Abstract

A high-speed ATM network is required for multimedia services. NTT, the biggest carrier in Japan, is constructing a nationwide ATM network in two phases: the first phase, in early 1995, at 2.4Gb/s, and the final phase at 10Gb/s. The network: will be accessed by the 156Mb/s ATM User Network Interface (UNI), and thus will be the ideal infrastructure for advanced multimedia services. NTT has, however, found immaturity of multimedia services applications and telecommunication systems aspects, including rules and tariffs.
