Foil 23 Possible Future Communications Technology
-- A PacBell Strategy

From REU Presentation -- An Overview of NPAC REU Seminar -- June 8,95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * Critical Information in IMAGE
In California, Pacbell announced in November 93 that it will use ATM (optical fibre) as a trunk information line and then use (existing) cable to reach groups of 500 customers
ATM will support very high speeds measured in endless gigabits/sec., but actually traffic is a lot of little messages (as on our vehicle highways)
A Bandwidth of N gigabits will be ~ 100N messages at 10 megabits/sec.
