NCR To Share Network with 'Outsiders'
Article Abstract:
NCR Corp., through its subsidiary NCR Telecommunications Services Inc. (NCR-TSI), is building an integrated communications network that will be used by NCR's customers and its employees. The first area of concentration for NCR-TSI is in voice communications resale. Two services currently offered on the network are National Net and Thrifticall. National Net is a direct port access service. It can carry both voice and long- distance data communication. Thrifticall is a dial access long- distance service similar to MCI or Sprint. It is currently being used by 6,000 NCR employees and 2,000 commercial businesses. NCR-TSI's success will depend on its ability to offer a total communications network. There are three components of such a network: local-area networks, intracity networks, and long- haul networks.
