§ Mr. Hugh D. Brownasked the Postmaster General what proposals he has for extending the range of present Post Office data transmission services in the near future.
§ Mr. StonehouseI am pleased to announce that we shall be introducing a new service this month. It will operate at a fixed speed of 2,400 bits per second over private rented circuits, and will be known as Datel 2400. The equipment will also be usable at lower speeds over the public telephone network. This new service will be particularly attractive to larger businesses which require the rapid tansfer of large amounts of data.
