Mobile technologies and services development impact on mobile internet usage in Latvia

Abstract: Technology development and internet have overall changed communication processes. Mobile internet by combining two most actual nowadays innovations – internet and mobile telephone – has become one of the most popular mobile services for customers worldwide. In Latvian mobile services market mobile internet is still new service. There have been no studies about tendency of mobile internet prevalence and about factors that impacts mobile internet acceptance and usage in Latvia. This paper discusses possibilities to determine instant level of mobile internet use and acceptance.

Software implementation of IPv4 to IPv6 migration

Abstract: Change is necessary to update for IPV6 and evolution in Internet is inevitable, ever since the Internet was born. Internet protocols kept on improving and changing dramatically. They expose new challenges and new features. It's high time that our Internet address have to be upgraded as heap of thing around us got upgraded. Internet protocol is currently version 4 and is being upgraded to 6. Internet was once very inaccessible and limited to very few mass, but today it's a primary quill and basic need. Every user has connectivity through various range of devices such as Laptop's, tablet's, desktop's and IOT (Internet of Things). A few decades ago one IP per user was sufficient but now a user with a range of devices needs more than 8 IP's on average. This resulted in exhausting IP at IANA (Internet Assigned Number Authority) and forcing it to update and upgrade to a better version of protocol. Although the new version looks promising, it has to overcome certain challenges of compatibility. IPV6 is similar to IPV4 but it has very significant features it's easy to adopt, but highly irritating for transition. Although for quite a few years many transition techniques are introduced but not all could actually bring a change due to the lack of flexibility and the amount of difficulty involved. This approach not only aid in retaining the present good practices but also supplies the goodies of modern version unless the transition is complete. Nonetheless, even after transition we will have to be able to have the previous generation utilities still being legitimate and not being void. Certain features such as Auto-configuration of IPV6 will build users to mislead ISP and access higher volumes of data at greater than usual speeds they're allotted. Specific blocked sites may be unblocked by connecting to any IP over the globe as a result resulting a deep flaw within the grounds of security. Security is a most important trouble over Internet, because of above flaws very less are ready to adopt this latest IP variant. This paper deals with IPV6 transition in much huge sense, permitting ISP's to keep the existing security principles still valid making internet a long way safer than ever before. This paper presents a software solution to help the transition, it re-addresses the basic needs and finally establishes a feasible solution which still maintains the applicability and maintainability of both systems until the last device upgrades to ipv6 with no compromise to any existing applications or new applications to come. The solution proposed is for ISP's and the backbone providers of internet and not for individual users.

Method for routing electronic information to a person using internet protocols

Abstract: The present invention, in accordance with one embodiment, is directed to a method for routing electronic information to a person using personal internet protocols, instead of to a device using device internet protocols as performed by systems of the prior art. By routing electronic information to a person, the present invention enables electronic information to be transmitted to a device which is known to be in close proximity to the intended recipient. According to one embodiment, the method of the present invention comprises the step of receiving, at a home agent, electronic information addressed to a personal internet protocol address. The home agent forwards the electronic information to a foreign agent, which is coupled to the home agent via Internet. The foreign agent forwards the electronic information to a personal internet protocol agent, which is associated with the personal internet protocol address. The personal internet protocol agent, which may be a computer terminal, telephone, fax machine, set-top box, etc., is associated with the personal internet protocol address upon the user registering with the personal internet protocol agent. The personal internet protocol agent provides the electronic information to a user associated with the personal internet protocol address. Thus, a user may register, by entering his personal internet protocol address with a first personal internet protocol agent, to receive information via Internet at that personal internet protocol agent. When the user leaves the proximity of the personal internet protocol agent, the user may register, by entering his personal internet protocol address with a second personal internet protocol agent, to continue receiving information via Internet at the second personal internet protocol agent.
