Telecommunications services in the next decade

In this paper, the authors present their views concerning what types of telecommunications services are likely to come into existence or become widespread during the next decade. The paper is organized in terms of fundamental customer needs which those services should help to satisfy. In particular, the following categories of needs are considered: i) Information Productivity, ii) Cost-Effectiveness and Control, iii) Telemarketing, iv) Media and Protocol Conversion, v) Entertainment, and vi) Telecommunications Ubiquity. Throughout the paper, the special role of ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is highlighted. It is pointed out that ISDN provides generic capabilities--a standardized digital interface, wider bandwidth, and powerful, out-of-band signaling and control--which facilitate the construction of a wide variety of new services. Finally, after discussing many potential new services in detail, the authors summarize some of the major trends which seem certain to characterize the changing face of telecommunications services in the next decade. Among these are: wider bandwidth, more data and digitization, multimedia capability, services "on demand," and internationalization. The authors also briefly discuss network-based versus CPE-based services and the likely roles of public versus private networks.

Telecommunications

The telecommunications blueprint for a single Europe after 1992 is examined. This `green paper' is an ambitious three-year-old document in which the European Community's Commission calls for a Western-Europe-wide telecommunications infrastructure based on the integrated-services digital network (ISDN) and other digital communication links. The progress that has been made toward this goal is assessed, showing that progress toward opening national markets and establishing an infrastructure varies greatly from country to country. The highly variable quality of network services throughout Europe presents a further obstacle to unification. Nevertheless, the national segments of a trans-European ISDN system are beginning to emerge, and work on the specific technologies, standards, and regulations for cross-border telecommunications systems are advancing     

Telecommunications

The author presents a technological overview of the telecommunications field covering the topics of: European telecommunication authorities privatisation; mobile communications in Asia; fibre optic amplifiers; and cable TV integration with wireless technology     

Telecommunications in Lithuania

According to Lithuania's Master Plan, further development of the country's telecommunications infrastructure must be concentrated on modern digital technology, most of it produced in Western countries. The Master Plan is divided into three parts. First, it is a short term plan that covers the development of telecommunication systems with high priority, and covers the period through the end of 1997. Another goal stated in the Master Plan is to have 48 main lines per 100 inhabitants by the year 2005. In addition, the Ministry decided to issue one license for operating a national paging network in 1995. This network must cover most of Lithuania. The number of licenses for local paging networks will not be limited     

Telecommunications in Indonesia

The telecommunications in Indonesia is reviewed with emphasis on transmission and switching networks. It is recognized that due to the geographical configuration of Indonesia, problems are created in the field of telecommunication that require special transmission consideration. The existing Perumtel's Transmission Network and Domestic Satellite Project Palapa 1 are discussed. The future expansion programs in transmission and switching are also briefly reviewed.

Telecommunications in Brazil

Article 21, paragraph XI of the Brazilian Federal Constitution determines that telecommunication services must be exploited through a government controlled monopoly. Accordingly, all public telecommunication services are exploited by the Brazilian Telecommunications Company (Telebras). Telebras is the holding company of the so-called Sistema Telebras (Telebras System) consisting of 27 state based operating companies (OCs) and of EMBRATEL (Brazilian Telecom Enterprise), in charge of interstate connections and of the international gateway. The Federal law of 1972 that created Telebras also granted it power to exploit the services through its controlled or associate companies. Telebras owns over 97 percent of all telephone lines in the country. The remaining 3 percent are exploited by a private company (an exception foreseen in the Constitution) and two municipal companies. The newly inaugurated federal administration has submitted to the Congress a revised institutional model for the country, which includes the breakup of the state monopoly in telecommunications. The article discusses particularities regarding the future trends of the new approach to be enforced for the exploitation of telecommunication services and technology, and the evolution of the country's telecommunication networks     

Telecommunications in Russia

National telecommunications has undergone significant changes. Some of these changes and the main principles of the national telecommunications system are described. First the milestones of the previous years are considered. Afterward, the structure of the public switched telephone network (PSTN), the basis of national telecommunications, is presented. We then deal with statistics and forecasting. Two tables present the development of the main telecommunication networks. A third table allows us to compare telecommunications development in the republics of the former USSR. Three figures show the forecasts of the main indexes of future telecommunications. General evolution tendencies inherent in Russian telecommunications are described next, including new technologies and services. One example related to modern equipment application is described. Finally, we deal with aspects of Russian telecommunications liberalization
