Abstract

This paper summarizes Computer Inquiries I, II, and III, describes comparably efficient interconnection (CEI) and open network architecture (ONA) requirements set forth in Computer III, and presents some basic service elements (BSEs). The development of ONA plans involves a complex interplay between a number of independent interests--the carriers, the equipment manufacturers, new entrepreneurs, regulators, and users, including the Department of Defense. This complex process, being conducted in regional and national forums, is a challenging and important one. Ultimately, it will affect the entire telecommunications environrnent. Participation in the ONA process by the Department of Defense is encouraged.
