  • Abstract
    The challenges facing corporations attempting to reach rapidly expanding global markets are discussed. It is argued that to meet those challenges, corporations must address five major areas of networking: technical knowledge, network design and planning, country-by-country service requirements, network management operations, and network management interoperability. Each area is described, and the ways in which corporations currently achieve a certain level of network management support as a basic element of their long-distance service are reviewed.<>
