CAST Roundtable Schedule for Autumn Quarter, 1992:

CAST, the Center for Advanced Study in Telecommunications, at The Ohio
State University, holds Roundtables every other week during the school
year for informal presentations and discussions.  If you are planning
to be in Columbus for one of these dates, please join us.

CAST Roundtables are every other Wednesday from 4:30 to 6 in Room 115
of the Ohio Legal Center, 33 West 11th Avenue.

 -- October 7 - John Dimmick, Department of Communication, OSU, on
"Telephone gratification and personal telephone networks." Professor
Dimmick will report on the results of two studies, one in Columbus and
one in Ohio.  Using the data from these studies, he (1) measured the
gratifications or utilities that underlie telephone use and (2)
developed a typology of personal telephone networks.

 -- October 21 - Stephen Williams (from Dayton) on his new company
that is working to provide turn-key Local Internet Gateway (LIG)
access systems for commercial and private use.

 -- November 4 - Robin Snyder on MetroComm, a local bypass operator
in Columbus. 

 -- November 18 - John Fulton on Huntington Bank's Smartphone. 

 -- December 2 - David Landsbergen (Department of Public Policy and
Management, OSU) on economic development and telecommunications. 

Parking is available in the parking garage just north of the Ohio
Union on N. High St.  From the garage, walk south on High Street (past
