Awhile back someone asked how to get a copy of the five-year telecommunications plan for the Federal Government. I wrote back and told generally how to order it, but didn't have the literature at the office; I can't recall whether the reply ever appeared in the digest or not. In any case, I finally remembered to look it up while I was here at home. Here is the ordering information: Five-Year Plan for Meeting the Automatic Data Processing and Telecommunications Needs of the Federal Government: Volume 1 1986: 360 p.; ill. PrEx 2.12/4:986/v.1 S/N 041-001-00312-6 $17.00 Volume 2, Major Information Technology Systems Acquisition Plans of Federal Executive Agencies, 1986-1991 1986: 611 p. PrEx 2.12/4:986/v.2 S/N 041-001-00311-8 $25.00 There is no abstract given for these documents, the above is all that appears in the Subject Bibliography listing. The other report I mentioned which looks somewhat interesting is: NTIA Trade Report: Assessing the Effects of Changing the AT&T Antitrust Consent Decree. 1987: 132 p. C 60.9:87-19 S/N 003-000-00648-4 $6.50 Abstract: Examines the trade and related effects of possible changes in the 1982 AT&T consent decree. Focuses on the limits that the Federal courts now place on the commercial activities of the Bell companies and the implications of these limits from an international trade and national competitiveness standpoint. Evaluates the lifting of the three restrictions on the Bell operating companies: manufacturing; information services; and inter-LATA long distance services. These can be ordered from: Superintendent of Documents, US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402; you specify the stock number (S/N above), quantity, list that the item appeared on (SB-296), the title, the fact that it is a publication (as vs. a subscription), and the price; the price includes the shipping charges. If you are interested in this topic you should probably also ask for bibliography SB-296, which is free, since it includes the above information for a bunch of other telecommunications publications, as well as the order forms...
