Optical fibre cable is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, internet communication, and cable television signals, sometimes all on the same optical fibre. It permits digital data transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates than other forms of wired and wireless communications. 

Style information: APC spells fibre ending in &amp;quot;re&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;er&amp;quot;.

 <title>Convergence for development: Community radio as a digital inclusion strategy</title>
 <link>http://www.apc.org/en/pubs/issue/accessibility/all/convergence-development-community-radio-digital-in</link>
 <description> 	&lt;p&gt;The distinction between “new” and “old” technology is no longer significant in the current &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;/en/glossary/term/354&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;state: The set of official political institutions whose specific concern is with the social and political organisation and management, in the name of the common interest, within a determined territory. A state of sufficient size and complexity will have different layers or levels of government: local, regional and national.

Style information: Clearly distinguish between &amp;quot;state&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;government&amp;quot; as these terms are often used interchangeably, but do not mean the same thing (see also the entry for &amp;quot;government&amp;quot; in this glossary). As a general rule, &amp;quot;state&amp;quot; should not be capitalised.
