Abstract
In reviewing the growth and development of telecommunication services in New Zealand during the period 1978-87, the paper begins by examining the growth of digital technology and shows how the usual circuit switched services, as well as some of the traditional messaging-based systems such as telex and datex, have given way to the new digital services. The implementation of the Digital Data Network and packet switched related services which utilize this network, such as e-mail, videotex, Electronic Funds Transfer Point of Sale, intermational host connection, etc., have been significant mile-stones in telecommunications development in New Zealand. A number of other communication services such as the cellular radio and teletext are then briefly discussed, concluding with a look at Integrated Services Digital Network developments.
