Abstract
We forsee gradual increase in telephone requirements based on increased agency missions and new agency needs. Perhaps calling volume during fiscal year 1967 rising to 50,000,000 calls per year. Greater usage of this voice network during night periods for various transmission requirements. Expansion of the ARS to provide more effective data communications with a subsequent reduction in the number of computers the US Government requires. Establishment of central Government data banks with access by agencies to be provided by the ARS. The utilization of simulation techniques to determine network configurations will be implemented. These are the near future changes. Eventually, we forsee the utilization of satellites for domestic emergency and broadband communications, the expansion of the FTS to overseas locations where such expansion can result in better service at reduced costs. The mission of the US Federal Telecommunications System (FTS) is to provide Government communications on a day-to-day basis and to have the capability of meeting the emergency requirements whether the result of natural causes or man made.
