  • Telecommunications Infrastructure for Electronic Delivery 3
    Telecommunications Infrastructure for Electronic Delivery 3 SUMMARY The telecommunications infrastructure is vitally important to electronic delivery of Federal services because most of these services must, at some point, traverse the infrastructure. This infrastructure includes, among other components, the Federal Government’s long-distance telecommunications program (known as FTS2000 and operated under contract with commercial vendors), and computer networks such as the Internet. The tele- communications infrastructure can facilitate or inhibit many op- portunities in electronic service delivery. The role of the telecommunications infrastructure in electronic service delivery has not been defined, however. OTA identified four areas that warrant attention in clarifying the role of telecommunications. First, Congress and the administration could review and update the mission of FTS2000 and its follow-on contract in the context of electronic service delivery. The overall perform- ance of FTS2000 shows significant improvement over the pre- vious system, at least for basic telephone service. FTS2000 warrants continual review and monitoring, however, to assure that it is the best program to manage Federal telecommunications into the next century when electronic delivery of Federal services likely will be commonplace. Further studies and experiments are needed to properly evaluate the benefits and costs of FTS2000 follow-on options from the perspective of different sized agencies (small to large), diverse Federal programs and recipients, and the government as a whole. Planning for the follow-on contract to FTS2000 could consider new or revised contracting arrangements that were not feasible when FTS2000 was conceived. An “overlapping vendor” ap- proach to contracting, as one example, may provide a “win-win” 57 58 I Making Government Work situation for all parties and eliminate future de- national infrastructure will be much stronger if bates about mandatory use and service upgrades.

Every-one has wrestled with misunderstandings and differing interpretations. There is no way around it: interpersonal communication is challenging, and the globalization of business makes it more so. As project teams become more geo- graphically dispersed, they need technologies that facilitate effective collabora- tion. These technologies should break down distance barriers, overcoming tradi- tional limitations with new ways to share information and enhance discussions, ultimately leading to better decisions and business growth. That’s why business- es need IP communications. IP communications encompasses IP telephony, video telephony, unified messaging and voice mail, IP video- and audio-conferencing, customer contact solutions, voice gateways and applications, security solutions, and network management. It exemplifies the systemic approach inherent in intelligent networking. “Where the network has always provided con- nectivity, now it also solves business problems,” says Rob Redford, vice president of Product and Technology Marketing at Cisco. “With intelligent networking, the network, applica- tions, and other components interact in a systemic way—the right function finds the right place in the system.

  • Business Mopera IP Centrex Service System
    644_s[4-10].ps/3.3 07.3.20 2:31 PM ページ 4 Business mopera IP Centrex Service System Noboru Matoba, Bunpei Yatsu, Terutaka Toyota and Shigeo Tanimoto A system has been developed which uses the N900iL dual FOMA/wireless LAN mobile terminal to provide an IP Centrex service for communication within the office via a wireless LAN, and outside the office via FOMA network. 1. Introduction A recently introduced business mopera IP Centrex service is expected to increase the number of user and expand usage. The service is based on a private solution for corporate application, and uses the N900iL dual FOMA/wireless LAN mobile termi- nal. Typical examples of private solutions for corporate applica- tion previously developed by DoCoMo include the linkage of user-owned Private Branch eXchanges (PBXs) and PHS termi- nals, and the ‘PASSAGE DUPLE’ IP phone system combining the N900iL terminal, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)*1 server, and a wireless LAN system. Both solutions require installation of a PBX or IP-PBX at the user site to provide a solution that can be customized to individual user requirements, but on the other hand, are limited to comparatively large-scale corporate use due to high initial installation costs. Conversely, the business mopera IP Centrex service installs the IP-PBX in the DoCoMo network rather than at the user site, and concentrates multiple users efficiently into a single Centrex system, providing such services as calls on both internal and external lines, and a variety of additional functions. Initial installation costs are therefore reduced, thereby permitting an expansion of target users (including small and medium-sized corporations (Figure 1).

A report is submitted herewith. The purpose of the audit was to determine the adequacy of procedures and controls, the level of compliance with those procedures and controls, the existence and types, and the associated cost of the telephone lines utilized by Wicomico County. IA conducted the audit with due professional care, and IA planned and performed the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the current Telecommunications System practices are in compliance with applicable policies and procedures and whether those policies and procedures are adequate to obtain an acceptable level of control. The audit revealed a cumbersome telecommunications system with limited checks and balances in place implemented by the administrators of the telecommunications system along with an adequate level of internal control. Adequate internal control indicates that a number of findings, some of which are significant, have been made. Where action is in progress to address these findings, and other issues known to management, these actions are at too early a stage to allow for a satisfactory opinion. IA identifies several findings in subsequent sections of this report that bear discussion.

  • Bell Laboratories Record Tomer Wishes
    THE PICTURE OF THE FUTURE The Bell System is about to add PICTURE- PHONE® service to the many services it now of- fers customers. A major trial of a Picturephone system is presently under way, and commercial service is scheduled for mid 1970. Because Pic- turephone service is a large undertaking that will have a profound effect on communications, the RECORD is pleased to be able to present this special issue describing the new system for our readers. Special issues have become an important part of the RECORD's continuing story of science and technology at Bell Labs. The first one, in June 1958, dealt with the transistor and marked the tenth anniversary of its invention at Bell Labs. Since then there have been special issues on the TELSTAR® project, No. 1 Ess, and integrated elec- tronics. In addition, there have been single-topic issues devoted to the N-3 and L-4 carrier trans- mission systems. We hope to continue to present such special issues from time to time as a way of highlighting subjects of special importance.
