Abstract
Breaking up the Bell System in a way that I regard as arbitrary would make it harder, rather than easier, to harness new technology to the service of users. At present, telecommunications switching and transmission, information processing, and communication are all going digital. Unified development of this common technology would be the most efficient path to follow, not fragmented development through an enforced diversity of sources.
