MEN, CURCUITS AND SYSTEMS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS
POST OFFICE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ARE DIVERSE AND COMPLEX. FACILITIES INCLUDE ALL TYPES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMMUNICATION - TELEGRAPH, SPEECH, TELEVISION AND DATA. THE GREATEST PROBLEM IS DEPLOYMENT, USE AND CONTROL OF MANPOWER. THE BUSINESS AIM OF THE POST OFFICE IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS IS TO PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE AT THE LOWEST COST AND TO SECURE AT LEAST AN EIGHT PERCENT RETURN ON NET ASSETS. A RECENT PROGRAM TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY HAS BEEN SUCCESSUFL IN MANY WAYS. THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK MUST BE MATCHED TO BOTH THOSE WHO USE IT AND THOSE WHO MUST MAINTAIN IT. THE FUTURE OF THE BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY INCLUDES SUCH THINGS AS ALL-DIGITAL SWITCHING SYSTEMS, COAXIAL CABLE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS WHICH CARRY 10,800 TELEPHONE CIRCUITS ON A PAIR OF TUBES, SELF-HEALING SYSTEMS, FASTER SWITCHING AND VIRTUALLY NOISELESS SPEECH CHANNELS. /BPR/
