ISDN: a solution in search of a problem?

Tony Newstead

Telecommunications Policy, 1986, vol. 10, issue 1, 2-4

Abstract: This article discusses the measures being taken by telecommunications companies and policy makers to provide ISDN services. The movement towards ISDN has seemed a logical extension of the integrated digital switching and transmission network, providing improved flexibility and performance. However, the author argues that these expectations have yet to be verified in practice. He calls for further technical and economic studies before any premature dedication to ISDN is made.
