Earthquake in Haiti and Telecommunication Network Rebuild
The earthquake that devastated Haiti also destroyed the nation’s feeble network for phones and Internet service. Except for cellphones, the population was largely cut off from communication. But out of the rubble. one U. S. wireless industry pioneer sees opportunity. John Stanton, founder of Voice Stream and former chief executive of T-Mobile U. S. . wants the Haitian government to forget about rebuilding its copper wire communications network. Instead, he thinks Haiti should go mobile. " Necessity is the mother of invention," Stanton said.
In a keynote speech prepared for delivery at the wireless industry’s CTIA trade show Wednesday in Las Vegas, Stanton called for the Haitian government to create an all-wireless nation with more robust networks for the population of nearly 10 million and to build an economy centered on mobile technology. "By deploying state-of-the-art wireless systems, we enable less-developed countries to leapfrog older technologies, and those systems become the foundation for a new economy," Stanton said.
Stanton is asking Haiti to release more spcctrums for commercial carriers to get more people to text and use their phones for commerce, banking and other daily needs. He pledged that his company, Trilogy, would commit up to $ 100 million to expand its network there. Trilogy owns Haiti’s second-largest cellphone company, Voila. The three cellphone providers there-voila. Digicel and Haitel — compete vigorously for customers who have come to rely on cellphones even more after the earthquake. But only about 30 percent of the population has one.
Accepting the proposal would be a risky bet for the government, experts say, because fat fiber networks would still be needed to serve hospitals, schools and government buildings. "This could be a good strategy for as long as 20 years even, but I just don’t see it as an ultimate strategy because at a certain point you need fixed wire for services that require more bandwidth," said Robert Atkinson, president of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation.
But as the country begins to reconstruct homes, government buildings and other key infrastructure, some experts say the nation faces a blank canvas of opportunity. And building a more robust cellphone network could also be thefastest way to get the island nation connected. "Haiti is very mountainous and the people are very fond of their cellphones," said Raymond Joseph. Haiti’s ambassador to the United States. "In that sense, a wireless system would just be leaping over all sorts of impediments to connect the whole country. "
According to the passage, Robert Atkinson holds the view that______.
选项
A、the Haitian government will accept Stanton’s proposal
B、the fixed wire is still a better choice for some services
C、the wireless system is good to connect the whole country
D、the wireless system seems to be a kind of bandwidth waste
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。根据题干关键词Robert Atkinson定位到第四段。该段第二句中RobertAtkinson认为at a certain point you need fixed wire for services that require more bandwidth(在某一特定范围内需要固定线路服务以满足更多的带宽需求),由此可推知[B]含义与之相符,故为正确答案。该段第二句提及他认为I just don’t see it as an ultimate strategy,同时他并未提及海地政府会接纳Stanton的建议.故排除[A];由第五段末句可知,[C]是Raymond Joseph的观点,而非Robert Atkinson的主张,故排除;第四段第二句只是提及他认为一些服务需要更多的宽带,并未提及他认为无线系统浪费宽带,故排除[D]。
