Abstract

The paper presents some results of the first step of multimedia service introduction on broadcast networks in Russia. A cable network evolution strategy toward a full service network (FSN) on the basis of service requirements is proposed as a possible path of transition to broadband ISDN for Russia using the St. Petersburg region´s example. Network topologies are analysed and future investigations are reviewed. Some aspects of the FSN creation programme for St. Petersburg and multimedia introduction in Russia are also presented
