Internetworking: the key PCS success factor

Abstract

The personal communication service proposed aims at providing the most value to end users and service providers in a competitive marketplace. It was designed around a set of basic conditions-ubiquity, uniformity, community of interest, public addresses, price/value packaging-that have proven their worth with another highly successful communication service, POTS. The whole version is predicated on the concept of internetworking which will be made possible by a numbering scheme outgrown from the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and the network interfaces proposed.<>
