Sprint plans landmark upgrade
canoe.com

Sprint hopes to make the new service available in 36 major markets this year and a total of 60 markets next year.
Cisco Systems is providing key hardware for what is being called the Integrated On-Demand Network, with Bellcore providing the central software.
Sprint will sell the service through RadioShack, which already sells Sprint mobile telephone service.
Several big companies have already committed to using the Sprint service including Hallmark, Silicon Graphics, RadioShack parent Tandy and Ernst
& Young LLP, the announcement said.
Sprint, which trails AT&T Corp. and MCI Communications Corp. in the long-distance business, is the first to announce a new telecommunications
system on such a large scale.
There have long been promises of full-service networks offering everything from video on demand, electronic shopping and more. But telephone
companies need greater capacity and more efficient transmission technologies to send the huge amount of data.
Carriers now use different transmission technologies for voice and data; the dial tone, for example, cannot handle digital data as is. And keeping lines
open to go online ties up circuits.
Experts said an integrated network is needed to combine voice, video and data and pipe them over the same lines.
