Making the right contacts

Article Abstract:

Getting the most out of personal computer networks starts with choosing the right networking option. The first decision a company has to make is to selectbetween a 'peer-to-peer' network and a network with a server. A main advantage of the former is that it is cheaper. However, because of the lack of a server, putting a number of PCs on this type of a network presents access, security and other related problems. A network with a server, on the other, is beneficial because it allows information to be shared by a large number of PC users. This can also be a disadvantage because the loss of one PC is felt by the entire organization. Companies are advised to base their selection of a network on the needs of their organizations. They should seek the advice of experts to avoid costly mistakes.

Government intervention is necessary to frame economic policies which regulators can manage. Regulators, however, are deemed accountable for managing the market, maintaining confidentiality, preventing accumulation of windfall profits by firms and overseeing healthy competition.
