Telecommunications Networks and Services

Chapter 3 in Restructuring Telecommunications, 1997, pp 13-34 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract At the present time, some 800 million people worldwide can communicate with one another via the telephone. However, while this is indeed a very long road, it is by no means a superhighway since it can only operate at low speed, and hence is suitable only for voice telephony and value-added network services (VANS) such as fax, electronic mail and other low-speed data services. Furthermore, it is largely based upon old-fashioned analogue rather than modern digital technology.
