Long-Distance Carriers Can Learn From RBOC ISDN Plans

摘要

Telecommuting and home Internet access are making the residential market the next hot spot for ISDN. Industry players speculate that during the next three years, residential ISDN will explode. In fact, Pacific Telesis reports that almost 90 percent of its 5,000-per-month ISDN sales are not to businesses, but to consumers. "Analog services just don't cut it, the response time isn't good and the delay is too long. Telecommuting is driving the growth of residential ISDN. Clean air legislation and employees realizing they can get more hours out of the day have made people want to work at home," Tom Bayless, Pacific Telesis' director of ISDN services told The Report On AT&T.
