanges and trunk lines; installation of a national interurban fibre-optic network capable of digital multimedia services; combined fixed and mobile-cellular telephone subscribership 130 per 100 persons. international: country code – 58; submarine cable systems provide connectivity to the Caribbean, Central and South America, and US; satellite earth stations – 1 Intelsat (Atlantic Ocean) and 1 PanAmSat; participating with Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia in the construction of an international fiber-optic network; constructing submarine cable to provide connectivity to Cuba

Broadcast media The government of Venezuela supervises a mixture of state-run and private broadcast media; 1 state-run TV network, 4 privately owned TV networks, a privately owned news channel with limited national coverage, and a government-backed Pan-American channel. A state-run radio network includes 65 new stations and roughly another 30 stations targeted at specific audiences. A state-sponsored community broadcasters include 244 radio stations and 36 TV stations. The number of private broadcast radio stations have been declining, but many remain in operation.

Internet

Internet Hosts: 1.016 million (2012) Internet Users: 8.918 million (2009) Country code (Top level domain): VE Venezuela has many Internet service providers, although the market is dominated by the now state-owned CANTV.net which offers ADSL and Dialup services. Broadband access Venezuela is provided through ADSL, Cable, Satellite, EDGE, Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO), Wi-Fi Hotspots and more recently WiMax. Prices vary from US$45 to $60 per month for basic broadband plans. Some of the most important providers are:

CANTV.net – ADSL and Wi-Fi hotspots and also EV-DO through the Movilnet brand. Intercable – Cable and Wi-Fi Hotspots Movistar – Cable, WLL, EV-DO, UMTS, HSDPA, and LTE Movilmax – WiMax (Only available in Caracas) Digitel – GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, and LTE

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Telecommunications in Venezuela

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Telecommunications in Venezuela claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Telecommunications in Venezuela before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Telecommunications in Venezuela ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Telecommunications in Venezuela

In research: Telecommunications in Venezuela appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Telecommunications in Venezuela in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Telecommunications in Venezuela is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Communications in Venezuela, Telecommunications in South America by country, Telecommunications in Venezuela, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Telecommunications in Venezuela outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
