Abstract
Significant trends and events in data communications during the past year are highlighted. The first end-to-end public frame relay service was deployed. Legislation establishing an ultragigabit-per-second National Research and Education Network (NREN) was passed. A networking standard called Fiber Distributed Data Interchange II (FDDI-II), aimed at helping to bring about multimedia transmission, was proposed. Mergers, alliances, and joint ventures flourished, as data communications and telecommunications continued to merge
