Abstract :
The authors explore the prospects of a relatively rapid evolution to public broadband data services. They define some guidelines for the support of broadband services and survey some network architectures that could support those services, with an emphasis on near-term deployability. They suggest how this base capability can evolve further to adapt to changing requirements.<>
