Abstract

This report provides an overview of the ATEC cost/benefit analyses conducted by the government and industry and some of the automation work accomplished by commercial telephone companies. It consolidates the results of many of the plans and studies pertaining to the ATEC cost/benefit analyses and provides an insight into the scope and depth of what has been accomplished. As a basis for comparison, information on some of the automation work accomplished by GTE and the Bell System including the indications and evidence of the cost/ benefits they experienced is provided in the report.
