Discuss the history of the telecommunications industry and the technical components necessary for a telecommunications network to function, and critique several areas related to new communications systems, equipment, and networks. 2. Analyze how communications systems use common methods and protocols to prepare, package, transport, and interpret messages traveling across the medium. 3. Differentiate the three principle areas in communications: how voice information is switched across the network, how data information is routed across the network, and how signaling protocols are used to direct and navigate the information signals. 4. Explain the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model and describe how the network handles switching and routing devices. 5. Compare and contrast the three primary service providers in telecommunications; the telephone company, the cable television provider, and the wireless providers and evaluate various types of communications applications sold to end subscribers by the different service providers. 23.
