Increasing the availability of Wireless Internet Service Providers is necessary to meet the requirements of local towns and cities, municipalities, and rural consumers. As a part of bridging the digital divide and ensuring citizens have access to affordable, reliable, and secure high-speed broadband, it has become apparent that there is a need to build an ISP, primarily a WISP, given the need for flexibility in the network. Approximately 98% of North Dakota can receive 10 Mbps of the Internet through a wired or wireless connection. However, with the demand and need for more bandwidth and availability, the time to enter the market to provide a better solution to the Internet is now.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\"><span>As a new WISP, it has been decided to provide established services to the rural area of North Dakota just outside of Bismarck. As a startup, it has been agreed to start small and provide a service area of 1,500 square miles surrounding the I-94 corridor between Menoken, ND and Elridge, ND. It is in the works to double or even triple the service area in the future. To niche your company high above the competitors, you will provide high-speed services at and above the 10 Mbps customers can receive currently, at a competitive rate.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\"><span>The WISP network you design should include high-speed, high-performance, and secure Internet connection to the customers in the area. Your bandwidth should handle Internet streaming, gaming, and the everyday demands consumers need in our ever-changing digital world, as well as the change into providing more value-added service to boost current subscriptions and entice new customers to join. In addition to constructing the WISP infrastructure, you have built a 2,000-square-foot office building and a 2,000-square-foot metal workshop. Along with developing your ISP wireless network, you must set up a small-office network for your company. Starting with two sales representatives, two marketing representatives, four support agents, two billing\/bookkeeping agents, a CEO in the office, and twelve installation team members. Each installation team will be in one truck in pairs of 2. This office and workshop will need a small network with workstations and office equipment to conduct business and support your WISP company customers, and there is a plan to expand the primary office network to remote workers and additional offices as the company grows.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\"><span>Like any good ISP, you must provide tiered bandwidth services for your customers. The CEO has decided to provide four tiers of service. 1st tier is bandwidth well providing basic internet\/email surfing for the residential client, 2nd tier bandwidth provides for Internet streaming for two devices, along with what the 1st tier provides. 3rd tier is for larger families and supports 4K Internet streaming and includes the tier 1 and 2 features. The 4th tier is the maximum bandwidth your network infrastructure can provide customers without crippling your service provider network while accounting for the customer's needs. In addition to providing internet service, you will supply each customer with an email address and other value-added services as the company progresses.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"x-line e1118-e40 mv2-c\"\/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-container max width e1118-e41 mv2-8 mv2-9\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e1118-e42 mv2-b\"><h2  class=\"h-custom-headline h2\" ><span>DIGITAL COMMUNICATION &amp; DESIGN <\/span><\/h2><div  class=\"x-accordion\" ><div  class=\"x-accordion-group\" ><div class=\"x-accordion-heading\"><a id=\"tab-69eb70d588e65\" class=\"x-accordion-toggle collapsed\" role=\"tab\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse-b\" data-x-toggleable=\"69eb70d588e65\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-69eb70d588e65\"><i class='x-framework-icon x-shortcode-accordion-icon' data-x-icon-s='&#x2b;' aria-hidden=true><\/i><span>(410) GRAPHIC DESIGN PROMOTION:<\/span><\/a><\/div><div id=\"panel-69eb70d588e65\" class=\"x-accordion-body x-collapsed\" role=\"tabpanel\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" data-x-toggleable=\"69eb70d588e65\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-69eb70d588e65\"><div class=\"x-accordion-inner\"><p><span><strong>Topic: <\/strong>A new dog food company called Champion Dog Food has contacted you to design all of the brand images and packaging for their line of dog food.

She has an active YouTube channel with about 85 million subscribers. She utilizes the channel to make videos about the perks and cons of living in New York City, as well as travel for both those who live within the city and those who plan to visit the city. Her YouTube channel is named Jess In NYC, and her subscribers help her earn about $12,000 (gross) a month. Her main income for the business comes from ad revenue generated by her subscribers and paid by YouTube. Jessica is currently a one-woman show, and spends the majority of her day filming, editing, and posting to her YouTube channel. She also tries to carve out at least half an hour each day responding to subscriber emails and comments on her posts. Due to the fact her business has no employees, her expenses are relatively low for the business. She currently pays herself a salary of $100,000, leaving the extra to reinvest into the business; however, she has only been doing this for about one year. Jessica is wanting to expand her business but is unsure of what ways would be most successful and\/or cost effective. Jessica is also interested in bringing on some additional employees to aid in the support and growth of her business. Jessica\u2019s primary focus is creating additional value for subscribers while maximizing revenue and growth for the business. Jessica is concerned about the potential time expanding the business would cause and needs solutions that provide growth to the business while prioritizing her time and effort.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\">One key fear Jessica has when attempting to grow the business is causing subscribers to feel as though she is only catering to the revenue customers bring in, instead of seeing them as a part of the community she has built around her channel. Jessica wants to find ways to grow the business and increase revenue in ways that prioritize customer\/subscriber engagement. Create a presentation detailing the ways that Jessica can grow her business without alienating customers. Share insights to current industry trends, financial implications, and human resources requirements.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"x-accordion-group\" ><div class=\"x-accordion-heading\"><a id=\"tab-69eb70d588fd2\" class=\"x-accordion-toggle collapsed\" role=\"tab\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse-b\" data-x-toggleable=\"69eb70d588fd2\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-69eb70d588fd2\"><i class='x-framework-icon x-shortcode-accordion-icon' data-x-icon-s='&#x2b;' aria-hidden=true><\/i><span>(515) INTERVIEW SKILLS<\/span><\/a><\/div><div id=\"panel-69eb70d588fd2\" class=\"x-accordion-body x-collapsed\" role=\"tabpanel\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" data-x-toggleable=\"69eb70d588fd2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-69eb70d588fd2\"><div class=\"x-accordion-inner\"><span>Contestant will indicate on his\/her r\u00e9sum\u00e9 the position for which he\/she is applying.
