NEW 56-KBIT/S SWITCHED DIGITAL SERVICE TO BE
OFFERED BY AT&T COMMUNICATIONS, Data
Communications, 11/83, p.53.  AT&T-C's new
56-kbit/s, switched, all-digital service will
be offered early in 1984. Called Circuit
Switched Digital Capability, or CSDC, the new
facility will use the same two-wire local loops
and exchanges as dial telephones. CSDC requires
some new customer premises equipment, and minor
modifications to local offices. Tariffs will be
filed with the NJ PUC by the end of the year,
and later, with the FCC. AT&T-C has not as yet
announced pricing and market plans.
