            Abstract : 
Efforts to enhance the ISDN (integrated-services digital network) concept in order to include all forseeable kinds of broadband applications are described. The current state of the discussion is reported in terms of broadband services, interface structures, and reference configurations. The work of several standardization organisations (CCITT, T1, CEPT) is also discussed
