What: Through my interviews, I shall have at least 2 people with lack of a bandwidth connection at home because of the price of the internet. Because having internet is so expensive and a poor economic situation these people might not have access to the internet or they might have access to barely afford a connection Since I was not in town this week, my 5 interviews are from the people of Miami, Florida. Interview #1 My first interview was a very interesting one. I happen to be at the mall and I saw a woman at the food court that I could interview. Since I was interviewing someone in a public location I had to introduce myself properly this 35-year-old woman. The first question I asked was if she has an internet connection at home. She told me that she was one and that it costs her around $80 a month. I asked her if she ever struggled at paying for internet services and she told me that she did. She told me that she is the mother of 3 children that solely depend on her....

Part 1 The United States has become a place in which having an internet connection is almost unbearable. The average american household is earning around $59,000 a year. This figure with a few more family members and some other bills to pay is not enough sometimes. Especially if someone has kids in school or has students loans to pay. Most american households are not willing to pay for an internet connection because they rather spend it on food for their children. College students also prefer to spend it in other necessities like books and supplies. This opportunity exists because cable companies are willing to make the maximum amount of profit they can. They can charge what they want for internet access. The problem of having no bandwidth at all is that in our society we use the internet for educational purposes all the time. When we have households or college students without internet access we are interrupting the education that these people need to receive to do something in li...

The opportunity I will be focusing on is the opportunity I talked about in my previous assignments. The opportunity I will be focusing on now is the bandwidth problems that we have in America. Many children in the country that go to school everyday are having problems with their education because they don’t have access to the internet. This happens because the internet is very expensive and because the quality of the most basic internet plan is very poor. Many college students also have bandwidth problems because of the cost of an internet connection. Many college students are forced to get to their nearest library to get their work done because they cannot work at home. The who: Cable companies in the United States The what: It is still 2019 and we still don’t have a cheap internet plan with a decent connection. The why: Cable companies are trying to maximize their profits no matter what it takes. Hypothesis: I believe that the government should create a program for co...

Regulatory Trend https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/news/stock-market-news-asia-europe-us-futures-drop-trump-tariffs-2019-8-1028411088 I believe this opportunity exists because our current government is in a trade war with China.  The U.S. announced that a new wave of $300 billion dollars in tariffs is apromoximating. I think our government is raising tariffs to China because they want to counterattack the supposed long term unfair trade practices that they had in the past. The problem with the U.S. raising tariffs to China is that the Chinese government is doing the same to the U.S. They are also raising tariffs to american products. The customers that are most affected by this are the people that are constantly making deals in China. This customers are losing money everyday because of the new tariffs that are put into place This opportunity would be difficult to exploit since it’s a war between two world powers. However, I think that this opportunity ...

1. I feel that internet companies are always trying to get the most money they can and at the same time provide a really bad service.  2. Having a fast internet connection is getting very costly. Despite the cost, many times that service is just not that good. Sometimes a person might be paying 70$ a month for an internet connection that doesn’t works properly. According to the NY Times, America's internet speed and affordability are falling behind ( https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/31/upshot/why-the-us-has-fallen-behind-in-internet-speed-and-affordability.html ).  This opportunity is something that we college students are suffering day to today. We tend to use internet everyday for school. Having a good internet connection now in days is a requirement if someone goes to college. There is no way around it. In my opinion, at least 50% of college students are having bandwidth problems at home. 3. My prototypical customers are college students of any gender a...
