Teens Deck Their New Cell Phones with Christmas Ringtones
Valley Forge, PA (ContentDesk) December 13, 2005 -- Brittany Edwards, 13, of Villanova, Pennsylvania, likes Christmas music, but only a few weeks before Christmas. And, she doesnt like hearing it in stores or on TV commercials; she only likes it on her&cell phone.Brittany is like many teens that are as likely to enjoy listening to Christmas carols as much as they would enjoy listening to disco. That is, until her phone rings. Most of them (Christmas carols) are just plain boring. A ringtone makes it more upbeat.
No lyrics to listen to. So you get the whole tune out of it without the annoying words, said the Connecticut seventh grade student.Seasonal ringtones are part of a big business in an industry that is ringing up profits for many companies across the United States. Independent ringtone operators are earning $600 million per year from the sale of ringtones and some industry analysts estimate that carriers are deriving ten percent of their annual revenues from data applications, the biggest of which happens to be ringtones. Billboard magazine even ranks the Top Ringtones each week. Ringtone sales have far exceeded our expectations for this year, said Bret Dunlap, president of Monstertones (www.monstertones.com), a ringtone company that provides the newest type of ringtones, MP3 ringtones. Of all the holidays, Christmas ringtones and Halloween ringtones make the most sales, said Bob Bentz, CEO for one of the industry leaders, Ringingphone (www.ringingphone.com).
Our best selling Christmas ringtones are the upbeat ones like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. We also recently added the Mr. Grinch ringtone and that one is very popular too. Kelly Monagran, 14, of suburban St. Louis, agrees that Christmas carols are way uncool. The music in the stores starts way too early and you get sick of it by the time December comes around.
Plus, the songs like Silent Night are just too slow. Christmas ringtones are a different story. Say your phone rings when you are with your friends and its a Christmas ringtone. It puts you in the mood for Christmas. Kelly's classmate, Matt Norton, 15, likes Christmas ringtones more for their comedic effect on his friends. Sampson, a devoted hip-hop fan who usually has the latest Fabulous ringtone on his phone, says his friends are surprised when his phone rings and its the Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer ringtone. It cracks them up.
I put it on for like two weeks just before Christmas and then Ill put it on again in like June or something and then I really get some laughs. Anthony Wayne is the editor of the Cool Ringtones Blog.
He has 57 different ringtones on his Nokia.http://www.coolringtones.blogspot.com.

What is a Protocol? the communications between computers on a network
What is a Protocol?A protocol is a set of rules that governs the communications between computers on a network. These rules include guidelines that regulate the following characteristics of a network: access method, allowed physical topologies, types of cabling, and speed of data transfer. See the Topology and Cabling sections of this tutorial for more information.The most common protocols are: Ethernet LocalTalk Token Ring FDDI ATM EthernetThe Ethernet protocol is by far the most widely used.

If the network is clear, the computer will transmit. If some other node is already transmitting on the cable, the computer will wait and try again when the line is clear. Sometimes, two computers attempt to transmit at the same instant. When this happens a collision occurs. Each computer then...
