PacBell has been quietly installing an all-digital carrier network between
all California COs in preperation for ISDN.  The expected completion
date for the changeover was supposed to be 1994, but I have heard that
it has been delayed.

Say what?  This rumor (urban legend??) is so persistant...  From an ISDN
phone in my lab in Alameda (via a BRITE line to a 5ESS in Richmond) I can
call any phone in the world!  I can also replace the phone with a data
device and call:

* a PacBell 4-wire Sw56 phone number
* an AT&T PRI line that feeds our PBX.  Note: The PBX then drops the calls
  into internal PRI and T1 lines.
* Any AT&T accunet number (700/737-xxxx)
* ISDN lines through out Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia and
  probably others -- those are just the ones I know we've connected with.

Limitations, sure:

* I may need to use 56 kbit/s instead of 64 kbit/s.
* On incoming international calls especially the bearer cap may lie and
  tell me I've got a 64 kbit/s link when it's really 56 kbit/s.
* How come I've got to have the BRITE lines

This isn't just engineering playing.  Our customer service also uses these
lines to provide customer support.  (Ascend makes an Inverse MUX and many
customers first data call after installation is to our Customer Support
group).

Is running your BRI lines at 56 kbit/s end-to-end so bad?  It may not be the
most cost effective in all places, but it does exist as an option.  If the
cost is the same pick the BRI -- It takes forever to pulse dial using SW56
lines.

I had a long talk with a Pac Bell data service rep the other day, and I
asked about ISDN.  According to her, there are two ISDN services-
Centrex and switched 56kbs.  They're both layered on top of
ISDN.  Both cost about $45 a month, plus usage (same rates as voice, for
residential).  Centrex costs $630 for installation, SBS installation
will be free after March 3rd.  Both require two CSU/DSUs at ~$500 each.

I had her look up what's available where I live (Mountain View) and
both services were available.  Usually only one or the other is.

The price of the CSU/DSU, plus the cost of routers to tie into the
LAN are the killers to me.  You can get 56kbs V32bis modems now for ~$400.
Netblazers support 56kbs serial lines.  If your machine at home
can do 56kbs on its serial line, you can run SLIP/PPP and you're set.


Note: I may have the structure of Centrex/ISDN/SBS confused; I'm still
learning about this stuff.

That's the same story I got from them, and it's pretty amazing since the whole
concept of ISDN was to take advanage of existing T1 links between CO's.  And
it doesn't take a whole T1 in any event.  Any time slot of an inter-CO T1
should be capable of being statically or dynamically assigned to an ISDN B
channel, and the signalling can be done on a variety of links including T1
time slots.  (Of course, with older T1 hardware you would only get 56k per
timeslot, but ISDN allows for that.)  Basically they just were using this as
a means for extracting more $$$ from companies doing ISDN R&D.

I doubt that they've actually installed more T1 lines just for ISDN; they've
just decided to make them available "free", rather than billing you an extra
few thousand dollars a month.

ISDN is now supposed to be usable between all ISDN-capable switches in the
SF bay area.  I haven't been able to get a straight story on ISDN data calls
between here and other metropolitan areas.  I wonder if the long distance
carriers are going to try to gouge for data calls?

As an "island" service only.  I can order ISDN in my part of San
Francisco, but I can't even talk to someone less than two miles away.
Technically, ISDN won't really be "here" until something like 1997.

However, the more serious issue is regulatory: there is only one
person on the [California] tariff advisory board representing
residential users and hobbyist interests, and earlier this week
he indicated that prospects for AFFORDABLE service looked
exceedingly dim.  Unless and until ISDN is a demonstrably better
deal than 1FR voice service and Telebit WorldBlazers, why switch?

Pac*Bell would like nothing more than to gouge ISDN users.  For
years they got away with charging more for "Touch-Tone" service
even though it cost them less to provide.  I suggest that unless
there's a massive public outcry, ISDN will become yet another
footnote in history.  Look what happened with Caller ID; when
Pac*Bell couldn't get their way, first they acted like a bunch of
crybabies, and then took their marbles and went home.  Once again
they're stacking the deck so they can claim that the demand
simply isn't there, so they won't have to shell out for
infrastructure upgrades, thus "improving" their bottom line.
