The Soviet Intercity Telephone Network in the Age of Overload.

Abstract

This study attempts to determine the overall condition of the intercity (long-distance) telephone system of the Soviet Union. Its focus is on the telephone system of the USSR Ministry of Communications, with its nationwide network of intercity telephone stations. The paper provides detailed descriptions of operational procedures at the intercity stations, and describes some of the Soviet plans for the future. The author concludes that: the Soviets find their intercity telephone system to be inadequate in a number of ways; they are occupied with modernization and expansion on a broad scale, gradually replacing outmoded equipment, and increasing channel capacity on their cable and radio-relay mainline systems, and they are gradually changing over to a unified automated system designed to handle the huge volume of digital information generated by the introduction of electronic computers in the management of the national economy.
