1. WHAT EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS CAN WE EXPECT IN The 70s AND BEYOND?
Abstract
Before attempting a projection into the future it is probably best to discuss the framework of the present telephone network for the benefit of those without a background in telecommunications. We can then examine the direction of current technological developments as a basis for predicting the structure of the communications network of the future. The trend in terminal instruments is worthy of special examination since this is the point at which Aslib, as users, interface with the network. Finally we examine the actions required in telecommunication research, and the role the information worker can play, in order to further the introduction of some of these future equipments, systems and services.
