Chapter 9 Questions True/False Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false. 1. Although some cybercafés charge a per-hour or per-minute fee, most provide free Internet access. 2. The last and least used application of GPS (global positioning system) technology is to assist people with determining where they are located. 3. An intranet essentially is a small version of the Internet that exists within an organization. 4. With TCP/IP, each packet contains data as well as the recipient (destination), origin (sender), and the sequence information used to reassemble the data at the destination. 5. Nearly the entire telephone network today uses analog technology, with the exception of the final link from the local telephone company to a home, which is digital. 6. Dedicated lines can be either analog or digital. 7. A dial-up modem usually is in the form of an adapter card that is inserted in an expansion slot on a computer’s motherboard. 8. To prevent unauthorized users from accessing files and computers, many routers are protected by built-in firewalls. 9. Home networking saves the home user money and provides many conveniences. 10. One of the more widely used transmission media for network cabling and telephone systems is twisted-pair cable. 11. Fiber-optic cable is cheaper than twisted-pair or coaxial, but it is easier to install and modify. 12. Infrared (IR) is a wireless transmission medium that sends signals using infrared light waves. 13. With satellite Internet connections, uplink transmissions usually are faster than downlink transmissions.
