INS (Information Network System) — Telecommunications for the advanced information society

Abstract

An Information Network System (INS) as the basis of a new world information order. Maximum advantage is to be made of the marriage between telecommunications and computer technologies in implementing the information network. A bit rate tariff system is also proposed to make INS feasible on both a national and international scale. As the community of man transforms itself, on the shoulders of INS, into an advanced information society, the human and technical weaknesses inherent in such a society must be addressed. By harmonizing the natural and social sciences with the needs of humanity, the technological and information-oriented innovations accompanying INS are expected to greatly enrich the quality of life.
