INTERNET/ISDN SYNERGY
"ISDN is a sleeping giant that's waking up," says the manager of
BellSouth's ISDN business unit, and industry observers are predicting that
the integrated services digital network might actually begin generating
profits for telcos over the next couple of years.  "ISDN will really take
off when phone companies start selling ISDN and Internet access together,"
says a telecommunications strategist for Furman Selz Inc.  "The average
voice call is five minutes, but people stay online for hours.  The phone
companies see this as adding up to $50 to $80 a month, per ISDN customer,
in incremental revenue."  (Investor's Business Daily 26 Dec 95 A8)
