Abstract :
The results of work done at AT&T Bell Lab. on broadband data and video applications that may be used over a public switched network like that of a telephone company are summarized. Data and video applications and network services associated with these applications are discussed. While data applications are initially seen as being provided to business, video applications are expected to be aimed at residential users. These applications are presented in separate sections. The author describes example applications for broadband data services that could be offered to business within the next five years, namely: distributed computing; data distribution; electronic mail; and data retrieval. The following video applications are also described: video telephony; video teleconferencing; two-way enhanced video services; one way video/image distribution; video/image database retrieval; and video electronic mail
