Abstract:

The Public Telecommunications Financing Act of 1978 requires that the Corporation, in consultation with interested parties, create a 5-year Plan for the development of public telecommunications services, and that such a plan be updated annually by the Corporation. This document is the first product of an industry-wide planning process initiated by the Corporation in response to that charge. This plan represents CPB's vision of what the industry should and can achieve during the next five years (1981-1985) and CPB's assessment of the resources required to meet these goals.
