NORTHERN TELECOM'S PLAN TO CHILL AT&T'S NEW
CSDC, Data Communications, March 1984, p. 45.
Northern Telecom Inc. (NTI) has developed a
service similar to AT&T's Circuit Switched
Digital Capacity (CSDC) and, like AT&T, wants
to offer it through the BOCs. AT&T had recently
announced its plans to offer the first
Intergrated Services Digital Network-like
service in the U.S. via the BOCs, but NTI
hopes to beat AT&T to the market.  NTI's new
capability, to be available to BOCs that
purchase its local telco switch, the DMS-100,
will permit the BOCs to offer users a dial-up
full-duplex 56-kbit/s digital data service
using the same single-wire-pair local loop that
carries voice traffic.  NTI's competitive edge
may be that it intends to offer compatible
features on its private PBX products.
