SITA Advanced Telecommunications Services

Abstract

As is now widely known, the world of telecommunications is undergoing a profound mutation and accelerated development with the emergence and introduction of new telecommunications services in all aspects of human and systems communications. The progressive introduction of services, such as Videotex, Teletex, Telefax, Teleconferencing and Videoconferencing in the business, social and individual environment, and the worldwide availability of low cost data communication made possible by the international deployment of data networks and satellite systems, are likely to induce lasting changes in many aspects of human activities, and to have an impact as important in the future as the introduction of computers thirty years ago.
