ABSTRACT Sources of marketing information and services in the broad and rapidly growing field of data communications are listed in this guide. Most of the entries are concerned with communications and electronics equipment and services but their products and services are produced in a number of industries. The organizations are listed under the following categories: market research, trade and professional associations, trade publications, U. S. Government publications and data sources, major future users of data communications, foreign production and trade statistics, and product codes. The name, address, and a brief description is given for each entry.

This publication is intended as a guide to sources of marketing information and services in the broad and rapidly growing field of data communications. Most of the entries are concerned with communications and electronics equipment and services but their products and services are produced in a number of industries. While the Bureau of Domestic Commerce has listed all of the market studies, associations, and services in the specialized data communications field of which itis presently aware, there is no assurance that these listings are complete. Since the rapid growth and technological development of this new service will require periodic updating of this compilation, changes or omissions should be brought to the attention of the Communications-Electronics Division for inclusion in future revisions of this publication. This publication has been prepared by Randal K. Young of the Communications-Electronics Division of the Office of Business Research and Analysis, Bureau of Domestic Commerce.

Production and Trade Product Codes

Introduction

The following product code listsidentify data communication equipment by product codes in official publications. The product codes cover U.S. and foreign production and trade. It should be noted that a specific data communication piece of equipment may not be traceable by product code throughout, as product codes are not uniform in all publications. Each country's official publications will have to be consulted to determine if a specific type of Ingi-i;;:e is included. Further, it will be found that machines which have specific identification in the U. export vihase may be included in a "basket" class when imported into the United States. While the listings may not provide discrete data for each type olAluipn,,,.,nt throvhout, they will serve, nevertheless, as a useful tool for organizations interested in determining the production and trade of data communication equipment in the United States and abroad.
